| When you are djing, do you tend to have the channel faders up at the full 100% all the time? I used cruise at full volume when I had a shitty set up with horrible sound issues (Vestax CDX05s and a Numark DXM06), but I recently acquired some pioneers and a Xone 42.

| 10.02.2013 Traktor Scratch vinyl loses signal | 12 | 18.02.2013 |
| I've seen this pop up before but no actual answer that worked for me. I've got an A8 with vinyl timecode on my MBP. It seems that after about 10-15 minutes, the signal (bar next to the timecode analyser) goes to zero and it defaults to internal mode. the only thing that fixes it is either… | ||

| So... im getting some skipping on traktor scratch pro 2's absolute mode when i'm trying to scratch.

| Hi, I've switched to CDJs from traktor a little while back. My setup's still coming together and so far I've got a single DJM 2000 and a DJM 1000 (I wanted a model of each so I could get used to both for working in clubs as the places I play tend to have one or the other).

| 30.12.2012 Where to store music when using club CDJ's? | 11 | 07.02.2013 |
| I've been considering trying out to DJ in clubs using their CDJs and I have a question. What do you guys believe is the best way to store your music? Is it usb stick or laptop or something else? Also, if you use one USB stick, can two CDJs use the tracks from it or do you need a copy? Thanks in… | ||

| 29.01.2013 DJM350 EQ Cutoffs | 1 | 04.02.2013 |
| I was wondering if anyone knows the cutoffs for the 3 band EQ on the DJM350 (or any DJM really as I assume they are all probably similar)?

| 10.01.2013 Anyone using Ortofon OM DJ S cart with scratch pro? | 6 | 27.01.2013 |
| I've finally bitten the bullet and bought a Z2. I'm still primarily a vinyl DJ (probably 80/20 vinyl/digital) so have been using the Technics with the OM DJ S cart and stylus, but with the Z2 and scratch pro i was wondering if these have the signal strength to get a decent timecode signal.
