In simple terms, DVS allows you to control digital audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC) using special timecode vinyl records. You put the special record on your turntable. You connect your turntable to a compatible audio interface. When you move the record, the software moves the digital track.

If you are considering investing in this ecosystem, you need to know what you are paying for. Here are the flagship features that make TP3 DVS the king of the scratch world.
