Talk:Vinyl emulation

message: Are there any GNU / Free Software alternatives? I could have some fun with that. As a portable application it would be even better ... --Nerd42 (talk) 20:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Xwax is all I know of, but it's still in very early development and I can't vouch for it (I'm using Traktor Scratch right now).  The original Final Scratch ran on Linux, sort of.  It had its own dedicated OS based on Red Hat if I recall correctly, and I think it was developed in BeOS. Djdannyq 15:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: whats the cheapest way to do this? are there any good articles about that on the internet anywhere that we could link to? --Nerd42 (talk) 19:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cheapest setup ? 

message: why do we need sources when all this is is an explanation of what the software does and a list of different programs? its like requiring a source for defining the word "potato"
:I propose tagging this article as 'fact' since it is an uncontroversial common definition.  At the same time, the external links need to be cleaned up and converted to internal article links.  Unless anyone thinks this is a problem, I'll go ahead and do that in the next day or so.  Djdannyq 15:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  sources??? 

message: other equipment may be DESIRABLE but it is POSSIBLE to just use a PC and a mouse. tha's what "emulation" means really - using completely different hardware to emulate something else. when you start adding on stuff, it stops being a turntable emulator and starts being an actual turntable.
:Vinyl interface might be a better title, but vinyl emulation seems to be what got chosen here, and I think it's valid.  The vinyl is emulated (or used to emulate, depending on how you interpret the phrase), but the turntable is real (I suppose you could file what you describe under turntable emulation).  The emulation part is the feeling of spinning traditional vinyl—music—when it's really just a time-code playing under the needle.Djdannyq 11:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I was going to add the fact that most if not all vinyl emulation software also works with timecoded CDs played in CDJs, but I don't have a specific source. It should be easy to find, but I'm not well versed in what qualifies as a good source so I didn't want to just grab one.--198.82.97.118 10:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timecode CDs 

message: Unless anyone objects, I'd like to change the intro to this article not to include beatmatching as something that requires a timecode vinyl setup. This is something that can certainly be done in a software-only environment, such as Traktor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Savethedave (talk • contribs) 12:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for this name and definition? Who first use the term "vinyl emulation software". I ask because the term is rather vague, and does not actually seem to be used in any authoritative context (especially when compared to "digital vinyl system"). --82.28.218.61 (talk) 23:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The image doesn't look like an analogue vinyl track, or anything that a needle can follow - what is it ?
