I'm sure someone here might know that answer but you might get faster results by asking them directly on their forums as well as here...

I do know that there is a device called Hercules that come pre-packaged with VDJ 3.0, or basically the Home Edition. Sells for about 250.00 and allows you to do simular things with mp3's like you would with vinyl.

I'm guessing it might not be possible because, and I could be wrong here, just because a device is USB compatible doesn't mean it's addressable... which it would need to be in order for the turntables to control the virtual turntables... get what I mean....

I'm not an expert and I am only giving you and educated guess.

Others on here may know better... and if I'm wrong they will quickly correct me. In the mean time check out VDJ's forums too you may even find the answer without posting.

The way that external controls (Total Control, Hercules, DAC2/3, etc.) work with VDJ is by utilizing MIDI. If the turntables a MIDI capable, I don't see why it wouldn't work. You might have to map it yourself, but still possible.

For $120 you can pick up an external soundcard that will definitely allow you to use those turntables with time code vinyl. Just remember that it must have inputs as well as outputs (the Maya 44 USB is the standard for this).

Not sure that VDJ support USB turntables.Im VDJ user but sorry.But you need a second sound card as Jay said but i must dissapoint you both-MAYA 44 is NOT in production anymore!!!If you faind a pice somewhere TAKE IT!!! Its still the best soundcard for VDJ!If not , you find some other card that do the good job too.

You can buy the time code records right from the VDJ site. Look under "hardware".
