Hmmm...

It's quite easy to be honest.. You do have to think for two seconds but there are plenty of diagrams on the net.

Not to mention..

http://www.scratchlive.net/forum/


Anyway, this diagram will give you the best idea of what you have to do.



As you can see, on one side of the serato box, you'll have 4 inputs, on the other side you'll have 8 (RCA inputs that is).

As you can see in the diagram, you have to plug your turntables into the side that only has 4. 2 rca's for each deck.

Now on the other side you might get confused with the thru and Line inputs. You only really need to connect the line outputs up. EG. Get an RCA cable and where it says line, plug one end of the rca in there, and the other end into a 'line input' on your amp, NOT! the 'phono input'.

Once you've done that you're ready to go really.

Just to let you know though, the 'thru' connections can be used by hooking another set of rca's from the thru connectors up to your mixers 'phono input'. What this basically does is it allows your turntables to play normal vinyl. So instead of the system going through your serato program, you can take your control vinyl off put on a normal vinyl. Switch the input on your mixer to the channel that is assigned to your phono channel. And it'll bypass serato..

Do that when you have a control vinyl on the turntable and you'll hear a nice constant high pitch tone. That's basically what the serato vinyl sounds like. If you hear this sound, you're just on the wrong channel.

Anyway, if you have any other questions just ask away.

This is a bit of a long winded explanation but i think it should make sense.

take FS back and get SSL

I wanted to say that, but seeing as he just got it. I couldn't get myself to bash his new purchase.

If you can get away with bringing it back, i would definitely follow Mr. Morello's advice.. :)

i know FS is poo, but i didnt buy it i was givin to a friend for free. so he just wanna mess about with it for a wile. the fella who gave him it never used it so he dosent know how to set it up either

i tryed gettin on the NI forum but i still cant post yet, so any 1 else want to explain how its set up before i throw it out the window?
GavMcG
any 1:whip: ?

The "modem like noise" is the timecode on the vinyl that controls the position of the mp3 on the PC. If you flick the inputs on your mixer to phono this is what you'll hear as you're just hearing exactly what's on the record. Flick them to line and you should hear the mp3s.
