Mixvibes Control Vinyl

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.

Oct 26, 2017  I need your help with setting up vinyl control in Cross mixvibes. I've got everything connected (2 turntables and a xone23C mixer which I already configurated for DVS). The software is properly installed and music is playing through the DJ software, but I can't figure how to conrol the tracks with the turntables and the mixvibes timecode vinyls. Buy control vinyl from Torq, Mixvibes, Native Instruments Traktor Scratch, Numark, Serato, Reloop and Stanton. Guaranteed in stock for same day despatch.

Where is the ableton vst folder on mac. Furthermore, I'm a bit confused between the VST folder I mentioned above and the one found in the User's Home directory (ie: from the finder- 'your name'/library/audio/plugins/vst/.)When looking into the VST plugin browser in Live, under the actual VST folder there is a sub-folder called 'local' and another called 'user', yet both of them contain VST plugs. All I want is to understand the difference between these different VST locations and why some plugins dont' show up at all in Live when they're clearly there in one of these folders (I did try changing their location but in vain).Thanks for any help. I downloaded the demo version of the PSP MixPack and for some odd reason, they don't show up in Live, yet they are in the correct folder (or so I assume): Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST.All the plugs are there but not in Live.

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.
