and INT modes. Play from start must be checked in the Playback tab of the Setup screen for autoplay to work correctly. See "Play From Start" on page 33. Track Gain Use the track gain knob to balance the volume of the tracks in your library. Any adjustment made to the gain of a track is saved with the file, and will be reapplied to the entire track when it is loaded again. The level meter shows the level sent to the hardware interface after both individual track gain and master gain adjustment. Ctrl-click the knob to reset it to 12 o'clock. NOTE: For automatic gain setting of your tracks, see "Use Auto Gain" on page 33. USB Dropout Indicator The USB dropout indicator on the main screen is a useful trouble shooting tool if you have problems with audio dropouts. Such dropouts are caused by an interruption in passing the audio to the Scratch Live hardware interface. If such an interruption (or dropout) occurs, a red light will appear briefly, just to the left of the Scratch Live logo at the top of the screen. The light will be red for one second, and then orange for four seconds. If you experience USB drop outs: • Increase the USB Buffer Size. See "USB Buffer Size (Latency)" on page 32. • Try closing other applications that are running at the same time as Scratch Live. • Try turning off background tasks, for example, wireless networking. Display Modes Scratch Live gives you the option of four different display modes to suit your performance style. The Display Mode buttons are located in the top left of the Main Screen. The display modes are: Library Mode: Maximizes your library space by minimizing the Virtual Deck information displayed. In Library Mode only the track information, Virtual Deck, mode, track overview display and meter are displayed. Use the space bar to toggle between Library Mode and your current display mode. Classic Vertical Mode: The two Primary Decks are displayed on the left and right sides of the screen with vertical waveforms in the middle. Classic Horizontal Mode: The two Primary Decks are displayed on the left and right sides of the screen with horizontal waveforms in the middle. 2-Deck Stack Mode: The Primary Decks are stacked on top of each other in a horizontal fashion. Stack Mode aligns the waveforms on top of each other, while maximizing waveform space. The controls for all Decks can be shown or hidden by pressing the Show Deck Controls Button  on any Deck. Library Views You can choose between four different library views which allow for visual browsing using text and album art. Select your Library View by using the buttons in the bottom left area of the main screen. The available Library Views are: Simple List: Displays the track information in a text list. Album Art List: Adds an album art column to the Simple List mode. Album Art Grid 1: Displays the album art as a grid with the track information text to the right. Album Art Grid 2: Displays the album art as a grid with the track information text below. NOTE: Your files must have album art added for it to be displayed. See "Adding Album Art" on page 27. TIP: For all views you can adjust the font size by using the Font Size slider in the Library tab on the Setup screen. For all Album Art views you can adjust the album art size using the Album Art Size slider in the same area. • If your CPU load is very high, try decreasing the Maximum Screen Updates setting in the Display tab of the Setup screen. See "Maximum Screen Updates" on page 35. 4-Deck Stack Mode: Like 2-Deck Stack Mode, showing all four decks. See "Select Primary Decks" on page 32.
