Here is everything you need to know to set it up and why it should be your next upgrade. In simple terms, DVS allows you to control digital audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC) using special timecode vinyl records. You put the special record on your turntable. You connect your turntable to a compatible audio interface. When you move the record, the software moves the digital track.

If you want the best of both worlds—the warmth and feel of vinyl with the library management and effects of the digital age— is the gold standard.

There is a magical feeling that DVS (Digital Vinyl Control) provides that a simple controller just can’t replicate. It’s the tactile rumble of the needle in the groove. It’s the pressure of your palm slowing down a spinning record. It’s the ability to "scratch" a FLAC file as if it were a rare 12" press.

Disclaimer: Always make sure your timecode records are clean. Dirty vinyl = bad tracking = trainwreck mixes.
