Sliding a timecode CD into a state-of-the-art CDJ-2000 will mean a number of limitations on functionality a CDJ offers. A big issue here is that any ‘smart’ functions of the CD deck when it comes to looking at the audio file, such as BPM detection, auto looping, and so on, won’t work – and functions that mess with the audio too much, like micro looping, will make the DVS think the signal is lost and either stop the audio or transfer playback to internal mode and start playing as normal. We’ve covered timecode in the past – check out this article for more. The user still has the ability to use a record, meaning that their analogue sound source now transmits audio that can be interpreted by a software system into digital information extremely transparently from the user’s perspective. If the common use for DVS is a user who wants to get the advantages of a computer based digital library but retain the control that they have from their existing decks, timecode/noisemap are the kings of digital vinyl. Timecode systems (or indeed Serato’s comparable NoiseMap system) are great for reading location and position information on a deck. Which is better and why? That is the deep read for today. You also have two ways of connecting the hardware with your computer via HID (digital over USB) or through timecode (audio signal over RCA). If you are using Serato Scratch or Traktor Scratch, then you have the choice of controlling the software with these two hardware controllers adapted into the digital age.
