Numark M1usb + Traktor = ??
Numark M1usb + Traktor = ?? Posted on: 26.12.2012 by Jaquelyn Brenny Hi everybody,I've got somewhat a newbie question but seems that I cannot figure it out myself. First of all, I'm totally new to DJ'ing. I mean I know some basics and I'm somewhat familiar with sound production using a PC but I've never really played and DJ hardware/software is new for me. So, I've got a Numark M1usb mixer that which I intended to use literally as a mixer between a TT and laptop (maybe not a best solution but I got it dirt cheap and it sounds quite good for its price), but curiosity made me to try it with Traktor and here's the problem. As it's 2 sound cards are separated, I had to use ASIO4ALL (as I'm running Windows). I've configured Traktor to use External routing and Numark's outputs for decks A and B. Then I threw a couple of tracks into decks and hit play. But what I got is a terrible glitches for both decks. These glitches occur with regular timing and it's frequency depends on Buffer size set in ASIO4ALL settings. It disappears only if I disable one of Numark's sound cards in ASIO4ALL settings. I've tried different USB ports on my laptop, but it doesn't make any difference. Neither do checking or unchecking "multi-core processing" option in Traktor. Does anyone know what it can be or had similar problem? thanks, Max | |

Jaquelyn Brenny 29.12.2012 | Hi sawtoothz, the problem really turned to be concerned with latency. Setting "Latency compensation" param to 32 solved everything |
Gladys Wooler 27.12.2012 | Hey, go to your Audio setup in preferences and check your latency, if your overall latency is above 10ms it could cause some crackles and glitches! |
