Who is using Serato Scratch?
 

Hello DUC,

Is anyone using Serato Scratch without any problems? I have installed it and have had some issues with locking up. Also, are the external plates that are provided with Scratch work with your turntables and mixer? I have hooked everything up as directed but still have a few issues. I wanted to see if anyone else may have Serato Scratch working correctly or not. Give me some confidence that this works! Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I've used serato scratch with an m-box on a 12 inch powerbook and it ran fine. I took it along to a club i was djing at and it was cool, i got some people who were there to say some stuff in a mic, recorded it straight into the plugin and then scratched those sample using the records. A couple of things i found out were: When using the serato record, you must have both the left & right outs from the turntable connected or it won't work. Also, you must make sure both inputs have equal gain, or it won't go properly.
The annoying thing about using it with m-box, is there aint enough in's and outs on m-box. I was thinking i could have a mic plugged in input 1 and then the scratch record to input 2, but you cant because, u gotta have both inputs connected. So that means for scratch heads out there who need to go back through dj mixer to get your cuts going, you need an interface with more than 2 inputs if you wanna record your scratches back in to pro tools.
Also, for m-box users, make sure you have line input selected on the front (not mic).
002 rack would be ideal for a dj, you could run the whole show with that many ins and outs.

Peace!
