Topic: Sticker Lock
Do we have a version of "Sticker Lock" like whats in SDJ??

Been working on my juggles (still very very bad at it) and I think this could help me in the long run.

Short answer = no.

Long answer = No VirtualDJ doesn't have it AFAIK. However, I (personally) think sticker lock is helpful, but I don't think sticker lock is required for juggling and learning juggling without sticker lock will make you a better juggler overall, especially if you juggle real vinyl (where a sample start could be anywhere rather than always 12 o'clock). It just means you'll have do the extra to align the record to your reference point before hitting a cue. Sticker lock really only helps to speed up the lineup to a cue imo, by eliminating the need to manually line up and press a cue point (i.e. it's trying to mimic a sticker point label on a real vinyl record (sample start always at a specific position), by implanting a kind of absolute mode lead-in to get a constant physical position for the cue).

Maybe they'll implement it one day 🍺
 

I'm not familiar with "sticker lock" function on SDJ, but from it's name perhaps you want to change autoDiscMarker setting ?

Unless this "sticker lock" is an automation, in which case would you mind to explain how it works / what it does ?
 

@PhantomDeejay a couple references (it's surprisingly not very easy to find in their own manual)

It basically works by using the NoiseMap control tone absolute time position, the time position of the cue point in question (normally the first but you can setup each track on the timecode record to work with a particular cue point, e.g. track 1 = cue point 1, etc) and current record playback speed to inject a lead in into the playback that would cause the cue in question to be hit at the 12 o'clock position. The benefit is it eliminates the need of manually moving the record to 12 yourself and then hitting the cue...you just drop the song and rotate the vinyl record to 12 on your actual turntable and you are then at your cuepoint, and this is very useful for juggling, where you need a base reference point to know each sample's reference point to pull back to, relative to the base point - if your base reference point always as a cuepoint, it basically fixes the base reference point to be 12 o'clock always.

From my understanding, autoDiscMarker is not that - it resets the marker on the skin/controllers with digital readouts like CDJs to 12 o'clock for a cuepoint, regardless of the actual timecode record position - you put your sticker on the timecode record itself at that position.

Note: Sticker lock probably only makes sense for timecode usage in Relative/Smart mode
