Rane SL3 SL3 Owners Manual for Scratch Live 2.5.0 - Page 30

LiveFeed Using LiveFeed First locate the LiveFeed files in your library. Type "livefeed" into the search box and you will see: LiveFeed - Rane SL3 Aux In LiveFeed - Rane SL3 Aux In (Gated) -x dB. Mixing With One Turntable Or CD Player LiveFeed allows you to stream the Aux input from the SL3 to a Virtual Deck. For instance, you can connect any available mixer output to the SL 3 Aux In to record a section of your set. You can then instantly play the recording back just like a normal audio file - you can scratch it, speed it up, slow it down, set loops and set cue points. There are two recording options, Normal and Gated. The Normal option means recording will begin as soon as the normal Livefeed track is loaded to the Virtual Deck. The Gated option means that after a Gated Livefeed track is loaded, recording only begins once the set gate level is exceeded (thus avoiding periods of silence). You can set the gate level by clicking the dropdown menu in the LiveFeed filename. A lower gain setting makes the gate more sensitive. The amount of time available to record is determined by your audio cache setting. The track overview display shows the amount of usable audio you have to play with from the recording. Click anywhere in the track overview display to jump to your desired position in the recording. See "Audio Cache" on page 35. Load the desired LiveFeed file to either Deck. The waveforms will start to build in the track overview and main waveform display as the input is recorded, you can now use the recording as normal. Performing a needle drop on the record brings the playhead back to the "now" position in the audio stream. This single turntable technique allows you to mix as if you had two turntables, using just one. If one of your turntables is not performing properly, or if you only have one available, you will be able to continue to mix the way you are used to. The following describes how to perform a mix using only your right turntable or CDJ with the instant doubles feature. Menu Settings Go to the Setup menu, click on the Playback tab. Make sure Instant doubles is checked, and Lock playing deck is unchecked. 1. Load a track onto the Right Deck in Scratch Live and play as usual. 2. Put the Left Deck into INT mode. 3. Load the same song you have playing on the Right Deck onto the Left Deck. The track on the Left Deck will start playing from the same point and at the same pitch as the Right Deck. 4. You can now quickly slide your mixer's crossfader over to the Left Deck. 5. Your Right Deck is now free to load up a new song ready to mix in. 6. Repeat! TIP: Instant doubles works with either Deck. See "Lock Playing Deck" on page 32. See "Instant Doubles" on page 33. 30 RANE SL3 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.0
