Hi all
In this tutorial we will teach to configure a time code vinyl with
Traktor Scratch Pro, version 2, using our Hercules RMX controller
The first thing to do is connect your turntable to the line input of the Hercules RMX
In our case, we have connected the turntable in lines 3 and 4
The second step is to ensure that the line is in the correct value.
select "PHONO" when input is analog. as turntable or microphone
select "LINE" when input is digital. for example a CD Player
The third step is to put the time code vinyl on our turntable and start playing
The fourth step is to go to the control panel of the Hercules RMX
We must ensure that in the "Advanced" tab, is selected "USB streaming 1-2 (default)"
The fifth step is indicate to Traktor Scratch Pro,
which Deck must be controlled by the turntable
Open the configuration panel of Traktor Scratch Pro
On the left, select the menu "Input Routing"
On the right, select "Input 3 and 4" for Deck B
These values match with "input 3 and 4" pre-connected in the Hercules RMX
The sixth step is to display the waveform for the timecode vinyl
Open the configuration panel of Traktor Scratch Pro
On the left, select the menu "Decks"
On the right, under "Platter / Scope" select "scope" on Deck B
Immediately on Deck B, will appear the waveform for time coded vinyl
When the waveform is not circular, it is necessary to check the vinyl
or the turntable needle. probably there is dust on the vinyl and needs cleaning
The seventh step is to calibrate the time code vinyl
to calibrate the vinyl, click on "Calibrate" button
When vinyl is properly calibrated , you can observe a circular shaped wave
The eighth step is to activate the relative mode to control the time coded vinyl
On the "B" label, click and select "Scratch Control"
Immediately we see two new icons on Deck
click on "relative mode" button
When selecting "relative mode", the song is played
in the same place where the needle on the vinyl
If the needle is at the beginning of the vinyl, the song starts playing from the beginning
If the needle moves to the end of the vinyl,
it instantly starts playing the end of the song
That's it. Now you can control a song in Traktor Scratch Pro with a time-coded vinyl
I hope this tutorial has helped you
