The red portion indicates when parts of the record could not be identified, due to dust, scratches, record burn etc. The total length of the line represents the speed of the record. The tracking display is now a horizontal line just above the mode buttons. The layout of the virtual deck has changed: The icon on the top left is the label color (click to change the color of the label of the loaded track), on the top right is the repeat button, bottom left is the censor button, and bottom right is the eject button. There is now a single button to set a new cue point, and x buttons to remove each cue point. Markers are now called cue points, and are visible in the main waveform display. Use the censor button to ‘mask’ parts of the track, for example to remove bad language, or for effect. The censor button will temporarily reverse the playback direction – when you release the censor button, play will resume from the position you would have been in if you had not pressed the button. The new censor function can be used in Internal and Relative modes. See cue keys use shift in the setup screen. Since many of these functions could accidentally disrupt a mix, you have the option of requiring the shift key to be held down or caps lock enabled. The keyboard shortcuts on a US keyboard are: For example, on a US keyboard the cue keys are QWERTYUI and ASDFGHJK, but on a French keyboard the cue keys are AZERTYUI and QSDFGHJK.

These keyboard shortcuts use the first two rows of letter keys on your keyboard, irrespective of the letters printed on them. There are new keyboard shortcuts (cue keys) to go with the new playback controls. This will set the pause from an instant stop to a gradual slow down, like a turntable power-down. You can adjust the braking speed of the pause feature in the setup screen.

Moving the fader away from full cut will start playback. Moving the MP 4's fader to full cut for that deck will pause the track at the trigger point.

For MP 4 users, pressing the fader button sets this cue point to the current location. The temporary cue point is not saved with the file, and defaults to the beginning of the track if it has not been set elsewhere – so this can also be used to jump to the beginning of the track. You can jump to the temporary cue point by pressing I for the left Virtual Deck and K for the right Virtual Deck. Press alt-I to set this temporary cue point for the left virtual deck, and alt-K to set it for the right Virtual Deck. There is a new temporary cue point that behaves like the "Cue" button on a CD player. The internal mode now uses a finer resolution for the pitch display - 2 decimal places instead of 1. You can set the playback speed using the buttons under the cue points – half speed, 33/45 (45 rpm record playing at 33), normal speed, 45/33 (33rpm record playing at 45), or double speed. You can make small pitch adjustments by clicking above or below the large pitch slider, and bend by clicking on either side of the small pitch slider. The new controls above the Virtual Deck are, from left to right The new pitch bend function makes temporary adjustments to the pitch, allowing you to align to two tracks that are playing at the same speed but are out of time. You can start and pause playback both forwards and backwards. Internal mode now has two pitch sliders, a large slider for making coarse pitch changes, and a small slider for making fine pitch adjustments. Note that the MP 4 does not support external control via vinyl. This version of Scratch Live supports the new MP 4 USB mixer from Rane. Scratch Live version 1.4 has a vastly improved Internal mode, modeled on a DJ style CD player.
