S2 scratching almost always 1/4-1/2 second off Posted on: 03.02.2012 by Jamila Citino I've been getting used to mixing again over the past 3-4 months, and there has been one thing that has irked me, even my wife recognized it. It seems any time that I have been scratching it seems that it's always 1/4-1/2 second off. Now I come from vinyl, but it has been over 13 years since I touched a SL1200. However I remember my experience with scratching on that seemed to be far more "accurate" for a better lack of term. Am I just still that rusty that I am off? Has anyone transitioned from vinyl to jogs and experience what I am experiencing? | |

| Lashay Walchak 03.02.2012 | The DJTT mapping is in NHL protocol it's just the Jog Touch sensitivity is at 75% instead of 100% |
| Addie Engbrecht 03.02.2012 | You have latency to deal with when you scratch on the S2 as opposed to an external mixer. I set mine as low as possible, basically a lil before I start having audio issues because it's too low. I don't do heavy scratching when I use my S4 as a mixer, but when I do end up doing a little, I can feel and hear the difference big time when my latency is set even just a lil bit higher (like less than a 1 ms). Check what yours is at, I have mine at 4.7ms overall |
| Jarod Perrodin 03.02.2012 | Good luck with the move buddy. |
| Jamila Citino 03.02.2012 | No it's not your mapping, it's one that was similar to DJJT's mapping, but it could be the culprit. Going to try to find out toevening . In the middle of packing/moving so my practice time has been limited. |
| Jarod Perrodin 03.02.2012 | Is it my mapping? its in nhl and is the same as the standard one with scratching. Have a look at the latency in audio setup, get it as low as possible. If it is my mapping, then that is the cause, or maybe sync and quantise are on? they affect scratching to |
| Kandra Fagler 03.02.2012 | yes delete the mapping and revert to the native one - you will appreciate the extremely smooth response of the native mapping! this happened as well when i used the DJTT S2 mapping, which was why I decided not to use it |
| Jamila Citino 03.02.2012 | Yes I am using a custom mapping, maybe I should revert back. |
| Kandra Fagler 03.02.2012 | hmm thats stragne did u add a custom mapping or something? the S2's jog release on the native mapping is really awesome, if you add a custom mapping (eg. the DJTT S2 mapping) it might not be in NHL mode and the jog response might not be as good coming from vinyl here as well btw |
