The loops or rolls don’t work on my Novation Dicer with Serato Scratch Live.
You need to analyze the BPM of the track before you can use the looping features of Scratch Live. In general, this is required for any looping features for Serato. You can analyze BPM in one of two ways:
1. Automatically
Run Scratch Live *without* the Rane hardware interface connected. You will see a button labelled ‘Analyze Files’. Make sure ‘set auto BPM’ is enabled. You can then press the ‘Analyze Files’ button and leave it chugging away on your entire music library. This can take a while depending on how many tracks you have in your library.
2. Manually
To manually set BPM for a single track during normal use, click on the TAP button on the deck section and tap out the tempo of the track. You can do this with or without your Rane Scratch Live hardware connected. Once a BPM number appears, the BPM is then set for the track.
