traktor vinyl

Will traktor ever make vinyl that doesnt squeal? like traktor vinyl version 2, there must be an easy fix for it.

 

I doubt it. With a turntable, you will always hear what's on the vinyl just by listening next to the needle. That's what your cartridge reads without it being amplified yet.

In the case of a timecode vinyl, it's a regular vinyl but with a constant frequency on it instead of a song. That squeal you hear is what is analysed in real time by traktor to determine the rotation speed (or pitch) of your timecode vinyl.

It's not caused by the vinyl itself. If there's any way to not hear that noise I guess it would be with a special cartridge, not with a redesigned timecode vinyl. Unless of course they find another way of determining the pitch, like by using a very high frequency that's not even audible by the human ear. I'm doubtful though since they have probably chosen this specific frequency for a reason, it's probably the most reliable.

 

It's the sound from the needle going through the air and into your ears.

So no, not really.

Turn the music up I'd say

 

I still think traktor vinyl is due an upgrade.

 

Well, its still the highest quality on the market so were they go from here, i don't know.
As for an easy fix. Theres nothing to actually fix. Timecode is just s series of stamps on are record and records make a noise.

To "fix" it they would have to do something totally different.

If theres a better way of doing it you can bet the N.I. will come up with it but for as long as the timecode is played on a conventional turntable with conventional cartridges there will be a "squeal" from the record.

 

It's what 2khz sounds like. An octave above Serato et al

You could muffle your deck with a pillow... although that could impede your mixing

 

This is what will probably be incorporated in traktor vinyl v2

 

yeah, traktor vinyl is def high pitch, but only noticeable when practicing at home. At the club its never really an issue.

 

Thats true, i live above a shop so when the shop is open i have to keep the noise down thats when its noticeable, when the shop is closed its not a problem.

 

@big lols... I imagine if making a DVS that is too high for human hearing was possible it would have been done by now. I'm guessing that as the turntable geared towards reproducing sounds that we can hear, it must be too unreliable at higher frequencies. Plus it would make dogs go mental.
