Vinyl emulation software is intended for use by disk jockeys. These programs allow the user to physically manipulate the playback of digital music files on a computer using an ordinary turntable. This physical manipulation may include scratches, tempo changes, as well as numerous other turntablist maneuvers. In general, most vinyl emulation software setups require a time coded record(s), turntable(s), audio input/output device, computer, and audio mixer.

The time coded records output an audible control signal through the turntable and into a connected audio input/output device. The input/output device may be a multi-channel ASIO soundcard or a dedicated external USB or firewire audio interface box. The input/output device communicates the time code information to the software where the information in the signal is translated into corresponding changes in the playback of a digital audio file. The manipulated audio output of the program is then sent back through the input/output device and into an audio mixer where the audio signal can be mixed like any other analog audio signal.

The most popular vinyl emulation software packages include Serato Scratch Live, Stanton Final Scratch, Torq by M-Audio, Ms Pinky, djDecks, Virtual DJ, Digiscratch, PCDJ Scratch, and MixVibes DVS.
