SERATO SCRATCH LIVE CONTROL CD SOFTWARE

If you’ve moved the slider all the way to -24 and its still fluctuating then you have a grounding or interference problem somewhere in the chain. If that number is fluctuating then manually move the estimate slider to the right until that number is stable at 0.0. In the bottom left is the current threshold setting, and the number in the bottom right shows the percentage of readable signal – this number should be close to 85% when your system is calibrated properly.įor further information, please read this article on Diagnosing the Scope ViewsĪfter calibration, the number in the upper right corner of the scope view should say 0.0 while the needle is on the record and the turntable is stopped. The number in the top right corner is the current speed in RPM. The number in the top left corner of the scope view gives the current absolute position within the control record or CD. Use the scope L/R balance and P/A balance controls to adjust the shape of the inner ring. Use the scope zoom slider to zoom in or out as necessary. You will see green rings appear in the scope view, as shown above.įor optimal performance the inner ring should be as close to circular as possible. The key factors to look at on the scope display are crisp clean lines, round shape, and the tracking percentage in the lower right corner. The scopes on the setup screen in Serato DJ display the input signal as a phase diagram. In some situations you will not be able to improve the signal quality, and you will have to play on regardless. Check all your connections and make sure your equipment is well earthed. TIP: If the slider jumps to the far right, then you have a problem with noise in your turntables/ CD players/mixer. You should calibrate Serato DJ every time you play.

The background music playing must be at a similar level to which you will play your set at.

Your turntable (or CD player) must be stationary.

Moving the Noise Sensitivity slider to the left will make Serato DJ more sensitive to slow record movement, but also more sensitive to background noise. Have the CD deck paused or stopped while calibrating. Click and hold the estimate button until the slider stops moving. If you are using CD players, the same rules apply. With music playing in the background through your system or booth output, put your needle on the record with the turntable stopped. This setting is necessary because a stylus is very sensitive, and will inevitably pick up noise from the environment as well as the signal on the record, especially in the noisy environment of a live show. In the case of Serato DJ, the noise threshold is the limit below which the input signal will not be interpreted as control signal in other words if it’s below the threshold, it is considered noise and ignored. A threshold is a lower limit, below which a process will not occur.

With your DVS compatible hardware connected, open the Setup screen, by clicking the in the top right-hand corner of Serato DJ Pro.

The NoiseMap™ sounds like random noise over the top of the tone. The directional tone provides the current speed and direction of the record, while the NoiseMap™ tells the software precisely where on the record the needle is currently. Listening to the control vinyl, the directional tone is the 1 kHz tone. There are two parts to the Serato DJ Control Vinyl: The directional tone, and the NoiseMap™. Calibration is equally important for both vinyl and CD users of Serato DJ.Ĭalibration is NOT required when only using a controller to control Serato DJ. Calibration is only required for devices with DVS control that are using external control sources (eg: turntables). Calibrating is just configuring the software to your situation.

Therefore, Serato DJ needs to be able to handle a wide range of signals, and be configurable to use them optimally. Since DVS in Serato DJ is controlled by an analogue signal, there is no guarantee of what state that signal will be in by the time the software gets to interpret it.
