Dear fellow users. As a DJ from the 80's having tried every DJ software I am truly most comfortable with Virtual DJ. Now that I want to go back to my Stanton Turntable setup but still would like to use the benefits of the digital era, I am considering to buy the pro version of the Virtual DJ. having searched the community posts and dedicated VirtualDJ website for DVS Timecode I couldn't find the exact confirmation regarding whether Scarlett 4 in 4 out interface (18i8 3rd gen in my case) can be used with Virtual DJ for utilizing timecode Vinyls. The website tals about some audio interfaces quite old and rare also refers to "any audio interface with 4 in 4 outs should work). Is this truly the case. Is there anyone who has tried this combination to confirm they work together as they should without any glitches?
many thanks for your kind replies in advance.

I've never used the card your asking about but I'm sure if they drivers are all up to date and you can hook your tables up to it it should work.

Not a DVS/TCV expert here, but I should think if you're hooking up turntables to an interface, it would need phono (as in turntable) level inputs and RIAA preamps to get the signal to line level for VDJ.
Products like Focusrite are designed for mic/guitar/line, not for turntables.
For DJ use, check the Reloop Flux Go for example.
Some modern turntables have internal preamps and can be set to output line level. You're OK with those.

Yes, 18i8 Can be used for timecode, if you own it already.
But if you're considering to buy an audio interface, then better get Reloop Flux Go or Reloop Flux.
They are much more practical on the way they connect and interact with a DVS system, than Scarlett.
In other words, just because you "can" use Scarlett, doesn't mean you "should" :P

It's not an issue that there's no phono preamp?

As long as the preamps are strong enough like for microphones it should be fine for dvs.
For playing regular vinyl that wouldn't work though

In other words, if he cranks up the gain enough, he can hit the calibrate button and VirtualDJ will take care of the rest. However with this solution he will not be able to play "regular" vinyl in "thru" mode as he would be with one of the Reloop devices mentioned above.
That's why I said "it can" be used if he already owns it and wants to keep his budget low, but he should really consider getting another one if he wants ease of operation*
*Even the fact that you have to use RCA to Jack adaptors in order to connect Scarlett to a DVS reduces the ease of operation IMHO.
On the other hand, devices like the Reloop are designed to get connected directly "thru" the audio signal chain, making it easier to operate.
*PS: One thing that I thought it was more of a gimmick but I found myself using it all the time, and now I really enjoy/appreciate, is the USB hub on Reloop Flux! That adds a few extra usability points on this device if you are going to use "sub controllers" among your turntable.

One more thing to perhaps bear in mind:
If using the mic inputs (with adaptors) then you would have to manually go in to the config of the audio interface and pan them left and right to set a stereo signal, whereas a unit such as the Reloop (designed to take turntable signals) would have left/right by default.
