The scope display in the ScratchLIVE setup screen can tell you alot about your signal path, and is invaluable when troubleshooting problems, check out the above page, and compare to your own display.

a line means one channel is missing, the angle is just the phase/anti-phase balance, or p/ap setting.

thanks for these scope examples...very helpful...
although I still have to figure out why I have 100% good signal when I play...but my threshold still goes to the -24dB range when I try to calibrate it.....
At 2:54 AM 20 August 2005
Hey Josh, I think it would be a great feature if you had the possible cause of someones tracking problem on the screen. Some of those scopes look a like, so adding a "Bad turntable vibration" under the scope will help me not to think its "Using Piggyback Cables".
Just an idea..
At 3:03 PM 20 August 2005
This might be a little too high-tech (I know you guys can do wonders), but what if SSL actually could recognize the cause of the signal and display it?
At 9:38 PM 20 August 2005
thats a great suggestion. For those using IE, I saved this page in my "SSL" folder, just so that if I am ever in a bind trying to figure it out at a club and I have no wireless connection I can look at the pictures saved right on my computer.
Just go to FILE> Save As...> Select the "Webpage Complete" option and save. All pictures and html file will be saved.

I have a question.
I got the horizontal line on the scope for my ortofone catriage. I just switched out the needles (so they're brand new) and I still see the same problem. Using another set of needles showed a good signal scope. anyone know what the possible problem would be and how to fix it?

Ortophons have their connection point too far in the center of the needle cartridge head. This tends to make Ortophons loose partial contact with the tone arm contact points and thus loose one channel (either the left or the right channel) This may be what is happening in this case. Even when new they sometimes have atendency to have one side have more volume then the other. Or it could be a combo of the turntable rca wire having a similar problem and being exponentialy multiplied when added to the ortophon cartridge problem.

that sounds like normal record wear, shouldn't be a problem.
At 8:32 PM 7 December 2005
well, that´s normal... when you use the Vinyl!!! but not for cd!
It´s a analog signal from the record and will never be 100% constant, because there are other sounds (people talking, the Monitorspeaker etc.) that the needle takes with it, too.
It wouldn´t be a problem with cd´s, either but it shouldn´t, cause thats a digital signal.
Don´t think about it... My Signal somtimes at the club (when its full, the Monitor is very loud etc.) is at 70 - 80 - 90
And it works without a problem, except my small problem with the dropout every hour, but that´s not the thema here.

a line means one channel is missing, the angle is just the phase/anti-phase balance, or p/ap setting.
and there are already 2 examples of a line, one for each channel which is missing. You can rotate the angle of them by turning the P/AP knob on the setup screen.

Where did the examples go??
First link all the way at the top. They work for me.
speaking of scope displays my tracking varies from 65-100%. I know thats way too much fluctuation. I am so far to know that its neither the needles nor the records, cause I tested them already. Im assuming an earthing problem, but Im not sure.
I have no USB dropouts but from time to time I get little pop noises that annoy me. Can you help me?
I strongly advise you to start your own thread about it. If you haven't already that is...
hello. i just got my SSL today. i use shure 447's and i scratch and juggle really heavily and haven't changed my needles in a reeeeeally long time...probably more than 2 years. the scope display on the left side somewhat resembles the "damaged needle" diagram, but mine is WAAAAAAAY more screwed up and instead of having the little slash, the WHOLE circle is messed up and looks like it got totally squished. but comparing it to the examples, this is the closest match.
the diagram on the right side is fine, and when i move that needle to the left side, the diagram is still fine, so this leads me to believe my left needle is really messed up. i scratch with my left hand (record hand) so i'm assuming this is the cause or at least a huge contributing factor.
im going to buy a new stylus tomorrow and i think it'll clear it up, but i'm trippin over what bad shape it appears to be in.
anyone else experienced this? based on my experience with rane, im pretty confident it's not a software issue.
djgadget - can you take a screenshot of your "WAAAAAAAY more screwed up" scope?

The damaged needle scope also resembles something you get with an incorrect weight.
Alright I was wicked drunk but, I was on somebody elses set up and tried to hook up Serato. Hooked it up, and every time I loaded a track to either side it would just kick over to vinyl scroll, I farted around with the threshold, rehooked everything and nothing. The scope resembled something like Yul Brynner bodyslamming a wombat, sorry I didn't get a picture.

The inputs (from the turntables or CD players) are the wrong way around.
The left channel output from your turntable or CD player is in the right channel input for Scratch LIVE (and the right channel output is in the left channel input).
This will result in the track playing backwards, and/or movement of the control record or CD scrolling your selection through the library.
Note that many older turntables that have been serviced end up with the red and white RCA cables connected the wrong way around.

These kinds of scopes are usually down to damaged needles or wrong weight on the tonearm, but your main issue is like Zach says

I guarantee that's what it was, he had big beefy RCAs running from his tables. I did the standard weight check, unhooked everything and just hooked up one table and line to the hardware and got the same results. Did all that with one eye closed, so you know what I did next? Peed in his dirty clothes, that's what happens when I can't rave.

Tested it and it's the same here. Though my CV aren't new and my Shures aren't new too.
At 1:38 AM 27 September 2006
I noticed that with ortofon cartridges the signal has been pretty bad for me. Then if I twist the cartridge and tone arm slightly I get a better looking control signal.

This is normal because of the way the tonearm moves across the record. You can minimize the effect by making sure your cartridge is properly aligned.
At 12:26 PM 30 September 2006
thanks nobspangle, any advice regarding aligning concords? not sure if it's adjustable
At 6:41 PM 30 September 2006
Nothing can be done for concordes, they are supposed to be aligned but in practice they aren't.
At 8:30 AM 1 October 2006
My DJ Concorde's show a marked lack of quality compared to a pair of Electros mounted on headshells. I am sure I could still play at the club with them and be just fine, but take the headshell mounted pieces for the real deal.
At 9:40 AM 1 October 2006
so can headshell users confirm that they do not see this condition regarding the control circles becoming uncircular as it reaches the end of the 15 minute mark?
At 6:59 PM 1 October 2006
No matter how i allign my shures (headshell) the circles become more oval as it reaches the end. Though i have PDXs with straight tonearm (maybe that's it).
At 12:06 AM 2 October 2006
I cannot confirm right now, but I assume that if you are getting good tracking when you scratch and the tracking Indicator is stable (a lil' in the red here and there...) throughout the full extent of the record then you should be OK, no?
If the red appears constantly and in large amounts then I would be concerned. Is this happening to you? Are you having other problems in addition to the change in shape and clarity of the scope circle?

All decks with a gimbal (like technics) tonearm will show this effect, aligning your cartridge will help but you'll never get rid of it. You need a parallel tracking arm like this

ok, so i look at my scope, and look at the examples here and i have tried everything, the only fix that helps and get me thru the night is adjusting the threhold....i mean my needles are brand new, i cleaned the contacts in the tone arm, tightened the rca cable, make ground was tight,checked the tonearm weight....the only thing i dont have is foam under the tables for vibration......but thats no it, my scopes look my ear, round on one side and all effed up on the other, i get somewhat of the example of piggyback cables.....but there is none......all are direct connects, i will be taking a pic and vid as the scope changes periodically, thi has to be fixed as i play this gig 3 nights a week

At 7:49 AM 8 October 2006
start up your own help topic if you're still getting threshold problems shortbus :-)
one quick thing to note would be look out for any lighting equipment or (internally) high voltage devices like TV screens/CRT monitors, and power supplies/adapters.
also try moving your SL 1 while looking at the scopes to see if the distortion changes from moving relative to an EM field.

You get a squished half size circle with very bad tracking about0-12 percent.. but still works some how...
One of my turntables has a pinched rca cable.. so When I would only supposedly get half the signal the circle would be half size...
After fidgetting aound I got it to work..
Ill try and post example display I hope you can understand and if you have a example scope display like this post it thanks..

to playback music from your computer you must have the LINE outputs from your Scratch LIVE USB interface connected to the LINE inputs on your mixer.

The THRU outputs allow you to bypass Scratch LIVE to play normal records or CDs. Connect the THRU OUTPUTS of the Scratch LIVE hardware interface to the mixer’s phono inputs when using turntables and connect the thrus to the mixer’s line inputs when using CD players.

Sometimes carts can be a little picky about how they get plugged into some turntables. Try loosening the cart slightly, twisting clockwise/counterclockwise and then tightening the tread so that they are solidly in place.
Try not to blow and never lick the contacts of your cartridge, it only helps temporarily and eventually deteriorates the contacts.
If you feel your contacts may be dirty try DEOXYIT (can be purchased at most Radio Shack stores for about $14.
Good luck.
At 2:11 AM 27 February 2007
Correction: ...twisting clockwise/counterclockwise *on the cratridge itself*...
The idea is to re-align the contacts to a slightly skewed position.

I have my night club s and e's. Both appear to have a bigger circle compared to the 44g's. That's strange cause the output on the 44s are supposed to be significantly louder. Honestly i think im in the clear now. before, i hated the sound of the 44s and id always just take my NC's. Now that im using serato im not concerned with cue burn that heavy scratching will bring using the ortofons. I do still play records so having the NC's on will sound way better. kool now i can burn out these control record instead of my wax.
be aware that cue burn will adversely affect your tracking though...

Thanks DJ Bis. I tried your techniques but I'm still getting the vertical line. I just bought the new Shure "Whitelabel" needles and I have the same problem. Maybe it's the turntable? I tried switching the decks around and the same effect happened on the right side. This is crazy!
Also, when the deck is moving, the tracking indicator is reading "red" about 3/8's of the way. no "grey" at all. The virtual deck is spinning very slowly backwards and it plays regular vinyl perfectly. Thanks.....

scratchlive.net
so if i dont do any scratching im better off using my ortofons huh?
it sounds like it, but essentially the best thing is have some spare records around in any case :-)

Thanks DJ Bis. I tried your techniques but I'm still getting the vertical line. I just bought the new Shure "Whitelabel" needles and I have the same problem. Maybe it's the turntable? I tried switching the decks around and the same effect happened on the right side. This is crazy!
Hmmm, there is a good chance that the cables could be bad or shorted within the tonearm. Did you try normal vinyl to see of music is coming out of both speakers? Is the signal coming out of both speakers if you switch to phono?
Did you try picking up some DEOXIT?
I hope you can figure this out.

hi Dj.B1n4ry,
it looks like your signal is being lost periodically from your TTX, have you tried changing it (and ssl) into phono?
i never got around to doing that .......but it works fine now.....weird
Bj B1n4ry, You Had It Set To Line When It Should Have Been On Phono... and your threshold settings were at the lowest setting... just to let ya know, but its good you got it workin?

I've had some trouble with strange signals. After a while I found out that it was a bad cable getting me confused. Since then I allways carry some new cables, just in case.

You forgot the diagonal lines, which mean ground wires are unhooked. Took me A hot minute to figure that one out till I got under the board at Crobar Miami.
I am getting this as well. I noticed that only one of my turntables is giving me an angled line. This just started happening. what are some fixes I can try to remedy this problem? I'll check the ground on the turntable to see if that's it, but any other suggestions would be helpful. I get this problem when the grounds are hooked up though too.
JaPetto, are you using Ortofon needles?
JaPetto, are you using Ortofon concorde needles?
Greetings.....
I'm getting the sort of error demonstrated below since the 1.71 update, specifically on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with plenty of memory and processor power. The problem doesn't seem to affect my desktop.
scratchlive.net
Where the circle is fairly small, whereas in the past it didn't look as such. It's happening on both tables. I've tried pinpointing the problem but to no avail. I've traded out needles.....redid the wiring.....installed new drivers.....the program....changed out the Serato records.....everything but still I'm getting a little bit of distortion and the above 'error' when using Serato.
I'm getting sound and playable tracks, but they are at far lower quality than what I've been used to hearing.
My question is, do you have to update the Serato program consecutively or can you hop-scotch over releases to the latest release? Also, is there an issue when you use multiple admin accounts on a XP Pro laptop w/ Serato installed? The reason I ask is that I've got Serato installed on one specific admin account (and chose to have it installed across both admin accounts), but was curious if I may be encountering problems because I'm using the alt admin account rather than the one I used to install Serato onto on the same laptop?
Hope that makes sense.
Any ideas?
Do you have phono input selected in the setup menu and not line?
If you do, make a new topic and we'll help you out there :-)

i too have had some problems with different amplitude output of ortofon cartridges... I have noticed it a problem with a particular tip. I wonder if it was just a glitch. Tips are so expensive these days, im not trying to toss this yet.. But one is significantly lower in volume and is indicated as a smaller circle in settings of scratch live
can someone please tell me what this scope is meaning ? I can't find a decent explanation in de manuals.

i got my SSL right out of the box this morning, installed the lot, imported music library from iTunes and got the following scope.
Also the right deck has problems concerning pitch %. It's constantly switching and you can really hear it. all of a sudden the software indicates 11% whereas i'm playing at 3% or something ...
HELP
