Tip: Using CD-Players with Spin! (Settings)

CD-Players and turntables can be used for controlling Spin! Yet, the sound input must be set different, as CD-Players have a louder output.

If looping, pitch bending or scratching does not work properly with your CD-Player, try minimizing the input signal in your system settings:

> Start > control panel > sounds and audio devices > audio > sound recording > volume

Here you should choose a low level.



>> CHOOSE CLASSIC SPIN! MODE FOR CD-PLAYERS.
>> USE TRACK ONE OF TIMECODE CD (track 2 is for track select function)

Following players were tested successfully with Spin! (more to follow):
- Reloop RMP-1
- Reloop RMP-1 Scratch
- Reloop RMP-2
- Pioneer CDJ-400
- Pioneer CDJ-800
- Pioneer CDJ-1000
- Denon DN-S3500

what abaout the old DN-D4000 do u know if it is worthy...

i already bought the spin:) and have the dn-d4000, but i have some problems with the cue bottom...when i "cue" in my cd player, in spin it only pause, that means that i can´t make a cue point...

it´s there any way to "reconfigurate" the spin with the hardware?

sorry for the english, but i would apreciate much a little help:)

I don't have the possibility to test this model, but normally it should work if you follow the tips below.
Because when you set a Cue Point with the CD-Player and press Cue, the Laser jumps back to the Timecode-Position on the CD - so also to the position in the track you have set the point.

yes it works fine...i screwed up it the classic and advance mode...i notice when in one player i could do cue point, and ion another i couldn´t:)

thank u:)

i don´t know if here is the best topic to put this question, but can i record a set with audacity playing with reloop spin, i already tried to record with spin but it only record one deck each time...(this might be a lame question lol)

[Reloop_Support]

good that it works now!

yes, you can record your set for ex. with audacity. You should connect the Rec / Master 2 Out of your mixer with a second audio interface or the Line In of your on board soundcard OR best use a second computer (you could then also live stream your set with winamp shoutcast..very cool!)

I would like to know the best mode or settings to have on the spin software if i would like to scratch with the cd players on pioneer cdj 800, 1000.

I have tried scratching with alot of problems i still dont know wether to have advanced mode or battle mode.
I also wonder if Spin works better with Windows Xp then with Vista, ive had afew system shutdowns during gigs and had to restart the computer which was a disaster in the middle of a hot set when people was going crazy on the dancefloor.
How can i better prevent this from happening in the future?

I just updated to the new spin2 software but havent had the time to test it on cd players yet.
