Scratch Live 2.5 Bug Fixes

Alongside these key features Scratch Live 2.5 also includes bug fixes to continue the unparalleled level of stability and performance that Serato software is known for.

Some examples of the bug fixes are:

Mixtape .als recordings now work with Ableton Live 9.
Fixed a bug where the beatgrid lock wasn't being saved and loaded to/from the file; it was only being saved to the database.
The Sixty-Eight record source is now correctly loaded from preferences.
Fixed a bug where the CDJ-350 was sending both MIDI and HID messages which meant it could possibly fire two different Scratch Live events at the same time.
Fixed a bug where the DJFX deck assignments wouldn't save to preferences if going from being 'on' initially, to 'off'.
