Recording
The MP 4 allows you to record from several sources, allowing
you to convert vinyl and tape to digital, make samples, or record
a performance. The recording will be saved to disk as 24-bit
48K Stereo AIFF files. Recordings are saved in ‘ My Documents\
My Music\ScratchLIVE\Recording ’ on a PC, and ~/Music/Scratch-
LIVE/Recording/ on a Mac. Recordings will also be automatically
added to your Scratch LIVE library, and added to a crate named
Recorded .
By clicking immediately to the right of the record light, you
can select which input to record. The function mix will save the
mixed output to disk. You can choose whether the Mic Input is
included in this recording by pressing the MIC TO USB RECORD
button on the back of the MP 4. Functions a in and b in will
save Program A or Program B respectively. The mic function will
ignore all other inputs, saving only the microphone input.
Press the red record button to start and stop recording. Enter
a name for the recording in the text field to the right of the
elapsed time. Press the save button b to save the recording to
disk.
Tip: Use keyboard shortcut ctrl-n to start a new recording.

fore inserting a CD, as they may interfere with Scratch LIVE .

default media player. Highlight a track and press ctrl-o . This will
