Urgent!!
Urgent!! Posted on: 05.10.2012 by Lillia Datson Hi guys, i really need a quick fix for this if anyone knows the problem.Ive found that Deck A on Traktor, running an S4 has started to 'creep' forward, even when stopped. Basically the thin red line denoting where the track is up to is slowly moving forward of its own accord, throwing the beats way out of time! This keeps happening even when i press play to stop the deck. Ive got a gig tomorrow and really need some help on this if anyone has had anything like this before! Any and all help appreciated! | |

| Lillia Datson 05.10.2012 | I believe i might of solved it. Basically, the phase meter was going of what the master tempo was, which was set to the metronome bit in the top left, so no matter what BPM i set either track to, traktor kept wanting to bend it to the metronome tempo in the top left, rather than keep it in sync with the next track. I set it to auto, so that the next/previous track was the master. Im hoping this works, but it might jump back again. I'll have to wait and see tomorrow |
| Lillia Datson 05.10.2012 | Im not sure what seems to activate it. It just starts to wander off beat all of a sudden, then continues to move backwards. Ive had the playing track just cut out as well! |
| Kellie Myrum 05.10.2012 | It shouldn't, was believeing of other S4 mappings that haven't been overwrited. How did you notice this issue? What was the last control that you push/move before track start to bend? |
| Lillia Datson 05.10.2012 | Ive got Deckgrat motion on my MF3D, but that shouldnt effect the pitch/jogwheels/tempo side of things....should it? |
| Danae Dumler 05.10.2012 | Please don't put WD-40 on your faders. Get yourself some CaiLube or similar lube made for electronics. |
| Kellie Myrum 05.10.2012 | Have you check for double mappings? |
| Lillia Datson 05.10.2012 | Ive had a fiddle and it seems to be something to do with the master tempo. It switchs to the metronome master tempo instead of the deck as the master if that makes sense? It seems the deck is trying to catch up with the metronome master thingy (Im not very good with traktor terminology) |
| Kellie Myrum 05.10.2012 | I would check if that's tempo or pitch band mapping issue firstly. Can't see how this might got something to do with dirty faders |
| Merideth Garnder 05.10.2012 | Contact cleaner and white lithium grease might be better than WD-40. I've had WD-40 build up and make the faders even more gunky after some time back out in the open. |
| Shalon Jaranilla 05.10.2012 | Mostly to do with dust in your faders. my s4 wich is be used every weekend in open air on a beach, had the same problem with all faders and push buttons. My warranty is over so i decided to go all the way and put a bit of wd 40 in my faders, that did the trick even a bit of wd 40 in the push buttons that didn't function worked. Did this about 5 months ago and everything works perfect. But first you can try blowing in to the fader that worked for me first, but temporarily. At the end contact cleaner and dust cans didn't do the trick for me only wd 40, wich can be nasty stuff for electronics, so this advice has no warranty. But for me it worked. |
| Audrey Pinda 05.10.2012 | If you're using time-coded vinyl, check the grounding on the turntables to make sure that's all set. |
| Lillia Datson 05.10.2012 | yeah, its a temporary fix, but it seems to come back again after an hour or so. Im hoping its not something internal.... |
| Loyce Mekonen 05.10.2012 | Have you tried calibrating jogwheels? |
