Time Coded Vinyl

Can i use the Final Scratch vinyl on Virtual DJ?

i was thinking couse the timecoded vinyl is going to cost a good cost here in america if i order it.

No it will not work.

how so? is there somekind of code that prevents it being used with other programs?

Yes, simply put.

They're different systems, and since there's no standard for timecoded vinyl they're both made in different ways and incompatible with each other. It's not so much a restriction that the companies put there explicitly(ie they didn't decide "lets make sure this product can't be used without our software"), as much as just different companies having different competing products. It's more like Toyota parts being incompadible with Honda parts rather than a software company making a closed format that no 3rd parties can read(er...best analogy I could think of right now.) There is a program out there that can recognize both types of timecoded vinyl, however:

I've tested that! It works but it's like you have the pitch set to + 10 or something like that, and you cannot do needle drops.So I think it's not a good idea.
but djdecks is really good !! really !
