Control Vinyl
Virtual DJ kits are getting very popular, and it’s really no wonder. They give you more control, crisper sound, and allow you to remain mobile without having to lug boxes of vinyl records everywhere you go. Whether you’re in the studio or in the club, going digital can really help extend your musical capabilities and free up your creative ideas.
Of course, tactile feel is also a major part of the creative experience. It can be hard to stay in “the zone” when you’re pressing buttons at a keyboard. An ideal setup would allow you to take full advantage of the tools and capabilities offered by digital mixing, without sacrificing the organic tactile feel of vinyl.
This is something that DJ software and electronic hardware providers have struggled with. And in the process, they’ve developed some fairly elegant solutions that have been readily embraced by professionals and amateurs alike.
Control Vinyl is - by far - the most popular solution to this problem.
If you try playing a control vinyl on your turntable, you’ll only hear an odd, high-pitch noise. They aren’t meant to be played out loud like regular vinyl records. Instead, they’ve been encoded with sound patterns that can only be understood by mixing software.
When you plug your turntable into your PC, it will be able to interpret the signal from the control vinyl and apply your actions to another digital track on the system. A control vinyl interface allows you to mix digital music (like MP3, CDs, etc...) in much the same way as you would with standard vinyl records.
And these records also offer a number of personalization options. You can buy vinyl in a specific color, special limited edition or promotional pieces, printed records, and many other unique pieces.
Before you make a decision in buying a control vinyl, make sure that you check the package to ensure that it’s compatible with the mixing software on your computer. This will ensure that you don’t arrive at home with a record you can’t use.
PlayDeRecord stocks a fairly large selection of control vinyl records, and we go out of our way to maintain fair prices for our customers. Browse through our collection and select the one that suits you best.
Mixing digital music with vinyl gives you all of the high-tech benefits of digital composing, and allows you to maintain the feel and vibe of a “true” DJ experience.
