Introduction

This article addresses different problems+solutions why changes like cue points, loops, etc. to crates and audio files are not stored.

Start

Crate informations are stored as ordinary files on your harddisk. If you change them SSL needs to alter the crate files, which are stored. Same goes for any changes to audio files. At first we will find out the location where where the crates/audio files are stored, then we will remove any read/write protection.

Which location?

At first, we need to find out which location either the crates are stored to, or the audio files reside.

Crate location

  1. On PC:
    • for files from your system partition (usually C:)
      C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Music\ScratchLIVE ("<username>" must be replaced with the user name you are logged in to Windows)
    • for files on any other partition (lets assume the drive letter is D:)
      D:\.ScratchLIVE\
  2. On Mac:
    • for files from your system partition
      Home/Music/ScratchLIVE
    • for files on any other partition (lets assume the volume name is "EXT_HD")
      EXT_HD/.ScratchLIVE/

Audio file location

To find out the location of your audio files enable the path and file location column of SSL. Then you should be able to see the location for each individual file. It is recommended to keep all audio files in a designated folder for easier access etc.

Removing read/write protection

  1. PC:
    1. Open a command box (->Start->Run "cmd")
    2. Enter 
       attrib -R "C:\Documents and Settings\nik39\My Documents\My Music\ScratchLIVE" /S /D

C:\Documents and Settings\nik39\My Documents\My Music\ScratchLIVE must be replaced with the proper path of your audio files and/or crates (see above)

  1. Mac:
    1. Open a terminal
    2. Enter 
       chmod -R u+wx "Music/ScratchLIVE/"

Music/ScratchLIVE must be replaced with the proper path of your audio files and/or crates (see above)
