Hi djdeeg.

Have you set up your turntables into the inputs of the SL1, and then the THRU into the mixer's Phono inputs, and the LINE out of the SL1 into the CD/LINE of your mixer's channel.

If you play the NoiseMap™ vinyl, can you see the circles in the Setup screen in Scratch Live ok?

Also make sure the mixer is hooked up to the amp properly.

Check this article:

Let me know how you go.

When i play timecode vinyl is no circles in the Setup screen and everything is setup ok.
It seem that both input channels are death. Cables from turntable are ok and i try several type of stylus but it was same problem. I am DJ for 18 years and i know how to connect things in dj setup. I think that is problem in electronic in soundcard.

Can you hear anything coming out of the SL box when playing a track from internal mode?
djdeeg 12:00 AM - 18 February, 2009
No, nothing coming out....

But you can see the LEDs inside Scratch Live playing the track?

Can you unplug everything, then plug the SL1 box directly into a Line in on your amplifier? Do you hear sound then?
djdeeg 12:11 AM - 18 February, 2009
Yes, LEDs playing....
No, is nothing out when i connect SL directly........

How long have you had your SL1 box for?
djdeeg 4:15 AM - 18 February, 2009

So just to be totally clear there's nothing coming out of any of the RCA outputs from the SL box (the Line outs, or the Phono Thrus etc?). If there's not, we may have to get Rane to have a look at this. Let me know, and I'll let you know what to do from here.
Cheers.

Yes man, output signal is zero ....... if somebody can send me schematics with signal flow of SL i'll try find error. If not, please tell me nearest Rane service (i am from Croatia) where to send SL.

Have you tried your SL1 using a different computer?

Do you have access to a different SL1 you can use for testing?
djdeeg 7:31 PM - 19 February, 2009

Unfortunately, we don't have a schematic available to the public. All Scratch LIVE hardware units (SL1, MP4, TM57SL) are FSO (Factory Service Only) and until they come of the FSO list, no schematics can be sent to the public.

Have you contacted Niking?
djdeeg 12:32 PM - 20 February, 2009
On Niking's number nobody answer.
I heard that he was sold this firm.

Sorry for all the trouble :(

I'll ask Dean Standing (our International Sales Manager) for the contact info of our current distributor in Croatia and post back :)




To reiterate what I posted earlier, you can always send the unit to us (Rane) for factory service repair.
