Our member Angel Burgos writes: “Decided to take my Technics 1200s out of their boxes again! Long time fan of vinyl and would like to transition to digital. Would like to continue using my turntables and mixer to get accustomed to using DJ software. I got Mixvibes Cross DVS with the software and timecode vinyls from a friend, but I know I need a sound card, and would like one that won’t break the bank (around US$100). Any recommendations?”
Digital DJ Tips says:
As you already have software and timecode vinyl, you don’t need to spend much here. You need a sound card (“audio interface” to give it its posh name) with at least “4-in 4-out”: That means four separate inputs (i.e. two stereo inputs) and four separate outputs (ie two stereo outputs). that lets you plug your two turntables into it, and it into your mixer.
They’re actually surprisingly hard to find nowadays on a budget as most are designed for musicians and have guitar and microphone inputs and other stuff DJs don’t really need; however, you can get on Google and search for Mixvibes’ own U-Mix44 (now discontinued, but still out there) and others such as the ESI Maya44, Electrix EBOX44, or DJ Tech Soundbox Pro. Again, these can be hard to find but they are out there, and all will do the job.
General advice on buying DVS
Mixvibes Vinyl With Traktor Windows
So what if you are thinking of doing this and don’t have anything yet? Well, in that case, Mixvibes is a good choice: Mixvibes DVS – software and timecode vinyl/CD image – plus one of the audio interfaces listed above should come in at around $250, all-in.
But if you want to use another system, Traktor is very popular and you can buy the Traktor Scratch A6 pack that has everything you need in it (audio interface, timecode vinyl/CDs and software) for US$299: for Serato DJ,the same price will land you the new Denon DS1, which also has all you need to get going. Of the other big names, Virtual DJ software works with any timecode vinyl and suitable sound card you can get your hands on, although the software itself is expensive to buy at US$299 on its own (you can get a cut-down version of the software along with Virtual DJ’s own timecode vinyl for $99 apparently, to at least get started).
Finally, don’t discount end-of-line: There are some bargain Serato Scratch packages out there right now (Serato Scratch Live was the previous “version” of Serato’s DJ software; it’s now called Serato DJ, but you can get the new software free if you own the old, so no worries there). Or you could go secondhand; just make sure you get the software licence of the system you buy if you do.

A close-up of a time-coded vinyl record
Vinyl emulation software allows the user to physically manipulate the playback of digital audio files on a computer using the turntables as an interface, thus preserving the hands-on control and feel of DJing with vinyl. This has the added advantage of using turntables to play back audio recordings not available in phonograph form. This method allows DJs to scratch, beatmatch, and perform other turntablism that would be impossible with a conventional keyboard-and-mouse computer interface or less tactile control devices. The technology is also mainly referred to as DVS for Digital Vinyl System.
Overview[edit]
Vinyl emulation normally uses special vinyl records which are played on conventional turntables. The vinyl is a recording of analog audio signals often referred to as timecode. The turntables' audio output - the timecode recording - is routed into an analog-to-digital converter, or ADC. This ADC may be a multi-channelsoundcard or a dedicated external USB or firewire audio interface box, DJ controller device or compatible mixer (usually distributed with the software). The ADC sends digital time code information to the software, which then translates the signal into corresponding changes in the playback speed, direction and position of a digital audio file. The audio file will react as if were pressed directly onto the record. The manipulated audio output of the program is then sent back through the DAC or the computer's sound card, and can be routed into an audio mixer where it can be mixed like any other analog audio signal.
The result is digital audio playback that sounds like music manipulated by an analog vinyl recording. However, there is always a short delay between the needle's reading of the time code and the software's playback of the audio. The delay time is treated as a figure of merit for vinyl emulation products. A shorter delay allows the DJ to have better response and control of the music and is usually not noticeable by the user or listener.
In some countries, for example Finland, a digital DJ license is required to legally play copyrighted music with vinyl emulation software.
Software packages[edit]
https://powerfulpush.weebly.com/ableton-quit-unexpectedly-mac-when-trying-to-open-file.html. Final Scratch was the first vinyl emulation software sold publicly. Since its release in 2001, many similar software and hardware packages have been developed and marketed.
