Topic: Does Serato work with VDJ Software? - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

I'm sure this question has been asked before but after checking a few topics, I didn't find the answer to my question.

If a user has a Serato box with Serato control vinyl will the user have the option of using VDJ rather than the crappy Serato software?

If so, what version of VDJ supports this?

yes, you can use the Serato box with VDJ.

Think the support for it started about a year ago, so the current version support it yes

Your SSL vinyls can also be used, with a plugin (VDJ support any timecode)
 
What is the name of the Plug-In?

What about using Virtual Vinyl timecoded records with a Serato box? Will that work?
 
have to be a registered user for plugin's skins etc. ;-)
 
this is good to know :) that means i can sell my crappy torq vinly with torq and get vdj and just go to the guitar center

and pick those records up man this makes me even happyer
 
Numark Virtual Vinyls will work with the sll one box with vdj pro yes , you can pick them up at alot of dj retailers.
 
I have CUE LE 5 which came with the Numark Total Control I bought.

Can timecoded vinyl work with this version of Cue?
 
yes for a limited period of 5 minutes

if you want full access to time-codes you need to purchase VDJ pro or the Full Cue
 
Is this only supported in version 5?
 
so let me make shure before i do this (cuse it looks like its better if i just buy vdj st8 from u guys

i think i will download it when i have the cash it works with ssl vinyl ?
 
Yes it does work with SSL Vinyl.

Looking forward to seeing you as a Pro user :).
 
sure does ;-)
 


no, it does not yet...!

To be precise here:
- Virtual DJ works 100% with the SL-1 box (Serato soundcard)

The control vinyls does not work truly as is, but since VDJ and SSL uses pretty close timecode signals, it will work somehow as is, but with 6% pitch offset, and no needle drop.

From v5.0 of VDJ, we added an "open source" platform for timecode, meaning that ANY timecode can be supported 100% inside VDJ, by using a user made plugin. There is no such plugin released yet, but one for miss pinky and one for ssl vinyls have been tested by users, and works good. Still beta though (as far as I know not relesed yet, but will be shortly).

But, the Numark Virtual Vinyl vinyls will work 100% as they are identical to VDJs own timecode vinyls.

 
Investing in Numark/VDJ Vinyls will always be a better solution anyhow, and not a great price to pay for what you're getting.
 
I am a software developer. How can I get involved in time-code vinyl tracking plug-in development? Where can I acquire a copy of and documentation for this open-source time-code platform? I see no mention of it anywhere.
 
can i conect mk2 to my sl (serato sound card) , how? i want use mk2 like mixer.
 
The mk2 isn't a hardware mixer it only functions when connected to your pc and VDJ.

Please don't say that it will be released "shortly" Norway, because that is the most misused word on these forums. "Shortly" has been used about this plugin since before release of v5, shortly was used about v5 a LONG time before it was released, the same goes for v4, mac version and mac version v5. Just say it is in developement, please... and no timers please :-)

 
ok so if i goto a club that has a serato sound card i will still be able to use vdj and the vdj timecodes whether its vinyl or cd? is there n e diifference in sound?
 
Correct , its just a simple setup process in VDJ but you will need to have sll installed on your machine and run this first to enable the card.
