Traktor Playing A Deck Backwards Using CDJs

[ctdf]

this is the first thing you should try

Sadly there gear was locked in, one cdj with no cables and the one that was setup it turns out it was wrong, at that point very stressed. At least I know for next time.

Can someone explain how this actually happens? Thats actually pretty cool though. I can imagine that its freaking annoying though. dont play with time code so i didn't actually know this was possible)

Some mentioned to me that this is due to the cables being plugged in the wrong way round?? Anyone else heard this.

Yes this is possible. You can tell if the plus and minus cables are misconnected by looking at the calibration circle. If they almost touch at the top right or lower right then they are the wrong way. This can lead to reverse play.

Timecode circles must only touch at the Top Left.

Only thing I didn't try was trying to recalibrate traktor.

That's the issue. The easiest thing to do is recalibrate but people never seem to do this in favour of reconnecting the soundcard. Baffles me.

It is standard advice from NI and from Mods on the forum that when changing medium you HAVE to recalibrate. This was in the manual, dunno if it still is.

Has NI made a comment on why this is and any solutions?

Yeah many times. Recalibrate ;-)
