DVS stands for Digital Vinyl System, and it first surfaced back in 2001 with a package called Final Scratch. It's a techology that allows DJs to use classic DJ tools such as turntables or CD decks to play music from their laptop (instead of playing vinyl records or CDs).
How does it work?
It works with specific vinyl records and CDs that don't hold any music, but instead give off audio signals to tell the DVS DJ software where on the record/CD the deck is playing at any time. This enables the computer to play the audio file from it's memory at the exact point in the track that the deck is playing the record or CD.
There is one question that has been floating around the internet for an age, and people debate it over and over again -- that is: what's the best Ableton Live warp mode for DJs using Ableton Live?
Interestingly, Ableton Live has had many releases, even a warp engine revamp, but those efforts just can't seem to clear up the burning question!
So, what is the best warp mode in Ableton Live for every DJ? Is it even possible to answer this question? I'm going to try!
