Topic: Purpose of Timecode CD's?!

由于该帖子已年深日久,可能包含陈旧过时或描述错误的信息。

Hey VDJ Users,

I have posted some forums about if I can use my Numark NDX400 to connect to software.
Repliers have said No and that I need a 4 in and 4 out sound card like the Maya 44.
And timecode CD's.
What do these do? How can I get one? Cost? Anything else about them?

Thanks

you use them to allow you to control the software with your regular cdj's. they act as a control tone. when you turn the jogwheel, it creates a break in the tone which is registered by the software and is converted into an action. such as stop, play, back and forward scratches etc...

this gives you the ability to play mp3 within vdj yet control them with your external cdj's.

no more cases full of cd's and still use vdj to its full potential.

hope this helps
 

Yep your pretty much bang on Blu.
The Timecode is just that. Its a signal which can be played by your CD unit and then read by the software. The software uses this code as a syncronising signal. Any CD player can use tmecode and if you change pitch,stop or spinback this changes the playback rate of the code so that the software can adjust the sound file you are playing and emulate what youre doing with the deck.
There is a list of required hardware needed to do this. To find out what you need take a look at the WIKI.

You will need individual STEREO in and out for EACH deck you intend to use. You will also need to purchase the Pro version of VDJ if you intend to play with timecode for more than 10 minutes. It is also important to note that most newer CDJ's, the NDX400 included, will have a master tempo option built in. This feature will need to be turned off in order for the timecode tone signal to be read by VDJ properly.

I believe that once you get a pro license, you can download the timecode files and burn them to discs. On a related note, read the label on the blank cd's. I had a stack that were made with organic materials. I burned several copies and each one had a little different sound. I splurged for some high end gold discs and they work much better. They sound much more consistent.
 

you can download the timecode cd signal without a pro license mate. i did it before i had my LE license....even though i didnt have cdj's....no idea why though. it just made me feel more prepared.
