extremely basic question - from the old school...

hmmm interesting you mention that about the N4 as regards setting up timecoded vinyl - i grabbed this from the operating instructions on their website...
so it appears virtual dj is doable - however is this any good?

- have also seen couple of youtube vids of people using it with turntables, but it does indeed look a touch flimsy - need to find some more reviews.

"To setup both N4 decks for use with timecode (available only in VirtualDJ Pro):
1. Set the N4 rear panel USB IN REC/TIMECODE switch to ‘TIMECODE’.
2. Set the N4 front panel Source switches to “PC” to avoid hearing the timecode signal beeps.
3. Adjust the Line/Phono switch to the appropriate setting and send a timecode signal through N4 Inputs 3 and 4.
4. In VirtualDJ Pro, go to the Config menu and set the Sound Setup�� Inputs tab to “Timecodes”.
5. In Timecode Config, select a Vinyl preset that matches the timecode signal sources that you are sending
through the N4 inputs.
6. Adjust the settings for Line 1 and Line 2 to ensure Quality reaches 100% to control both decks."


sadly, father christmas didn't bring anything from Numark, Traktor or Pioneer this time round, so i guess i shall be saving up the pennies...

cheers

It will work for VDJ and Torq and all the other software, just not SSL and Traktor Scratch as NI and Serato have silly hardware restrictions.
