File Management Located in the files pane are two buttons, rescan ID3 tags and relocate lost files. Use these tools for ongoing file and library management. Rescan ID3 Tags Click this button to force Scratch Live to re-read all file tags. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files, folders, or drives onto the rescan id3 tags button from the files pane. This will only scan the files that you drag and drop, resulting in much faster processing. TIP: Rescanning the tags is a handy way to identify all the files that Scratch Live can't find (for example if the files have been altered or moved). These tracks will show up red in the main track list, with an exclamation mark in the status column. You can sort by the status column to group all these tracks together. Relocate Lost Files This feature finds music and folders on your computer that you have either moved or altered. 1. Click the Relocate Lost Files button to search all your drives (internal and external) for files currently marked as not found in your library. 2. When this process is complete, your Scratch Live library will be updated with the new location of your files. TIP: Drag and drop files, folders, or drives onto the Relocate Lost Files button from the Files pane. This is useful if you know the location of your files, as it only scans the drag and drop location, with faster relocation. Deleting Crates and Tracks To delete tracks from your Scratch Live library, select the track and use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-delete. Make sure you have the Protect library option unchecked in the Library tab of the Setup screen. • Deleting a track when you are in the " All..." playlist removes it from your library and any crates that the track may be in. • Deleting a track inside a crate removes it from that crate but the file will remain in your " All..." playlist. • Deleting a track from a subcrate will remove it from the subcrate and the main crate but not the " All..." playlist. • Crates that are deleted are sent to the recycle bin/trash. NOTE: To delete any files from your library and your hard drive (sending them to the recycle bin) use the shortcut ctrl-shift-delete. If you are using iTunes playlists, your files cannot be deleted this way. You will need to delete them from within iTunes. Copy & Move Files & Folders Scratch Live gives you the ability to copy and move files, folders and crates between drives or to a new location on the same drive. To copy or move your files and/or folders, open the Files panel and select, drag and drop them in the desired new location. Scratch Live will then prompt you with the following options: Copy: Select this to make a copy of the selected files and folders in the new location. Your Scratch Live library will now contain entries for both the originals and copies. Move: Select this to move the selected files and/or folders to the new location. Your Scratch Live library and crates will now reference the files in their new location. Cancel: Cancel any changes. Remove original references from library: Check this option when using the copy feature to remove the original references to these files in your Scratch Live library and replace them with the copies in the new location. The original files will still be kept in their current location, but will no be longer referenced in your Scratch Live library. Copy & Move Crates You can also copy or move your Crates and Subcrates to another drive in the same way. Open the Files panel and select, drag and drop your Crates or Subcrates to the new drive. You will be presented with the same options as mentioned above. More information is in the Support Articles at serato.com. Scratch Live Backup Scratch Live stores your library database and crates information in the Scratch Live folder on your hard disk. This folder is created on a drive when files are added to Scratch Live. A copy of each Scratch Live folder called ScratchLiveBackup is created next to the folder it is backing up. This folder is created when exiting Scratch Live. You will be prompted to backup your Scratch Live library on exit if there is no backup for a drive or if the last backup is more than one week old. Backup will only keep ONE level backup at a time; each time backup runs, it overwrites the previous backup. NOTE: Make sure you back up your music separately. This only backs up the Scratch Live folder, not your files. RANE SIXTY-ONE MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.0 33
