Big Traktor problem.
Big Traktor problem. Posted on: 28.09.2012 by Evie Baghdasarian So I am about to start a residency and today a big problem popped up while I was practicing. About 5 or 6 tracks in both channels sounded like they had a distortion effect added to them. I restarted the computer and it worked fine for the first couple tracks and then it started again. I am using a DVS setup and external mixer. I just added a second X1 and am using the native mapping for it. I can't figure this out, I have been using DVS for a couple months now and never had this problem. I hope someone can shine some light onto the situation for me. | |

| Pansy Shiveley 30.09.2012 | Have had this issue with my A6 a couple of times too, I believe it was almost always due to a bad driver or bad latency settings. Actually, it might even always have been the latency. I never externally power my A6 and have done a lot of 6h+ runs without any problems, so I doubt a dedicated USB port doesn't provide enough juice.. |
| Inez Marcinik 30.09.2012 | I've also had issues with my A6, from time to time it will randomly start distorting. If I disconnect it and plug it back in, it'll be fine but that's not exactly ideal. Tried with multiple different drivers, old and new. I've not tried using a power supply yet, reckon I might give it a go. |
| Addie Engbrecht 29.09.2012 | I have actually been having issues w/ distortion/really bad digital noise from time to time too in Traktor w/ DVS. Doesn't matter if it's my A4, A8, or 900. Messed w/ sample rates to make sure...nothing. I'm gonna try another version of Traktor (I'm using 2.13)....just thought I would share |
| Evie Baghdasarian 29.09.2012 | I always keep my A6 on its own port and use my hub for the x1's. I never had to use my power supply before with my A6, but I will certainly give that a try. With my first gig in a while coming up and something that could easily turn into a residency I need to get this worked out. |
| Lauretta Ehrhorn 29.09.2012 | Best way to run an a6 is with it's own power supply. Other people have reported distorted audio when running from just usb power. Mine runs fine with a 9v power supply. |
| Janyce Henningson 29.09.2012 | Also try have your A6 on it's own USB port, the X1's can be run into a hub if needed. |
| Evie Baghdasarian 29.09.2012 | Interesting you should say that. For no good reason at all, I jiggled the USB at the soundcard and lost the signal, jiggled it again, it came back for a moment and then I lost it completely and couldn't get it back. I didn't believe the USB could be causing a distortion sound, but I will swap in a new USB and try again tomorrow. |
| Tanya Koltun 28.09.2012 | Sounds like it could be a bad USB cable |
