Hey! So, regarding the different mixers, here are more details about their compatibility with Phase: 1) 100% analog mixer, with line in: Yes, but you'll need a DVS soundcard (the model depends on your Software) 2) AlphaTheta Euphonia 4-channel Rotary Mixer: Yes, as it's compatible with Serato DJ Pro, but you'll need to pay for the Serato DVS Expansion Pack 3) Allen & Heath Xone:96: Yes, as you can use this with Traktor & Virtual DJ, but you'll have to pay for the DVS license I hope this is clear!

I love my phase, i really do, you made an awesome device there and its tightness in serato with hid is flawless. But I also love to put features on my mixer like fe scratch bank that where never meant to be there...or double my pad modes and stuff like that. Something serato simply doesnt offer. So I have to compromise one way or another. I read below that you have opend hid mode for traktor, so I recon there is no exclusivity agreement with serato and the vdj guys could use it also, is that right?
Hey there Kenshin! The HID mode is not exclusive to Serato DJ Pro, and we'd be more than excited to have the integration with as many DJ software as possible. However, when it comes to the big collabs as such, it's not only in our hands...

@@PhaseDJ Thanks for the fast reply. This is awesome news, pretty much everyone I asked was thinking there has to be an exclusivity deal in the background. You might hear from the guys of vdj soon, now that we users know where to direct our requests for the hid mode.
Hey man, of course you can! While you're using one Remote, the other one can calmly relax in the Receiver and charge, so you can swap them whenever you want! 😉
Use a DVS enabled interface what does it mean? Which one would I need? Is it not possible to use the Phase with serato DJ Pro on the laptop and with a controller like Roland DJ 202? Or I will need to buy an audio interface?
Hey there! The DVS-enabled interface is any mixer or controller that has the possibility to connect or use turntables or Phase without an additional soundcard! In your case, Roland DJ-202 is a DVS-enabled interface and you need a Serato DJ Pro paid license to activate it! You can read more info here: serato.com/dj/hardware/roland-dj-202
Hey James, that's a good point! That's in fact the one "turntablist" gesture that needs to be adapted with Phase, to be honest. Of course, the best way to understand if it's going to be a difficulty for you would be to test it (from a friend or a store maybe?) to see if you can find an alternative. Because the spindle itself is hardly catchable with a Remote indeed, some DJs manage to use the Remote to do so. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm here to help! ✌️

I 💯 agree! There should be some way around this. It’s an old school tactic for calibrating beats and what not. I’ve had phase for years and still accidentally knock the magnet off its port forget there is a big clunky rectangle right there. The tech is there it seems there should not need to be a box on top of the record.
Hey James, that is a good question! :) Actually, there is no "more reliable" way between the RCA and HID, because both of them essentially do the same job of communicating the information between the Receiver and the Remote. The difference between those though, is that when using the HID mode (the USB cable), the information transmission time between the laptop to the Receiver and to the Remote is much quicker and faster, simply because it now goes directly from the laptop to Phase, differently than with RCAs. With the RCAs, the communication goes a little longer, since it has to go through the mixer between the laptop and Phase. However, in both situations, the communication is at its highest accuracy and latency! I hope this explains it. :) Do let me know if you have any other questions!
Heya! Phase is fully compatible with Scratch Live. However, if you're operating on a computer that is over 10 years old, it's essential to verify whether your system meets the requirements for using Phase Manager. This software is crucial for configuring your Phase device during the initial setup process. To confirm the compatibility of your computer, please visit: www.phasedj.com/configuration
Can you use this unit with a powered USB hub instead of plugging directly into a Laptop with minimal ports like Apple because I tried one recently and it didn't work and as soon as I plugged it into the laptop it was fine. Has anyone had success with a powered USB hub and which one was it?
Hey there! It should definitely work, however, you need to make sure your USB has enough power to transfer the energy from Phase to your laptop! Otherwise, it should be working just fine ;)

Hi there! In short, Phase works only with timecode vinyl and doesn’t read the actual records. It is created to be used together with digital vinyl system (DVS) and communicates the tracks from your DJ software to the Remotes on the top of the records. Hope this helps! ✌
@@ArkaHtun Hi there! Just like with the needle with timecode vinyl where the needle transmits the tracks from the DJ software to the vinyl, Phase communicates with the DJ Software and transmits the tracks from the software to the Remotes on the top of the records. Phase doesn't read the actual vinyl, hence the record can be without any groves or anything!
@@PhaseDJ sorry your wording is confusing ,, this uses time coded vinyl , the grooves on the vinyl represent the time related to the file that is stored and played from the computers drive.. Eg , so when the needle is dropped 10cm into the radius of the control vinyl the needle reads the groove and sends that audio to the software (serato ) which then knows where to play the file from... this is not how you ave explained it ... "needle transmits the tracks from the DJ software to the vinyl" tis makes no sense whatso ever ..? just really confused me for a bit .. so im just writing this so as not to confuse more potential customers ... this statement from your earlier post is really misleading ... "phase works only with timecode vinyl and not actual records." so to conclude .. phase works with any vinyl that will spin on yer turntable , the timecode needed to control your dvs system is generated from the rotation of the magnetic things as they are rotated ... is kinda how understood the system ..
@Ryan Sanders heya! Yes, we wanted to say that Phase doesn’t read the actual vinyl and only works with timecode, as that was the first question, whether it can play actual records. In short, nope, it cannot play actual records. But! You don’t need to buy special timecode vinyl to perform with Phase, you can use any type of vinyl underneath it. As you said, since it doesn’t read the grooves, there is no difference what type of wax is there. :) Sorry for the confusion caused, we hope this all makes sense! It seems you do know the Phase technology pretty well. 😉
Guys can anyone help it's driving me round the bend I got Phase a couple of days ago and I'm getting nowhere...Phase says 100% ...and Linked...Serato is in Wireless mode...contollers are going round fine on the decks but I've got absolutely nothing ...I'm running though DDJ SX2 but it's DVS enabled...might be something simple but I'm stumped

Hey there, no problem at all! We’re more than happy to explain what Phase is all about. 😉 You’re right, one of the main reasons we initially created Phase was to fix the issues some turntable DJs were encountering with their setups (fragility of needles, faulty turntables, etc.) But! Even if your setup is in perfect condition, Phase can bring you something more to the table. For example, Phase offers a more comfortable and stress-free performance with timecode than it would be with the needle. We made sure that the Phase Remotes would be completely insensitive to any type of disturbances to offer the most reliable and stable setup for DJs. So no wind, vibration or dust will impact the quality of your performance. It was also created to last your whole DJ journey: we worked on the hardware itself to be robust with materials that last for years, like aluminum reinforcements. So you won’t have to purchase a new unit every few months from wear and tear or damage while traveling! I hope this feeds your curiosity! We have recently released an article with the reasons why DJs choose Phase as their go-to gear 👉 bit.ly/3JJJUpA Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions, we’ll be happy to answer. ✌

So I have to compromise one way or another. I read below that you have opend hid mode for traktor, so I recon there is no exclusivity agreement with serato and the vdj guys could use it also, is that right?
Hey there Kenshin! The HID mode is not exclusive to Serato DJ Pro, and we'd be more than excited to have the integration with as many DJ software as possible. However, when it comes to the big collabs as such, it's not only in our hands...
Nonetheless, we're always trying to push the Phase experience to the fullest, hence our latest firmware update, that elevates the performance of Phase to all users, no matter the DJ software! You can read more about it here 👉 bit.ly/3sPq71s
@@PhaseDJ Thanks for the fast reply. This is awesome news, pretty much everyone I asked was thinking there has to
be an exclusivity deal in the background.
You might hear from the guys of vdj soon, now that we users know where to direct our requests for the hid mode.

Use a DVS enabled interface what does it mean? Which one would I need? Is it not possible to use the Phase with serato DJ Pro on the laptop and with a controller like Roland DJ 202? Or I will need to buy an audio interface?
Hey there! The DVS-enabled interface is any mixer or controller that has the possibility to connect or use turntables or Phase without an additional soundcard!
In your case, Roland DJ-202 is a DVS-enabled interface and you need a Serato DJ Pro paid license to activate it!
You can read more info here: serato.com/dj/hardware/roland-dj-202
@@PhaseDJ thank you very much! That's great!!
I used that spindle slow down the record during mixing. Now it would be covered im not sure there is enough to pinch or if I would knock it.
Hey James, that's a good point!
That's in fact the one "turntablist" gesture that needs to be adapted with Phase, to be honest.
Of course, the best way to understand if it's going to be a difficulty for you would be to test it (from a friend or a store maybe?) to see if you can find an alternative. Because the spindle itself is hardly catchable with a Remote indeed, some DJs manage to use the Remote to do so.

So watching this it looks like you can't use it with a standard mixer. I have a Vestax PCV-275 which I love and wouldn't like to change it out.
Hey there! If you have an analog mixer you need an external soundcard to enable the Digital Vinyl System (DVS) in order to make Phase work.

Does Phase work with Traktor Pro 2?
Hey there! Yes, it should be working just fine since it supports the DVS system! 😉
The only thing that gets me is I use the middle spindle to slow the record down, and cant do that with the phase on like I normally would.
Oh i Never thought about it, good Point !
I use the platter sides, let the platter run along my middle finger and apply light pressure. Same effect but just takes some practice
I 💯 agree! There should be some way around this. It’s an old school tactic for calibrating beats and what not. I’ve had phase for years and still accidentally knock the magnet off its port forget there is a big clunky rectangle right there. The tech is there it seems there should not need to be a box on top of the record.
Nudge the record forwards slightly instead
I'm looking to buy this phase thingy what's more realiable for mixing HID mode or dvs mode .I'm new to this ??
Hey James, that is a good question! :)
Actually, there is no "more reliable" way between the RCA and HID, because both of them essentially do the same job of communicating the information between the Receiver and the Remote.
The difference between those though, is that when using the HID mode (the USB cable), the information transmission time between the laptop to the Receiver and to the Remote is much quicker and faster, simply because it now goes directly from the laptop to Phase, differently than with RCAs.
With the RCAs, the communication goes a little longer, since it has to go through the mixer between the laptop and Phase. However, in both situations, the communication is at its highest accuracy and latency!
I hope this explains it. :)
Do let me know if you have any other questions!

def NOT supported for an original Serato SL1 box correct?
Heya! Phase is fully compatible with Scratch Live. However, if you're operating on a computer that is over 10 years old, it's essential to verify whether your system meets the requirements for using Phase Manager. This software is crucial for configuring your Phase device during the initial setup process. To confirm the compatibility of your computer, please visit: www.phasedj.com/configuration
Can you use this unit with a powered USB hub instead of plugging directly into a Laptop with minimal ports like Apple because I tried one recently and it didn't work and as soon as I plugged it into the laptop it was fine. Has anyone had success with a powered USB hub and which one was it?
Hey there! It should definitely work, however, you need to make sure your USB has enough power to transfer the energy from Phase to your laptop! Otherwise, it should be working just fine ;)

phase only works with control vinyl or does it play actual records
Hi there! In short, Phase works only with timecode vinyl and doesn’t read the actual records. It is created to be used together with digital vinyl system (DVS) and communicates the tracks from your DJ software to the Remotes on the top of the records. Hope this helps! ✌
@@PhaseDJ this doesnt make any sense .. you dont need any vinyl with any groves on do you ? theres no needle to read the grooves ?
@@ArkaHtun Hi there! Just like with the needle with timecode vinyl where the needle transmits the tracks from the DJ software to the vinyl, Phase communicates with the DJ Software and transmits the tracks from the software to the Remotes on the top of the records. Phase doesn't read the actual vinyl, hence the record can be without any groves or anything!
@@PhaseDJ sorry your wording is confusing ,, this uses time coded vinyl , the grooves on the vinyl represent the time related to the file that is stored and played from the computers drive.. Eg , so when the needle is dropped 10cm into the radius of the control vinyl the needle reads the groove and sends that audio to the software (serato ) which then knows where to play the file from...
this is not how you ave explained it ...
"needle transmits the tracks from the DJ software to the vinyl" tis makes no sense whatso ever ..? just really confused me for a bit .. so im just writing this so as not to confuse more potential customers ...
this statement from your earlier post is really misleading ...
"phase works only with timecode vinyl and not actual records."
so to conclude ..
phase works with any vinyl that will spin on yer turntable , the timecode needed to control your dvs system is generated from the rotation of the magnetic things as they are rotated ... is kinda how understood the system ..
@Ryan Sanders heya! Yes, we wanted to say that Phase doesn’t read the actual vinyl and only works with timecode, as that was the first question, whether it can play actual records. In short, nope, it cannot play actual records. But! You don’t need to buy special timecode vinyl to perform with Phase, you can use any type of vinyl underneath it. As you said, since it doesn’t read the grooves, there is no difference what type of wax is there. :)
Sorry for the confusion caused, we hope this all makes sense! It seems you do know the Phase technology pretty well. 😉
Guys can anyone help it's driving me round the bend I got Phase a couple of days ago and I'm getting nowhere...Phase says 100% ...and Linked...Serato is in Wireless mode...contollers are going round fine on the decks but I've got absolutely nothing ...I'm running though DDJ SX2 but it's DVS enabled...might be something simple but I'm stumped

Im the same seems stupid if you already have dvs with vinyl
Hey there, no problem at all! We’re more than happy to explain what Phase is all about. 😉
You’re right, one of the main reasons we initially created Phase was to fix the issues some turntable DJs were encountering with their setups (fragility of needles, faulty turntables, etc.) But! Even if your setup is in perfect condition, Phase can bring you something more to the table.
For example, Phase offers a more comfortable and stress-free performance with timecode than it would be with the needle. We made sure that the Phase Remotes would be completely insensitive to any type of disturbances to offer the most reliable and stable setup for DJs. So no wind, vibration or dust will impact the quality of your performance.
It was also created to last your whole DJ journey: we worked on the hardware itself to be robust with materials that last for years, like aluminum reinforcements. So you won’t have to purchase a new unit every few months from wear and tear or damage while traveling!
I hope this feeds your curiosity! We have recently released an article with the reasons why DJs choose Phase as their go-to gear 👉 bit.ly/3JJJUpA
