Scratch Track: Timecoded Vinyl Scratch Plugin by Stagecraft Software Free Download

Scratch Track interprets timecoded vinyl, so you can use a turntable to scratch audio inside your DAW. Once vinyl input is enabled in the plugin and the correct vinyl type is selected, the plugin reads the turntable movement and produces the scratch.

If you prefer hardware without a turntable, the plugin supports MIDI platters controllers and most MIDI controllers. Any slider or button can be mapped through MIDI learn by right-clicking the control and activating learn, and the crossfader curve can be adjusted in the plugin.

The plugin is also CDJ compatible, which may suit DJs who want to use familiar hardware while producing tracks.

Scratch Track can trigger and scratch samples, loops and tracks. Programmable cue points let you jump between cues in a sample at the touch of a button.

The live input mode lets you scratch incoming audio as it is played. A sung phrase or a live MC can be recorded into the scratch buffer and scratched right after it is created. Pressing the sync button returns the scratched stream to the current playtime.

With the automation features, the developer says you can record how the vinyl was moved, then edit the scratch afterward or create moves that a turntable could not perform.
