Topic: Scratching volume level

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

When scratching a song that the gain is correctly set, I've noticed that the VU meters are full and the limiter light is flashing.

I reported this two weeks ago still waiting for an answer
 
Maybe with this example, you will understand why: increase the pitch of a deck until +100% and look at the limiter. Then do the same thing in the other way by decreasing the pitch.
Now what is finally a scratch ?

The answer is to set Pitch Quality in (advanced) options to 1, for a more natural scratch sound.
I would recommend this setting to scratch dj's,
(and the default value '2' for dj's that don't scratch and use the pitch slider in wide ranges with Master tempo on)
 
Thank you THAT FIXED IT !

Nope... increasing the pitch to 100% or down to nearly 0% caused the VU meters to drop slightly with the limiter light staying off.
 
@Scrinson - have you done this?

Yes. It does improve the situation but doesn't fix it. The VU meters still hit the top but the limiter no longer flashes. the volume of the scratching is significantly higher than when just playing the track whereas I think the volumes should be about the same.
