Rane Serato Scratch Live Second Edition Vinyl

Due to old technology involved in the mastering process, the original control vinyl (CV01) has a pitch variation pressed into every copy. This is due to the lathe which cut the master rotating at a slightly different speed at different points in the record. This variation in pitch (up to 0.7% in some places) can make it difficult to keep a long mix using two pieces of vinyl in sync, as the apparent speed of the records drift away from each other.

Second edition control vinyl (CV02)

The Second Edition Scratch LIVE vinyl (CV02) is different from the first edition (CV01) in two ways. Firstly, the record was mastered on much better equipment than the original, and does not suffer from any noticeable pitch variation (0.0026% max).Secondly, the absolute positioning signal used in CV02 differs from CV01 enabling the software to distinguish which version of the vinyl is being used, and even which side is playing. The second edition is obvious from the red band on the upper right corner of the sleeve. The label on the vinyl, besides being marked CV02, has large A and B markings to easily tell between the 10:00 and 15:00 sides. Scratch LIVE software version 1.2 and higher is required to use the second edition vinyl.

Side A: 10 minutes plus vinyl select area.
Side B: 15 minutes

Only use this vinyl with Scratch LIVE 1.2 and higher.

Software updates are available for free at the Official Scratch LIVE Forum at www.scratchlive.net. Check this regularly for software updates and performance tips. You may continue to use the original vinyl as backup, as software will be compatible with both vinyl versions.
