Hi all, I'm having a pretty serious problem with my plx-500. Out of the box I hated the stock head shell and quickly upgraded to a shure m44 with a technic head shell. I'm using DVS on my DDJ SX2 as my setup with a late 2012 macbook.
The problem I'm having is that when I go to scratch the turntable doesn't pick up right away and sounds like shit when I scratch on it. It's not coming in with clean audio at all when you grab the vinyl. I know it's not the hardware because I can scratch very well with the phono noise made by the vinyl. The audio plays immediately upon needle drop and plays clearly.(only a problem when trying to scratch to touch vinyl).
I've ruled out the vinyl, since it's brand new Serato control vinyl. I'm beginning to the problem is my macbook. It's old, 2012 with a intel duo 2.7ghz processor and 250mb of video ram, 4gb RAM.
Anyone have any advice? I think it might be something fucked up in my Serato as well. I'm not seeing the circle appear in my turntable calibration in Serato.
