VISuAL AIDS pLAy mODES Scratch Live has three different play modes whichyouassigntoeachVirtualDeck. Absolute mode most closely resembles the properties of regular vinyl; needle dropping, scratching, rubbing and other turntablist techniques are most faithfully reproduced in thismode. AbsoluteModeistherecommended mode to use when using the standard hardware functionsonCDJs. Relative mode allows for skip free scratching and the use of Scratch Live's cueing, looping and censor controls. Internal mode lets you play and mix files without external vinyl or CD control. Internal mode contains a start/stop function, a pitch slider and pitch nudge controls. It is also the emergency mode Scratch Live defaults to when theendofacontrolrecordorCDisreached. When a track is playing several waveforms and visual aids are displayed. Tempo Display provides a helpful tool for beat matching - each peak represents the beats withinatrack. Asyouchangethepitchofasong, these peaks shift position. When track tempos are in-time, these peaks will be aligned. beat matching Display emphasizes the position of beats within a track alongside the waveform display, for quick beat matching. Track Overview Display shows an overview ofthetrackwaveform, whichisusefulforfinding transitions in a track and for jumping quickly to any part of the song.
