if you are trying to scratch acapella tracks in ableton/atc track load on the serato deck at the moment that is one of the limitations from Abletonlive's sound engine because when playing clips they are only able to move forward. Ableton sound engine doesn't have the ability to move backwards. well as Scratchlive's sound engine has the ability to move forward and backwards.


so the best way to accomplish what you are trying to do would be to have abletonlive play the instrumental clips and have a crate of all your acapella tracks in scratchlive library and play them using scratchlive plus do the scratching in scratchlive.
