Talk:Final Scratch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Final Scratch uses special vinyl records. As you have to use it again and again, don't they wear out within the first twenty tracks you have played? --Abdull 10:15, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes they do, but you can get replacements for the standard price of a vinyl
- It is mainly the high freqs that mostly fade out (of course it will all level out in the end, but not after 20 or 200 plays). I don't know what's on the special record but in my head it doesn't need to have high frequency content.
- The timecoded vinyls contain a 1200Hz signal
- I used the software pretty heavily for a couple of years before switching to Serato; the vinyl never wore out, though the software did have trouble picking up the timecode on dirty bits of the plate. And there is an option to move the lead-in on the records through software to mitigate needle burn from continuous cueing at the beginning of tracks. Deejaysomething 08:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Speaking of the timecode on the FinalScratch records, is it standard SMPTE LTC (Longitudinal/Linear Time Code) that's used, much like on the audio (or dedicated linear timecode) tracks of videotapes, or is it proprietary to FinalScratch? misternuvistor 06:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- This page shows a breakdown of the code: http://www.9elements.com/scratchlib/index.php?f_categoryId=14 and I think confirms that is isn't SMPTE LTC. Serato timecode is different again 80.0.9.255 11:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
