    Default Alien Sound really quick during playback and not during playback

    SOLVED see here
    http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthr...l=1#post559460

    Ok this is really strange. Im not even sure too much on how to describe the sound

    Its not from the music because it happens while nothing is playing

    I was just going over the controlls, getting familiar with them
    nothing was playing
    at one point, nothing was in either deck and still the sound happened

    i tried over and over again to reproduce it intentially but i cant.

    Its a random sound.

    Almost sounds like its computer generated.
    Like a glitch sound or a squeetch.

    really high pitched, and really short. Less then a second
    I mean you are talking like less then 1/4 of a second but its loud and just barely long enough to notice it in the audio.

    While listening with headphones, i use the MAIN OUTS on the Kontrol S4 and plugged them into my external dj mixer input (channel 3)
    so i had my headphones pluged into my dj mixer, no KS4

    i did this to make sure the sound was coming from the S4 and no where else.

    it is.

    I even saw the audio signal peak on my mixer input level.

    Not sure whats happening here.
    Like i said
    its random
    happens when music is playing or not.

    any advice on what to look for?

    here is the sound.
    You can hear it exactly at 1 second INTO the audio
    In this case i was able to record it while something was playing

    i tried doing it while NOTHING was playing but it took too long recording.
    And wouldnt yuo know... im still listening right now while im typing this (on another computer)
    and i JUST made the sound while NOTHING was playing in either deck and nothing is loaded lol

    got everything worked out here

    the sound was because my laptop wasnt accepting the new LATENCY settings i adjusted until a number of restarts.
    All seems fine now
