PLAY DIGITAL... THE ANALOG WAY.
FinalScratch® is the best and only real bridge for the professional and home
DJ to enter and control the digital world. The turntable becomes a simple
controller that enables DJs to manipulate digital audio files stored on your
hard drive. Just load any audio file onto your computer, then pick and
choose from your own playlist. Your
computer becomes your record box. As
well for the producer, save and load any
production, remix, or new edit you have
created and play it that very moment or
take it to gig the same night without the
need to cut an acetate or make test
pressings. The package includes three
special vinyl records, the ScratchAmp
TM to
connect the computer to your existing
turntable/mixer setup, and the
FinalScratch software.
FINALSCRATCH ®
Software
The FinalScratch software allows the user
to save the audio files in various playlists,
called Record Boxes, as well to search
and assign the audio files to either
turntable. The software provides a visual
representation of the music, needle posi-
tion for each audio file, and remaining
time of each audio file.
Records
The vinyl records included in the
FinalScratch, which contain digital infor-
mation, are used to mix the digital audio
files. All mixing is done directly from the
turntables, including pitch shifting, cueing,
spinning up and down, and even scratching. The FinalScratch records can
be used in combination with traditional analog records when mixing your
set.
Hardware
The ScratchAmp is a powerful sound card to connect all the components
together to form the system. It provides 2 sets of phono inputs and outputs
and 2 sets of line outputs. The ScratchAmp processes the signal from the
FinalScratch records and sends it to the computer via USB.
