New Problem with Traktor I've not seen before?
Posted on: 14.06.2010 by Wanda Insel
Now, I'm still a relative noob, only had Traktor and my VCI 100 SE for about 2 months so this may be something common with a quick fix and a name but I don't know what it is?

I was playing on traktor and suddenly from the play line (in the middle of the wave form) the wave form just disappeared and I had no audio on deck A?

Also I noticed when the crossfader was on deck A it wasn't sitting still and was kind of wobbling without me touching it, not much but a couple of millimetres at least on the screen?

None of this appeared to be happening on deck B or when the crossfader was sat on the right.

I have a MBP 15, 2.56, 4gb ram with an NI Audio 2.

Any other info please let me know!!

Awesome, cheers for the reply. I'll give it a try and let you know.

Now just the X fader to sort out!!!

Has anyone else had a problem like mine? Bearing mind the VCI is only 5 months old and has been kept in a case so doubt it has got too dirty/ dusty.

I'll sometimes have to wait for the waveform as Traktor is analyzing a new track, but I've never had it happen while a track is playing. What's yoru crossfader curve set at?

i seen this on the x-fade recently to, believe it could just be a vibration thing? as for the waveform/audio disappearance, did you accidentally unload the deck?

I'm having this same problem, except I'm already using 320 Mp3s! I've had this same setup (Lenovo G450 laptop/Traktor 2 Audio), for about a year, and it's always worked fine. It first did it to me on stage 2 evening s ago (of course), then just did it to me again at home. Hope someone can help, it really sucks to have the music stop right in the middle of a song everyone's getting down to. :/ Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! It will be really appreciated.

I never have the crossfader showing on Traktor but could it just be vibration on the vci?

My traktor pitch arrows flash like mad cus of the vibration on the jog wheels.

Bingo ..!

The famous aac file bug.
This affects pretty much everyone using aac files and it's totally random.
There are quite a few threads on thi matter on here and at NI community s.

Currently the only fix is to reload the track.
Or convert it to mp3.

NI are fully aware of this issue cus I and loads of other DJTT members have sent NI videos and files.

Just waiting on a fix but it I'll admit it's a long time coming.

You may have some dust or something in your cross fader causing the wobbling issue, but I don't believe that would mess the wave form up though. There's talk of cleaning the fader with alcohol in a thread somewhere in the support community .

No deck unloading accidentally, it was while playing, mainly after I was hitting cue points. It would jump to one cue point and then the audio would just peter out?
X fader is set full curve as it's mainly edm for me.

I have noticed on the DJTT VCI support threads in the other people who bought theirs at the same time as mine (one post bought his in Dec 09, mine from Jan 10) reported similar wobbles, they just sent him a new X fader. Wondering if general fault, not sure if the audio failing is linked though?
