Hi there. Hoping someone can help me?
I have a Traktor Audio 6 unit and am trying to get it running with Traktor Scratch Pro 2, timecoded vinyl and decks. I have managed to get it running properly with the it calibrating correctly and playing through both channels, however.......
The sound quality is really poor. It sounds like it is clipping really badly and the levels all seem really high (can't push faders up on mixer as its too loud).
I feel like i have tried everything. Updated driver and firmware etc, gone through setup instructions multiple times, restarting computer, changing RCA leads, adjusting soundcard master volumes etc.
I don't have the specs of my computer on me but i have checked and double checked that my computer can handle it and all seems fine.
I have thoroughly cleaned the contact vinyl which are actually new.
It gives the same clipping sound through headphones plugged into my external mixer (Numark DM1001X, so fairly old but works fine with direct vinyl).
The only thing i havent looked into is the quality of my needles. I have fairly cheap needles running, however they are in decent enough condition. No sound issues running direct vinyl. Could this be the cause of the issues. If so what cartridges should i use?
Any advise would be hugely appreciated as i have run out of ideas.
Regards
Craig
