Scratch With Timecode In Any DAW
The birth of the first DVS program started back when producers needed a solution to manipulate a vinyl record as if it were part of their DAW system. The roots of Serato actually go as far back as Pro Tools, when some clever programmers figured out how to create a basic timecoded sample that could be recognized in their computer systems. Today, timecode is so common that one does not really need to have a full blown DVS system in order to make use controlled music that is manipulated live. The truth is that if a person wanted the effect of playing with vinyl using their DAW, there are better ways to use it than trying to use a DVS. Still, there are those who are always looking for better ways to manipulate audio. One of the biggest complaints of any DVS is that there are few routing options that allow it to be sent to other programs, without having to use one with built in options. Workarounds are quite common – but people are tired of trying to tweak and hack their computers to get this done. Scratch Track is a VST that can be ran through a program like Ableton – and this allows producers to simulate a DVS without the hardware. http://www.djtechtools.com/2013/08/08/scratch-track-scratch-with-timecode-in-any-daw/
