Is the SCS.1 already boundled vith VDJ?
Does the custom skin already exist for it?
Is it possible to "strech" it to 3 display? (one for each deck +1 for the mixer/browse songs)
Is it usable to get one of the deck be only A/B the other is only C/D (or swap) when I browse the decks?

There are NO news about the boundle or the re-launch of these wonderful units.

Not at present as far as I can tell, but this could change in the future if the manufacturer decides that they want to do this.

No, having checked our download pages, there are currently no official skins or user created ones available at the moment. However, as above, a skin matching the controller is not needed to be able to use it. In fact, it's pointless except for familiarity if you have the real controller.

Yes, if you either create or use a skin that has been designed to do this. A few advanced touch screen users have done this.

Most single deck controllers usually have a button that can be used to toggle them between each of the available decks (EJECT in most cases, but in the full Pro, this can easily be changed if you wish.)
 
The SCS.1 things are late, Stanton says it should be happen when the version 8 comes.
No support from the manufacturer more than 2 years now.

I get the custom skin (it was available on the VDJ site for a short time), but it have some issues.

I can't use the left side controller dedicated for C/A and the right unit dedicated for B/D channels.
Every time I try to swich between them it browses through the entire ABCD options.

Also the volume level meters are not accurate. I got to idea what makes this error.

How can I add text to the CUE places/buttons (been displayed on the SCS.1 units)?
Those LCD strips could be interactive, so every song could have 4 cue point named as I wish (and not like cue 1, cue 2, ect only)

Please tell me if it worth to wait for any update, or sell these SCS.1 units and go for the new Numark NS7 II ?
Does the Numarks changes the platter speed as I adjust it?

Does the Numarks are better in resolution?
Aking, since cstoll wrote on the second page, 'it is not the entire story' about the 4000 tick/rotation that the SCS.1d offers, and Numark says they have 'the highest resolution' 3600 tick/rotation, so there must be something that is not advertised.

Numark looks promising (build quality, size, touch sensitive effects ect) but I don't know what issues appeard with the original NS7 and if those had been corrected for the new version?

Any non-confidental information is welcome :)
 
If you use paid for, up to date and legitimate software that might help. Crack version software isn't known for its reliability.

THX, but I only make testings with VDJ.
Since I will start to use any kind of controller only in the next year, I will wait to make my decision about the software.
I collected a bunch of SCS.1 units for really cheap (the cheapest was 10 USD on ebay)

But they are in their original box and waiting for the time to come, but now it looks like the NS7 mk2 might be better option for the next couple of years.
Stanton does not behaves with their 'flagship' controllers as they should. No update, no nothing.

But Numark looks really good in build quality, design, price (in Europe), and support. But it have 7" platters only and no motorised fader. Also I don't know the common errors with the previous NS7 or with the upcoming mk2.

There must be something with the resolution also. The 4000 signal made in 2008 is lower than the 3600 tick in 2013 ?
What is the main difference between these units?
Which have the best resolution?
Time-Code, or SCS.1d, NS7 II or something else?


Is there any other method than 'Soft-Take-Over' if I switch decks?
How does the pitch stuff working with any controller that does NOT have motorised fader?
Will be there any new controller that have motorised fader or double fader like the Otus Raw?

We have had these conversations before and you consistently refuse to accept certain realities. It is clear you continue to look for the 'perfect' controller - which you will never find. Everything you ask is a 'hardware' level issue. Atomix Productions (VirtualDJ) does not make hardware - we make software. Your technical design questions about hardware would be better served if asked at the specific hardware company sites.

As for your :

You have been 'testing' and 'using' VirtualDJ for almost 2+ years now. I think you have made your decision. It would be best if you start supporting your choice.
 
Durring the last year I was digitalize my Vinyl collection.
Since I had a nice amount it took me long months to make it,
Than edit the songs, name them, categorize them.
It is not easy specially if u have a family and a job also.
So my units are sitting on the basement, and wait to the time to come.

If I can see that the different companies are working together and it is possible to find a solution that can replace vinyl, I will jump into the controller + PC + digital stuff.
If this not comes and I can't modify any gear to serve my needs, I won't

Easy! I was looking for this from the late 90's. When Mixvibes came out first. Then Final Scratch and the others. I was waited for almost 15 years.
There is nothing to hurry after all this waiting. :)

U have demo versions, others also. Limited time, butt 100% functioning. If that does not work good, the rest will not work also.

As long as I have the vinyls, I will not jump into the digital era, if I can sell them on a decent price, than I do.

But still looks, I will buy VDJ if the time comes.
If other company will give the same flexibility and useability, than I will have to make a hard decision.
Now it is not a question, since all the other softwares are miles behind VDJ. (no dmx, ReWire, video, custom skin, 99 decks, ect,ect)
 
...a hard decision between which pirated software you will use?

Sorry, I know this is an old thread... I found it as I was looking for info on the Stanton scs.1d... but this stuff gets to me.

The logic this guy uses concerning 'I want to make sure it is the perfect software for me before buying it', he apparently didn't need when purchasing his Stanton scs.1d which cost him more than this software, or when he purchased his mixer, or all his other gear. I'm pretty sure the store didn't let him take any of that gear home for 2 years to play around with it before deciding whether he wanted to purchase it... to make sure it was the perfect midi controller or mixer for him... Can you even imagine that request? LOL

What's even more amazing, is he had the balls to ask for support for a product he obviously has no plans to purchase. You know when you are driving down the freeway, and they are closing a lane ahead, so you get stuck in the open lane behind 80 cars, and then that truck comes barreling down the lane that is closed off ahead, just expecting someone to let him in up there, ahead of all of us waiting our turn? I think that truck needs to wait forever to get let in... and I think people coming in here asking for support using pirated software can wait till they have a license.

and you know he's not borrowing his friend's copy... cause for one, it most likely didn't come on a "disk", and for two, he'd be asking his questions through his friends registered account.

Apparently he still hasn't "decided"

I also find it funny that he is still deciding whether to switch to digital, yet he has spent "months" converting his vinyl to mp3's... that sounds like a job you do when you have "decided". and I have a wife and family, and a day job as well buddy, so do a bunch of people here...

Here I was excited for a moment, and was going to ask a question.

Anyway. I think it is fair to say that most people will end up buying the software, eventually if they are gigging.

If not what ever.. regardless good karma goes a long way... even to someone who is using bad karma..
 
I wonder if he is using the hacked version that secretly installs that virus that will record all of his keys and send it secretly in an email to the virus creator! Or what about that version that (for still some unexplained reason) simply starts deleting half of all of your hard drives connected at that specific time? That happened to this one guy I know... wanted to become a DJ, downloaded some torrent of virtual dj, next thing you know 2/3 of his library was deleted (every song he played in his hacked version of virtual dj in fact) along with his dropbox, facebook, and email login. Sometimes buying software simply makes more sense... smh
 
Since I do not DJ at all in the past 5 years or so, I can't afford to buy anything.
I bought the SCS.1 controllers since they were bargain (10 USD + shipping for SCS.1m and so on on ebay)

When I will start using digital DJ-ing I will buy a legal software for shure. It won't happen in the near future, since no time to my hobbies at all.

Now I'm thinking to sell all these SCS.1's (8 units in total) and try to buy a Numark NS7 II instead and that one comes with Serato. Never used that program, so I don't know anything about it.
VDJ looks more advanced to me, specially the custom layout and video possibilities.

It would be nice to have an option in VDJ to get the possibility to make this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPwBKG... at 6:54 sec....

This is what I call 'pitch shift' really useful, specially if one uses VDJ, where the user must have global pitch (so every deck MUST have the same pitch range, and can NOT have different ranges for different decks)
So the mix can be accurate, and does not need to use let's say +-25% with the increased steps on pitch accuracy.
 
Thinking to sell the SCS.1's since 90% of their time (since I bought them) they are in the repairing center of the authorized dealer.
I have constant LCD strip errors, and if they repair it, after a few power ups the blank line errors apears again.

Also no support from Stanton/Gibson, and most of the modern PC's do not have FireWire anymore.

My hearts bleeding, but they will get out of my house before I could really use them (I only made a few tests, and most of them were the official demo version, since I'm afraid of the mentioned viruses from torrented programs, and there was such a big "you are not allowed to use registered progam from another PC", I decided not to give any trouble to a friend who helped me out)
 
@ djmike001 you actually use this stanton unit correct?
If so would you mind telling me your experience with it
Very interested in them but not a lot of info on them.

Yes I do use this system. I use 2 Stanton SCS 1.D and 1 Stanton SCS 1.M

I very much like this system. However, there are a few issues that could arise expecially if care was taken in the shipment process of you buying a unit.

The LED strips can be an issue, however, even if they are not perfect you can still use them, they do not effect the functionality of your decks.

You will need a computer that has Firewire 1394. or a computer that has an express card or PCMCIA slot. You will need a TI chipset Firewire card to run these decks to their fullest abilities or else you will have to run audio via your computers Mini 8 (headphone jack) which you really don't want to do because I think the sound quality is usually crap from a built in feature on a laptop.

Anyway. I highly recommend these units. I don't believe that they work with Traktor pro 2 :( but If you are a Virtual DJ user you will love these decks.

They work basically plug and play with Virtual DJ once you have set up your ASIO audio drivers, and frankly are a dream. You will find that you probably will remap a few of the buttons to your liking. (I have) but not that i needed to its because I wanted to to make it even easier for me to do my job DJing, Once you get over a short learning curve (I mean short) expecially if you have used Vynal turntables before. You will find that you rarely even have to touch your laptop keyboard. Which is something that I love about these decks.

I think you can purchase a whole set of these for about 800 - 1000 USD. at least here in the USA if you look online hard enough!
someplace like the e bays or something. Best to buy new if you can. So that way you have a warranty, make sure the seller is authorized dealer bit if there is any problems.

I don't know what else to say if you have any specific questions. please feel free to email me
 
Hello there,I am a new user on VDJ, I am also a user of Traktor Pro 2 (since 2004), Adion DJDecks (2010), Mixxx (2013) so now I'm using VDJ7.4 and a Stanton SCS1 system; SCS.1m + SCS.1d; Macbook Dual Core 2.2ghz/4GB + OSX 10.7; I used the registry tool to change jogscratch latency to 1020, 128 samples latency , optimized scratch and quality set in vdj,played with FLAC files; the response is very good on the scs1d, but still sounds a bit weird, very digital. same thing happens using a vestax vci100.if I scratch a slow drag,or a few drops, it sounds awful and warbly! am I doing something wrong?or is it vdj sound algorythm not so good? in traktor it sounds like vynil, but the scratch response is not so quick as in VDJ.thank you
 
For best scratch sound, try to disable Master tempo from Config-->Performance tab (PureScratch)
 
Yes done that as well,today I tried with jog latency 1060,it gets a little better on drags,but still a little warbly when performing quicker scratches,if I do like a few drops in a row it sounds messed up, I trully hope VDJ8 will have better sound and support for the SCS1 system, I will defenitely swap to VDJ,and spent some time configuring the controls...

in this video I'm scratching on Traktor Pro 2

Yes it would be nice if Atomix supported legacy products, but I was once told (when asking about a fix for Denon HS-5500 support) that because the product was discontinued, a fix was not likely.
 
Hello, why does the scratching sounds so good with Play Key Off?when the track is not playing,scratching sounds very good like vinyl,but when Play is On its sounds a bit jumpy,is it the sound algorythm has I meantonied before?I tried a lot of diferent values in Jog scratch,default scratch,motor scratch,instatnt play, what settings should I use??
thank you.
 
I also noticed that the pitch fader gets a little nervous when pushing the reset button. moving the pitch fader doesn't affect the platter spinning speed,no matter what Tempo Range 8<50%, the platter wont speed up/down,this is not a problem in Traktor Pro,and or Mixxx (freeware), so this shouldn't be hard to fix,right?
