Topic: Virtual Vinyl Time Codes

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi i was wondering if anyone is having a similar problem or could help me with the time codes, where at times it reads the vinyl good and have a perfect signal but recently virtual vinyl will not configure them and all get back is slow distorted music...i try to re position my tone arms, but it doesn't work. I clean the vinyl too and put them away when i don't use them, and i do not know if its my needles, which are pretty new and not used much or if i need to replace the time codes, which i've had for about 6 months and minimum use. I was also wondering if you can use Serato time codes instead of Virtual Vinyl and if so, how to configure them???

You can use Serato Vinyl. I do because I can buy it locally. You have to choose "Noisemap" just above the TimeCode Signal Box instead of the VDJ default. I had a similar problem and cured it by replacing the vinyl. 6 months of average use is what I am told is the life of the TCV. I'm new to this virtual stuff so I really don't know for sure. But I did replace my old Virtual Vinyl with new Serato Vinyl and it works with the proper fine with the proper settings.

I have same problem. I got 100% signal but re-position my tone arm, but it doesn't play where it should play. I use numark tcvs and my needels are about 1.5 years old, maybe someone can tell is this problem with my vinyls or I just have to change stylus.

I have a same problem as the original poster. I just posted my issue in the other tccd setup thread. I use serato interface, and i use both vdj and serato time codes, but what happens is after some time of playing, the sound becomes very distorted, in slow motion. I need to get this fixed QUICK!!! as i got gigs coming up.

1.5 years is a very period of use for styluses if you use them regularly. If you play gigs 1-2 times a week you should expect to replace your styluses about every 6-9 months to maintain best performance. (maybe even more often if you scratch a lot and/or use excessive tone-arm weight)
If your vinyls are the same age as the styluses you should definitely replace them.

Sometimes, professional CD-players have an excessive sound output, so you might want to try out the pro-version of the time-code.
It is the same time code quality as the original, but -13dB in volumel.
That might just help ;)

You might want to consider upgrading from version 4.3 r13. That is really getting old, and IF you are using a MAC it is really not a stable version.
Try bumping it up to version 6.0.2 and see if that helps ;)

Xmarek, you have been on here since March, and still aren't a licensed user. I would suggest buying a real copy of the software, I think you'll be happier with the performance :)

For those using CDJ's or Denon CD decks.. Use Virtual DJ CD-Old Engine(V4) which is the best one in VDJ 6.0.5. It works well and and scratching sounds good. Scratch away...
