This way, changes in pitch are recognized, but also the direction in which it is turned. The latency, or delay, is virtually nil with this technique. Result: digital audio playback.
So you can run with digital audio and use digital libraries that you have on your laptop — no need to carry around heavy record bags or thick CD folders. From experience, the DVS software is straightforward to use. Simply drag and drop tracks onto each turntable visually displayed on the software, cue up your tune, grab a beat, and enter the mix. As mentioned, within a DVS system, there is always a need for a device that can convert the time code signal into computer data that can be understood by your DJ software.
You have roughly three options:. Buying a DVS mixer is the most recent solution and, therefore, also the easiest. You keep your old set of turntables or CDJs, only replace the mixer, and just connect everything in the same way as it always did.
DVS mixer is a mixer that translates change in pitch to deliver digital tunes with the feel of analogue. Many of these DVS compatible mixers also come bundled with the necessary software and some even with timecode vinyl. This allows you to get started right away without too much hassle with connecting. Does this option also have disadvantages?
Not really! You are less mobile: two turntables and a mixer are not really easy to get from A to B. I only see that not really as a disadvantage, but more as a choice that you consciously make or not.
This is the ideal choice if you have two turntables left, are in the market for a set, or if your mixer can use an upgrade. Especially at home, this is simply the ideal choice! This allows you to transform almost all conventional systems into a DVS system.
Besides, you can just keep what you are used to: you only add the interface. Connecting is not difficult, either. So you have the complete package to get started. Does it also have disadvantages? This means that mixers contain built-in USB compatible sound cards, super easy to plug and play with Serato DJ for example.
Tip : set different song cues on the DJ software and link those cues to different effects pads to have some fun playing around with the sound. As mentioned above, this Pioneer mixer to me looks like an adaptation of a previous model of mixer enhanced for DVS compatibility.
The price for this model appears to be a lot cheaper than the DJM-S9. A company called Phase have released an absolutely amazing bit of DVS technology. When I first saw this technology I was genuinely excited and gobsmacked. Phase works by wireless turntable controllers that look like small remotes that sit on each turntable.
Phase offer two packages, one type with 2 channel controllers and another with 4 channels controllers. The phase technology works by one receiver that plugs into the laptop via USB, and wirelessly connects to the remotes that sit on the turntables.
Magnetic strips are required to stick to each record vinyl to allow the remotes to be stuck to them. In doing so gives greater stability when using the record vinyls for scratching etc. Serato is a software company. It is possible to use turntables with Serato DJ. Turntables compatible with special time-coded record vinyls and CDs. If you're getting back into DJing with record vinyls or keen to get started DJing vinyls, then you're in the right place.
When broken down into simple parts the DJ mixer is quite easy to understand. In this 'how to' Pros: DJ controllers give you the flexibility to DJ using the controller itself, or with a pair of decks. Assuming you have a set of turntables or DJ CD players, you are now covered to play any format you like.
Cons: Takes up more significantly more space than a mixer, and then you will also need to find room for your turntables or DJ CD players on either side. Pros: DVS-enabled mixers are very simple to set up, and quite often the more expensive models will come bundled with the necessary software licences. Cons: Two turntables and a mixer is a heavy and bulky load to be moving around if you are a club or mobile DJ. So, now you know everything you need to get started with DVS. Naturally, which type of DVS you decide on will depend on your own set-up needs and budget.
It can be an expensive addition, but if you can justify the expense, an extra dimension of your DJ capabilities is unlocked. Would you like to try a DVS? Have you ever used one? What do you think are the positives and negatives this type of DJ set-up?
