Is there any way of syncing DJ vinyl decks to PC DAW's and hardware sequencers?
Is anyone doing this, if so how do you have it setup?
I think I remember seeing a video on Youtube of a party where they had the usual Roland drum machines and synths working away and a pair of decks. They may not have been synced but were just used to drop a bar or two over the drum machines and synths or add scratch effects.
I have a Korg KMS-30 and Kenton Pro-Solo boxes for syncing.

Not possible with regular TT's. Just play the record at 0% pitch and manually sync the hardware clock to the record.

That's what I thought, just wanted to check. Thanks

You could use a DVS like traktor which has Midi Send to your DAW of Choice (easiest).

OR

Use something like this: Soundbite Micro which will output a midi clock based on Audio.

Found it for sale here BTW
