Scratch Live has to read the entire file and create
a file index the first time it is loaded. This may
take a few seconds for longer files. After the first
load, it should load instantly.

The file may be damaged, and may need to be
deleted from your library. Please go to the forum
at
scratchlive.net and notify the support team
that you have a bad file. By reporting damaged
or corrupt files, you will help the developers to
improve Scratch Live’s ability to play damaged

Your database and crates are stored in the
folder Home\Music\ScratchLive on a Mac, and
My Documents\My Music\ScratchLive on a PC.
Crates have the file extension .crate and are
located in your subcrates folder. If your library
contains tracks that are stored on a drive other
than your boot drive, a folder called _ScratchLive_
will be created in the root of that drive, and a
separate database will be made in this folder. If
it is a removable drive, the tracks will only appear
in your library when the drive is connected.

FadER CLEaNING
With heavy use in harsh environments, the fader may need lubrication.
This treatment extends longevity and can make a used fader as good as new.
The fader assembly must be removed from the MP 4 for proper cleaning.
We recommend any of the following cleaning solutions:
• Caig deoxIT FaderLube F100 spray lubricant
• Caig deoxIT FaderLube F5 spray cleaner
• CRC 2-26 (www.crcindustries.com)
