Tema: Which Serato Timecode vinyls do i buy?

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Ok guys im looking at getting some timecode vinyls to finish of my set up but i have noticed there is 3 different kinds to choose from.
Could someone please show me the way as i dont no which ones to choose.

1. Serato scratch live (black)

2. Serato scratch rane live (red)

3. Serato scratch rane live (blue)

Could i buy 1 blue and 1 red so that i could have one on either deck to match the colours within vdj.

Don't quote me on this but I don't think it matters which one you use. Can anyone corroborate this?

It doesn't matter what colour vinyl you buy, just as long you buy the 2nd gen (CV02) vinyl's you will be just fine.

I have all three colours and I can confirm that they're all fine.

Just ordered A red & a blue, should get them Tuesday.

Will lock myself in a room for the rest of the day with my Technics 1210s and VDJ :-)

For the record (pun intended), the Serato timecodes are way better than the VirtualVinyl timecodes. I had the following problems with VV timecodes:

-fluctuating timecode % signal quality (I spent so much time checking cables, needles and settings within VV thinking it was everything BUT the timecodes).
-I had 6 VV timecodes and all of them were ever so slightly warped (convex). For example, when you used them with the red label facing up they were ok, but when you used them with the blue label facing up they were way too 'slippy' so when you released the record it wouldn't catch on the slipmat properly and it would take a half a second to get going.
-They had to be specially ordered and were more expensive (you can by Serato timecodes everywhere).
-I don't know if it was just my imagination but they seemed to collect dust more quickly. It seemed like I was having to brush a big ball of lint off the needles and clean the vinyls more often than with the Serato timecodes.
-Backspins with VV timecodes were not smooth. The song would stutter when doing a backspin.
-Scratching with Serato timecodes is much more accurate (less sticker drift).
-Overall playback is more reliable. I was finding with VV timecodes I would often get little hiccups here and there when playing a track so most of the time I would have to switch over to 'internal' mode after starting a track. Now that I'm using Serato timecodes I feel confident to leave VV in vinyl mode.
-Serato timecodes come in different colours!

All of that said, I give kudos to Atomix for implementing the ability to use a competitor's timecodes because now I have the option to use better quality timecodes and all of the problems listed above have been pretty much eliminated. The end result is I can spend less time worrying about little quirks and more time concentrating on the music. The one thing I miss though is that the graphic on the VV timecode label matched the roatating LED display on my TTXs and the virtual jog wheel on my VV skin :(

actuallly there are no problem what ever color of timecoded vynil for serato you want to use! it all works the same and only the difference is the color. but you should buy the second edition one and not the first edition since it have playlist scrolling!

i have a serato time coded vinyl also and i really like the accuracy of serato's control vinyl! i like scratching and forever i will be a turntablist same as you! and as you said i would like to thank atomix for allowing other timecoded hardwares to be used on their software. thats why i like all the people here in vdj because they are open for all

Just to let users know, there are newer version of Serato TCV. The newer ones are more transparent and thinner.

Sorry for posting on an old topic but can some of you please indicate what settings you have specified (with screenshots if possible) for timecodes including debug info and performance settings and ASIO settings in order to get VDJ working with the CV02 records? I receive a 100% signal (with slight fluctuations) and can track the mp3 quite well as it plays but I notice that halfway through a song the pitch slider in the software starts gradually increasing - what can be the cause of this? Thanks for your help..

Thanks again Huey - I thought you were championing the Numarks over the CV02s in another discussion but how and ever I'll try again to see if I can make them work.. Cheers.
 

Mensajes Thu 03 Nov 11 @ 3:48 pm
And I still say the Numarks track better, lol, but I posted my settings for perfect working Serato vinyl since everyone here uses them.

Enjoy and holla at me in the other thread if you need anything
Huey
