Custom Traktor Timecode?

Hi all,
So I was trawling t’interwebz last night to find some new slipmats and came across these: Chemical Ltd - Records | CDs | MP3s | Clothing | DJ Equipment

I think these are SICK and would love some for traktor. Screw neon timecode, I want patterns!

So, has anyone seen any of these kicking around for traktor? Does NI even let other people make timecode vinyl? If not, why not? Because I would definitely buy some DJTT branded ones :sunglasses:

The only ones I have seen are the q-Bert ts time codes, but I havent seen them foe sale. No patterns tho.

Seems like a missed opportunity to me. The speed at which the neons sold out here in the UK was incredible, its pretty much a guarantee that some pretty timecode like that would also sell out instantly.

Is it difficult to make vinyl like this? Does this process even create decent vinyl, or is the end result less than desirable?

Ive had a quick mooch around and I cant find any company in the UK that does this and the few companies ive found in america only sell in massive quantities. I dont need 500 timecodes :disappointed:

I don’t know if they’re as durable as regular vinyl, but I do love a good picture disk :smiley:

I have DJ Fresh’s Hypercaine as a picture vinyl and it looks sick on the TT!

Does anyone know if the timecode signal from vinyl is the same frequency as CD’s?
Would I be able to rip a cd and manufacture a working timecode vinyl with that sound?

6

Yup.

FYI: The NI timecode is copyrighted and, despite allowing the burning of timecode wavs to CD it is actually illegal to ‘press’ timecode vinyl.

Would NI mind..? Who knows, but i do know that an EDM artist, on he forum, asked if he could press his own timecode and he was told a flat NO, he couldnt.

Just passing on info. Not judging. Id be up for some personalised timecode if the opportunity arose and was legal.

i think Karlos wants custom TC with Gundam on both sides

Yes Please… Im half way to finishing the Gundamn robot :slight_smile:

Thanks for the knowledge Karlos, I was hoping you’d pipe up :wink:

Kinda sucks that its illegal, It’d be a lucrative little business opportunity. But I guess thats the point!

Lets pester NI and get them to come out with some sexy timecode :roll_eyes:

I dont see why NI couldnt work with a company that makes custom vinyl and allow people to upload pics and press timecode. Its not rocket science.

As you say it would be a money spinner for NI and the pressing company.

12

You could use the clear vinyl and have custom slipmats printed… i know its not the same but it beats standing around complianing that NI doesnt offer this kind of service.

I am actually riding a small pony right now.

shut up karlos… get on my horse

15

Love it… i love the Jazz Horse version. Weebl Rocks.

btw- that horse is far to tall for me to get on.

i kind of got around this by buying the clear traktor timecodes… so the see thru ones, and then getting really cool glow in the dark slipmatts with patterns from glowtronics… Before a club gig ill sit them under a light for a few hours, and the glow in the dark lasts for AAAGES and its pretty bright, so by the time i setup in the club, ill have my slipmatts still glowing through my clear timecodes… looks real cool in the dark especially when there spinning :stuck_out_tongue:

Slow Roast time codes anyone?
