Dan Tippett Picture Disc Control Vinyl

Listening notes

Released in 2013 on Serato Pressings under catalog number SR 624-955, the Dan Tippett Picture Disc Control Vinyl is a functional control record produced for use with Serato DJ software. The release is classified under the Non-Music genre, reflecting its purpose as a utility pressing rather than a conventional audio release.

The record is a double-sided picture disc format containing four sides of content. Sides A and C each carry ten minutes of Serato Control Tone, while Sides B and D each carry fifteen minutes of the same, bringing the total runtime across all four sides to fifty minutes. The extended duration of Sides B and D relative to Sides A and C is the primary structural distinction between the individual sides of this release.

Control records of this type function by transmitting a continuous timecode tone that Serato software reads to interpret the position and speed of a turntable needle, allowing a DJ to manipulate digital audio files using physical vinyl. The pressing carries the name of Dan Tippett in its title, which distinguishes it within the broader catalog of Serato control vinyl releases, though the verified facts available here do not clarify the nature of that association.

As a picture disc, the release differs visually from standard black vinyl control records, though no details about the specific artwork or imagery are available from the confirmed facts on hand.
