What do I need to use timecoded vinyl?

Hey there,

I am thinking about saving on integrating vinyl into my setup (timecoded of course). I don't plan to do this right now, as I just spend some bucks on a new laptop, but it might be something I want to get in the future :)

What I have:
Laptop (win 8.1)
CrossDJ
Reloop Beatmix (pretty standard controller, build in sc)
some speakers

What I plan on doing:
Use CrossDJ with four decks: Deck 1 & 2 controlled by my controller and deck 3 & 4 controlled by timecoded vinyl.

What I think I need:
The Cross Pack: http://www.mixvibes.com/products/cross-pack-0
Two vinyl turntables: (Any will do, right? These cheap guys for example: http://www.amazon.com/Numark-TTUSB-Turn ... +turntable)

What I do not understand:
Magnets, how do they work? No seriously, what is that "audio interface" good for? Do I need this to encode the timecodes? Do I need this at all, when I already got a sc in my controller?

:cool: :cool: not shure ,, but if you look at the config the t c signals will have to control decks 1/2 and the MIDI will have to control decks 3/4 ,, ,,if you want decks 1/2 controled by internal mixer and also decks 3/4 controled by MIDI ,, probly have to re map the controller for this ,, look in the manual on info for tc control using the U-Mix Control Pro ,, will give a little bit more insight ,, not familiar/dont use t c control and not gonna say what i dont know ,, :cool:

:eek: forgot to mention also that Cross DJ doesnt support t c control ,, need to upgrade to Cross ,, , Cross Pack comes with Cross ,, so solves that issue unless you are able to use your other s c ,, :eek: :idea:
