Long time DVS Serato user in the past, what would be the best Virtual DJ settings to get the same turntable feeling while beatmatching ? I see many pitch quality settings, scratch quality, .. and many other settings but can't figure out an overall config using turntable DVS (or HID on Rane Twelve MK2) that provides me the same beatmatching feeling I had (or sometimes still have) using Serato... Mainly the manual platter pitch bend action feels so different. I can't explain why :-/
Any good advise or config that can be shared ? :)
Thank you

When I was transitioning to VirtualDJ, I found I had the same problem with the scratch feel, especially with slow movements. I found these settings were helpful:
Please not that the timecode settings also affect Phase in DVS mode.
One thing you would also notice, if you use instant doubles in Sersto, is that VirtualDJ clones the pitch slider value too, creating a skew of the pitch range that doesn't match the turntable pitch setting. In that case, you'll want to use the tmecode_reset_pitch vdjscript verb (either assign it to a custom button or change the mapping on your controller to add a & timecode_pitch_reset to the action (this also works with phsse in HID mode).
Also, since you are coming from Serato, watch and implement the things you see in this video
- scrarchFilterQuality = 30 (or the max it can go based on your CPU settings)
- pitchFilterQuality = 4
- rampScratchTime = 0
This one was the most important one to change for me...it was set to 0.1 as the default and made very slow scratch movements harder to do (it was performing some sort of movent smoothing function) - timecodeSilence = 0.1
This one is important for DVS, as it controls just how sensistive VirtualDJ is to the sound it is meant to interpret (by default it is set at 0.2)
You can probably try setting it lower, but don't set it too low because then you'll probably get drift (e.g. your hand hitting the record might move the track before you actually start to manipulate it) - timecodePitchSliderIgnoreBend = yes
Also DVS specific...with this, the software takes a bit more time to display the pitch reading on the skin, making it look more stable (more resembling Serato's pitch readout)
