Cross 3 + Timecode

[MusicMeister]

I honestly dont see the big issue though. Serato (and other companies) offer a free download of their time code cd ( http://serato.com/controlcd/downloads ) to anyone and everyone. There is absolutely no issue at all. Its a crucial part of the software which helps certain users of the software control certain features.

Actually, Serato and Virtual DJ (Numark Cue) are the ONLY company I'm aware of that offers a download of their timecode.

Here's a list of companies that do NOT offer downloads of their time code:

M-Audio Torq - They use a modified version of Ms. Pinky's timecode and our rules were to pull it off the forum if it was posted.

Ms. Pinky - They own their own timecode but they don't post it online.

Native Instruments - Yep, you mentioned that you own Traktor but you can't download the timecode from them. They actually licensed the timecode from N2IT - although that might have changed, in the end, you still can't download the timecode signal.

Final Scratch - The first DVS software, released as a joint product between Native Instruments and Stanton didn't have downloads of time code.

PCDJ Reflex - Again, using a modified Ms. Pinky engine, they never allowed the download of the time code signal.

DJDecks - While the product is being 'integrated' into Virtual DJ they never had their own time code and didn't allow downloads of others from their site.

Mixxvibes - But you already knew that didn't you?

There are a few others if I dug around, but as a general rule, time code media isn't available for download from the companies themselves.

sorry to hear that, but a mp3-timeocde wont get you nowhere.
you need the uncompressed version.

Actually, the MP3 version works quite nicely. I've actually ripped the time code CDs as MP3s, put them on a thumb drive and then used a Numark Director D2 media player to control playback of Torq using it as time code. I've done similar actions using CDs burned from MP3s. While the original uncompressed or lossless files would be preferred, MP3s will work. The 'speed' side of the signal typically falls between 1 KHz and 3KHz - well within the working range of MP3. The other side varies but it's also well into the 'working' range of MP3.

Degrading the signal might cause issues if you drop to a low enough bit rate/sample rate, but for the most part, it will work. Just throwing it out as an FYI....

Guys,
any luck on this timecode thing? I struggled for about a week to be able to buy this software, and I still cant use it on my home setup. I found one online shop in china selling older version timecode cds for mixmeister but the shop is still closed until after the chinese new year.

Buying the cd from out of this country, then getting it delivered here (without having any issues with lost post and all that crap) is hard enough. A simple download (even with with software) would have been awesome (even with additional payment).

Please please please guys. Help me out

As already said, we're thinking about an easier way (download) to get timecode CDs.
I've told those in charge of this that you (and others) were like waiting for a solution, I can't do more

So, After almost 3 months of having Cross, I still have no use for it as I cant seem to find the time code cd. Hannes did offer, and actually tried to send me the Time Code cds from Austria to china, but recently we found out that it was retuned to him as the post office wasnt able to deliver to china. I paid the shipping, even tho Hannes offered the time codes for free.

Its dissappointing to say the least. I kind of knew this will happen, as it is always a risk to send stuff like that to china.

I did some enquiries, but cant find any shop nearby this region who are able to send it to china. I found a Shop in India, but they cant send to china either. There are no one in the surrounding countties who has this in stock either.

It seems like Cross isnt that popular, as the chinese hasnt even tried to crack it cause i cant even find a cracked copy online.

I think its seriously about time u put the timecode signal online for download. The same way as u download the software.

I see no issue with this, if you worry that someone will copy your time code signal, surely they can just buy the cd and do it.

Please please please mixvibes. Help me with this. Pls help me to download the time code cd. I will pay for this.
