18 MIXING WITH THE NS7 PLAYING Y OUR FIRS T TRACK This section describes the basic steps to start playing tracks with the NS7 and Serato ITCH so you can start mixing. RESETTING THE MIXER It’s a good idea to set the NS 7 to the default settings befor e play ing.
19 EQUALIZATION Equalization (EQ) is used to b oost and cut specific frequencies. EQ is us ed to balance the soun d of 2 tracks that have been ma stered differently, to make a track sound “right” on your particular system, or for creative mi xing techniques.
20 Main Waveforms This view provides a close-up view of the track, including color-codin g to show the frequency of the sound; red r epresenting low-freque ncy bass sounds, green repr esenting mid-frequency sou nds and blue representing high-frequency treble s ounds.
21 DROPPING A TRACK IN The NS7’s PLATTERS are touch-sensitiv e. When a PLATTER’s motor is off, that PLATTER is in Nudge Mode (the SCRATCH OFF button should also be lit). In Nudg e Mode, moving the PLATTER backwards or forw ards will tempor a rily bend the speed of the tra ck faster or slower (respectively).
22 USING PITCH / TEMPO CONTROLS The following functions allow you to mani pulate the pitc h and speed of a track to aid the mixing process. P i t c h This number is the c urrent percentag e pitch difference from 0%. The amount by which you ca n increase or decr ease this interval w ill vary with the Pitch Range .
23 LOOPING Use the NS7’s LOOP CONTROLS area to create loops in your tracks. The bottom four L OOP CONTROL buttons have two modes. In Manual Mode, the MODE button is l it red, and the four buttons are IN, OUT, SELECT, and RELOOP. In Autoloop Mode, th e MODE button is lit white, and the four buttons c an create 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-beat loo ps.
24 RECORDING Serato ITCH can capture recordings of your Program Mix or MIC / AUX INPUT channel. Recording controls are gr ouped into a menu above Deck B in the software. To record: 3 4 1 2 4 5 5 1. In the software, click the Record Source Selector and se lect your source from the drop -dow n menu.
25 USING THE NS7 AS A SOUND CARD The NS7 is equipped with a USB port which allows you to play cont ent and control the Serato ITCH software using the NS 7.
26 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE Occasionally, there may be an available fir mware update for the NS7. If your computer is connected to the int ernet, Serato ITC H will automatically detect if you need to update it. Follo w these steps when you need to update your firmware: Note: Audio output will stop during a firmwar e update.
27 NS7 CALIBRATION If you load new firmware to the NS7, or if you ever experience probl ems with your knobs or faders (a very rare occurrence), the NS7 can be recalibrated.
28 6. Set all faders and knobs to the minimum or left-most position. T he PITCH FADERS should be at the top, which is their minimum. The left Deck’s HOT CUE BUTTON 1 will light up. 7. Press the lit left Deck’s HOT CUE BUTTON 1. It will flash twice.
29 10. Set all faders and knobs to the middle/cente r posit ion. The left Deck’s HOT CUE BUTTON 1 will light up. 11. Press the lit left Deck’s HOT CUE BUTTON 1. The left Deck’s HOT CUE BUTTONS 1-5 will flash, indicating that calibration is complete.
30 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION The USB cable is not pr operly connected to your computer or NS7. Make sure both USB connection s are secure. The software was opened before NS7 was connected. I'm seeing a “Hardware Disconnected” message in the software.
