How to Troubleshoot ITCH 4.0

ITCH 4.0, a DJ program used in conjunction with the Scratch DJ hardware, integrates the music on your computer. Since the program uses a large amount of CPU to complete processes, it may suffer from the occasional glitch such as crashing or failure to read the USB-connected DJ hardware. ITCH is available from Serato, a company that creates a variety of DJ-related software. You can download the ITCH software from the official Serato website.
