    Default Traktor- Track floating backwards??

    So I just did the 2.5 update and have been messing with it and suddenly on one of my decks when it is paused the marker where you are in the track oh so slowly floats backwards in the track. What in the world could be causing this?

    Mind giving a little more detail about your setup? This issue can be caused by a number of reasons.

    I was having a few issues right away w/ timecode and Traktor 2.5 so I reverted back to 2.1.3, so it's a possibility it could be the new update, but whenever your have a bad connection w/ one of the RCA's on your turntable, it has been known to make one of the decks in Traktor run backwards. Could be one of those 2 things, or i've even heard of some other things that have done the same exact thing, like dirty needles or bad calibration in Traktor.

    check your needles for fluff also man! and check the contacts between the headshell and tonearm also, ensure they arent corroded.

    I had this happen to me once on a non-DVS system. It was the strangest thing. Playing was normal, but when stopped the deck would be in constant rewind.
