If the vinyl is spinning like normal- what happens when it runs out?
Do you just have to keep restarting it from the beginning?
I know it works on white noise or something and it converts the mp3 signal to analog or something like that. |

The vinyl contains some sort of time code. The software locks to that time code. Through phase difference, the program can see if the vinyl is spinning forward or backward and at what speed. Because the record is finite, you have a limit on the length of the tunes (first versions was about 12 minutes, don't know if that has changed since then).
Final scratch uses an absolute time code. If you lift the needle and place it further on the record, the tune will jump to x minutes further (like a real record).
Other systems like D-vinyl only use movement detection. You can control the pitch and direction of the sound (so beatmatching and scratching is possible), but the record doesn't contain any time information on itself. You can place the needle anywhere on the record and start the tune from the start. The vinyls of D-vinyl also have an infinite ending groove (it loops continuously) so you can play tunes of virtually any length. Both systems have their good points and flaws. |

Wow- I didnt know it was time sensitive- now im impressed.
If you play a tune out more than 12 minutes I think some people will get quite bored! lol

"Until you find someone playing Cafe del Mar on CD-R or Final Scratch, than you can bash away."
Well, Josh Wink doesn't play Cafe Del Mar but he plays his entire sets on Final Scratch now. So go ahead and bash Josh Wink, he's only one of the best and most innovative dj's there are. If you people want to continue to be thickheaded and can't get over the fact that there is a new wave of dj'ing then so be it. |

Yup, beat ya :stongue:
The trouble with systems like FS is that it's a wonderful concept. Basically you don't need to carry heavy bags/cases of vinyl, just a laptop, two vinyls and the interface (imagine carrying 3000 records to a gig, good luck). But it came at a bad time. The discussions about downloading illegally are THE hot topic of the last years, and suddenly a system appears that allows to control the audio files with your turntables. RIAA and purists don't need much to say that because of that, sales will drop even more.
But it's a marvellous thing for honest people. They buy records, digitize them, and then they can play them virtually infinitely, without risking to wear out those rare records you busted your a$$ to find, with the same feeling as the real thing.
But yeah, I can imagine the temptation is big... |
