Konix's Scratch Live Video Tutorials
Some great videos here guys, take time to check them out!
From Konix:
The first one I have done is instant doubles. After reading this and several other forums, I've found many people don't know how to use 1 turntable with SSL or the instant doubles feature, or let alone even know it exists or what it does. So, here it is broken down...

Hi all, I am in the process of making several video tutorials and how tos with ScratchLIVE, and also "help" videos to some of the most "common" SSL problems (i.e. "noob" RTFM problems) to save me the time of having to repeat the same thing over and over every week in the Help forum.The first one I have done is instant doubles.

Hey Konix I use the serato program to record my live mixes. I use a rca cable with the earphone plug at the end. The rca part goes into the ttm56 mixer master output then the earphone pluggin part to the interface mic input. Then I use rca cable form mixer aux output to amp input to hear what im mixing.
In the serato software change record option to mic. just make sure your mic gain is a zero on the interface. The mixes never sound like ish either. I just do a lil editing with another program like normalizing, hiss reduce, convert to mp3 etc..

Yes, just rename your ScratchLIVE folder in your Music folder on the internal drive to something like "ScratchLIVE_old" and this wil prevent SSL from loading all your crates from the internal drive's songs. Start SSL with your external plugged in and if you did everything correctly it will only load the crates with the songs from the external drive. Try loading a few songs up, if they load, you're good.

When you get a chance, any possibility you can make a video on the new Loop Roll?
i.e. using it, mapping it to midi, etc.

Since everyone wants to try 1.9 but doesn't want to get rid of 1.8, a lot of people have been asking about running multiple versions of SSL on their computer. I wanted to make a video to show someone, but I figured I'd ask the Serato Tutor first. The instructions are posted by the Serato team in the beta, but I don't think everyone understands.
Personally, on Windows I modify my desktop shortcut to point to the C:\Program Files\Serato\ScratchLIVE folder and rename the .exe files in there. On Mac, I just put the .app files on my desktop with the version numbers.

Hey Konix,
might be a good idea to make a video on how to utilize the new set/play list export?
Ie:
how to export them (txt,csv,m3u), how to use them in a spread sheet, how to import a m3u playlist to a media player (iTunes, Media Monkey etc) for syncing your set list to an mp3 player.
I guess you've covered some of it already.
Its fairly obvious, but some might have missed this great new feature.

Hey Konix or anyone else for that matter.
I followed your tutorial on how to backup all tracks, crates, etc on an external but it doesn't exactly work for me. I think the reason is because of the way make my crates:
I use itunes to import all of my music. I make a playlist in itunes (which then shows up in SL). I then open up SL and make a SL crate. After that I highlight and drag all songs from the itunes playlist into the SL crate. Once all my songs are in there I can then make subcrates, etc...I then go into itunes and delte the original playlist that I created. So in the end I have a bunch of SL crates, no itunes playlists even though everything is reading through itunes.
Now when I plug in my external to another computer/or same computer, all of my crates and everything show up, but all my music has the pink question mark showing there are no files found. Any thoughts?

corrupt database. rename it to something else.then reload serato and let it read all your tags.and all your files will show up correct.
depending how many files you have it might take a little while.
hope this helps.

The pink question mark means that specific file can't be found. If it can't find the song, first figure out where you are looking (use the location field). Then figure out where your file is. There's more to it, but once you understand the foundation of how it works and what the error messages mean, you can work your way to a solution. Just relate it to real world stuff... like records. Basically, you have a bunch of empty record sleeves and no vinyl. Find your vinyl.

Right click the file (in iTunes), select "Get Info," go to the artwork tab, and if you see multiple pics, click and highlight and delete the ones you don't want. Then the correct one should show in SSL.

You could try going into your _scratchlive folder and renaming the "database" file into "database_old" and let serato load up every track again.

konix firstly please except my apology for spelling your name wrong. do you use itunes to initially sort your music and tag it. paticuarly house music hard to find album covers and correct tags especially remixes. or do you sort it prior if so what do you use..

To run 2 (or more) versions of SSL, rename the current one on your computer (add 1.8.3 or something) then when downloading the new one it will not replace the current one.
if you want more than 2, just keep changing the names.

go into SSL settings, make sure read iTunes libary is not checked. if not all of your songs appear, open the folder where your songs are located, and drag them to your all folder. this should not cause duplicates (as far as i'm aware, or have experienced)

Mr.Konix, i appreciate you posting this video. I'm still a lil lost cause i use itunes within SSL for my songs. When i open up the music folder on my mac i only see an itunes folder and a scratchlive folder. It appears that all of my songs are in itunes. so my question is how do i move the songs over to an external to mimick my created ssl crates when all of the songs are stored in itunes. I'm starting to get very nervous that i could lose all of my music if something goes wrong with my internal hd or the laptop itself. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating and hyperventilating from a bad nightmare that i lost all of my music. I sincerely appreciate any help on this matter.

Yes you still need to calibrate with CDJs, but instead of putting the needle on the record you just pause the CD.

However I will say calibration is probably not as important (but still important enough) with CDJs as it is with turntables, due to the nature of CD players being all digital and turntables being analog. You don't have to worry about needles/vibrations/ground wires, etc.

Thanks, the reason i ask is because i have played both ways and can't tell the different, but for now on out i will calibrate.

calibration is so important with turntables.
record fluctuation speed and scratching is off if not done correctly.

Konix - When you midi to your DDM4000 are you using the SL1 still?

Let me restate my question above:
When you midi to the 4000, I presume you still setup the SL1 as normal right?

Konix - I just got into the MAC world. I seen your vid on moving crates/songs/ect from a PC to an external drive. I would rather keep it there for mobility purposes anyway, but do you have a vid on connecting my new MAC to the external drive with PC data and using my old crates/songs/stuff?
Thanks dude! Your real life solutions are great. I know youve answered my questions for so many people.

If all your crates are already on the external drive, then you don't have to do anything...maybe. If the drive is formatted Windows NTFS, then you won't be able to save/change/edit/delete/modify anything on the ext drive when connected to the Mac, as Macs cannot write* to NTFS drives, only read. If the ext drive is FAT32, then it's ready to go on the Mac and you don't have to do anything.
*It's possible for Macs to write to NTFS drives via third party programs/drives like MacFUSE and NTFS-3G, but I really don't recommend these.

How come when i try to do this it goes all the way to the right?? I end up playing with it all the way to the right and nothing bad happens, but that would be cool if i could make it go to the middle..

Konix, I have a new mac and watched your video on moving songs to an external, works great btw. On the Internal HD, everytime I save the ScratchLIVE folder to ScratchLIVE_old, the mac will create a new ScratchLIVE folder? Does this make sense? It does the same thing if I delete it, makes a new one? On my external drive, my folder is named _ScratchLIVE_ just as you described in your video. Got any suggestions? I dont have the latest Leopard OS just FYI. Thanks.

your mac is reading both External and Internal drives. Try unpluggin the usb from the external drive, then open up SSL again and you should see only your internal files.
I think that's what your asking? (no expert)

Deck - thats not what I want to happen. I only want to see my external. The purpose behind this transfer from internal to external is to save space on your pc harddrive and store everything on the external.

After you have copied all your stuff to the external, You need to go into the internal drive, delete the ScratchLIVE folder and all your music....

@ Sleezy: Gotcha
do what WarpNote said, SSL should then read you External Files then.

So I just upgraded my mac to SNOW LEOPARD Everything seemed to be working the same until i added new music to my HD and then I hit my scratch tools command short cut to sync my HD folders with my serato crates and all the sudden I have duplicate songs (not crates ) but songs in my entire library.... what happened ?

I dont have the latest Leopard OS just FYI. Thanks.That is normal. There always has to be a ScratchLIVE folder in your Music folder. This is the "main" one SSL uses to store most of it's stuff, like the history, crash log, overview builder log, MIDI settings, recorded sets, Whitelabel files, etc. These aren't stored in the external drive _ScratchLIVE_ folders. So if you delete the ScratchLIVE folder in the Music folder, SSL will just make a new one on next load.
The purpose of renaming/deleting it is just to prevent SSL from loading the crates/subcrates from the Internal drive.

Step 1: Play a track in internal mode at volume which will be used (club volume)
Step 2: Click setup put my CDJ's on pause
Step 3: Click the estimate button
Now when I click or hold the estimate button while the CDJ is paused the bar moves all the way to the left -72db.. If I click the or hold the estimate button down while the CDJ is playing.. it movies the bar all the way to the right -24db
when the CDJ is paused the top right corner doesnt bounce around and stays at 0.0 and the bottom right corner says 0%..
when the CDJ is playing it shows the pitch % at which the CDJ is at and it shows 100%.
but i dont understand why it goes to -24db when playing or -72db when paused?
shouldn't it be in the middle as per Konix's video?

With CDJs it's a little different. Calibrating isn't as important (but still important enough) with CDJs as it is with turntables, since CDJs are digital and don't have a lot the "analogue" problems associated with turntables that cause a lot of the noise issues (ground wires, needles, vibration, etc.). If you're getting -72dB with CDJs, then great. As long as you don't get any "ghost" movements on the virtual decks and/or digital grumbling when the player is stopped, then you're good.

hey Konix.. i get ghost movements when my setting is at -72db which is what it calibrates at when my cdjs are paused and the volume is turned up on internal mode.. i tried doing it manually and possibly putting it in the middle around 47db.. but the only time i dont get ghost movements is when its -24db..
just so we're talking about the same thing.. ghost movement refers to the waveform moving slightly even when the cdj is paused?
i have SL3
thx
