    3.0 is actually within recomended specs, and I'm gonna assume everything else is correctly set. How bout playing a regular vinyl record?

    Yea if the little icon of the record without the tonearm is highlighted when your playing then you're in relative mode not absolute, which is prob what you want anyways

    yea thats def all over. It almost looks like its jumpin up and down on the same spot on the record, but you said you def cant notice any warping on the record and it would def be noticable. FYI in that video you are in absolute mode which if the needle skipped it would skip thru the song....just wanted to make sure you understood my explanation from before.

    Not sure if this is relevant to your situation bc you are using a dvs but I've seen multiple controllers (including my own) have variations in the tempo and skip (like you're scratching or bending the pitch with the jog wheels). In my experience it was caused by the bass hitting so hard the jogs think they are being touched. If we put a piece of foam under the controller to reduce the vibrations it stopped.

    Like I said earlier, I'm not sure if this is really any help since you're running vinyl (and I cant watch the vid at work).

    I didn't think of that. I'll have to check that

    i had this problem yesterday when i did the new traktor update. after hours of messing around i found my decks were set to 10m (if you click on the spinning record it will flip to another view) were it says mk2 vinyl blah and 10m in brackets but prior to the update if said 15m so i did a cheeky set up wizard and then it set it back to 15m n works as it was

    mayby give this a try

    Change the key lock setting under preferences to 'scratch'.

    Alternatively, set the loaded track info to give you a 'stable bpm' read out.
