TIP: Remember that ctrl-n turns recording on
and off, and you can load a recording without
saving it using shift + left arrow or shift + right
arrow. Drop the needle into a loud part of the
track, record a few seconds, and then shift +
left arrow or shift + right arrow to load it on
to the Virtual Deck. This way you can double-
check your levels and adjust with the Gain
control.
Recordings can be loaded onto the Decks,
renamed, and managed like other files.
Recordings are saved as 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo
AIFF files by default.
Recordings are saved in “My Documents\
My Music\_Serato_\Recording” in Windows
XP, “Libraries\Music\_Serato_\Recording” in
Windows 7, and “~/Music/_Serato_/Recording
Temp” on a Mac.
RECORD GAIN kNOB
Adjust the record level using this Gain knob. The
meter reveals the level of your audio. Ideally the
meter should sit just below the red, meaning your
signal is as loud as it can be without clipping.
NOTE: If you turn the record Gain knob down
and the red clip led is still illuminated, the
signal is clipping the input of the Sixty-Eight.
If possible, turn down the level at your audio
source before it reaches the Sixty-Eight.
TIPS
• The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns recording
on and off.
• Load a recording without saving it using the
shortcut keys shift left arrow to the Left Deck
or shift right arrow to the Right Deck.
NOTE: Recording files are automatically split
when the recording exceeds 3 hours (16-bit)
or 1 hour 50 minutes (24-bit).

SAMPLING FROM VINyL
You can use the Sixty-Eight to sample from vinyl
or any other sound source. Click the
triangle
next to the record button to select the pre-fader
signal your source is connected to.
LIVEFEED
LiveFeed allows you to stream a USB record
channel from the Sixty-Eight to a Virtual Deck.
This includes any Phono/Line/S/PDIF input,
either Mic, FlexFx Insert or the Mix. You can
then instantly play the recording back just like a
normal audio file — you can scratch it, speed it
up, slow it down, set loops and set cue points.
There are two recording options, Normal and
Gated. The Normal option means recording will
begin as soon as the Deck starts playing. The
Gated option means recording will only begin
once the input source exceeds the set gate level
(thus avoiding periods of silence). You can set
the gate level by clicking the dropdown menu in
the LiveFeed filename. The lower the gain setting
the more sensitive the gate is.
The amount of time available to record is
determined by your audio cache setting. The
track overview display shows the amount of
usable audio you have to play with from the
recording. Click anywhere in the track overview
display to jump to your desired position in the
recording.
