    Default Timecode or not?

    So, at my last gig one of my decks stoppet working for a while.. when i pressed play the playhead started moving but the track didnt play ..

    So, is this a common issue?
    I'm thinking about going back to the standard CD/USB because i cant afford anything like this again, what do you guys think?

    Were you in either relative or abs mode? One could have gotten unclicked.

    I don't know what that mean?
    I tried everything, the "CD" icon, the "Vinyl" icon and internal playback, it didnt work for like 10 min, so i had to mix on 1 deck witch basically killed the dancefloor.

    I will need'em anyway since I have a bigger warmup gig this week-end, and i will switch from timecode to normal CD right before he gets on it's a 3 hour warmup set so ill use traktor 2 hours and 45 mins, and normal CD's the last 15 mins .. is that a smart idea?
