Mixing With One Deck using Serato Scratch Live's Input Reverse Function

Mixing with one deck using Serato Scratch Lives Input reverse function

This is a simple demo to show how you can use the Input Reverse function in Serato Scratch Live to mix with just one deck.

It may be useful if you can you break a needle during a set, or one deck is off for repair / servicing, or you have completely ruined one of the TCVs, There are any number of reasons that may lead you to have just one serviceable deck!

I hope it may help someone out of a sticky situation. sometime. Thank you for watching.

There's an easier way of switching decks without doubling.. Set one side to "absolute" or "relative" (let's say left side) and the other to "internal" on Serato(right). Load a song on side with the table(left) and start playing. While it's playing, click on the left/right crossover button at the top of Serato. This switches the left side of Serato to "internal" and the right side to "absolute" or "relative" as you had it set before. Your table will be now available for use as the "right" side.

@JoeSchmoe131: Thanks JoeSchmoe, that is another very valid method.

It is good that this thread has shown that there are at least three ways of mixing with only one deck should one go down when you are playing out, if you don't like the method I have shown.

your not proud of that mixer. I can tell.

@hueysweeney:

My word, does it show? Tee-hee!

I now have a Behringer DDM400. A (very) budget mixer, but loads of functions.

[theDEFeffect]

isnt easier to just use the instant doubles mode?

[dibley1973]

As per my reply to "armanix510", below...

@prasiatenko im 100% sure you can because iv done it. you can also do it in traktor by starting one song on the deck, then grag the same track into deck 2 and they will be exactly the same

[lookatthistutorial]

@prasiatenko i am 86 % sure u can

[DJHILLSKILL]

or just drag the other track into the right deck

[FieserBauer]

yeah a good pissibility to get even more whack... why not buying traktor and sync your tracks without turntables...

next step: we got "ready to play" partymixes in da club... BUT WHERE IS THE DJ???

;) not against you mate! its cool to see so many music lovers :)
