    Could you post a screenshot of your timecode scopes? Are your turntables grounded properly to the mixer?

    Sounds like a turntable/cartridge issue and not mixer/software

    I'm not ruling the cartridge out of the picture, going to check on it. I don't have any records other then timecode. I'm at work right now. I'll check on it and let you know. Is there a specific trick to clean it? I just use a earbud and gently touch it a couple times.

    Thank you.

    Hay there. My turntables have a "preamp" and the switch is on line not phono. So I think that should take care of it right!?
    At least I never had this problem before on it.

    I'll gather some screenshots later this weekend.

    Try turning off your "preamps" and using them through Phono instead.

    Just to check, if your turntables have a phono pre amp, then they should be plugged into a line input on your mixer.

    How are you liking your new Macbook so far? I hope your troubles are not related to Traktor and Mavericks specifically. I plan to pick me up one in the next week or so. Just trying to make up my mind on the specs right now.

    Yep Ross, that's the correct method. I did try booth ways, line on the turntable using line/cd in on the mixer & phono grounded using the phone in on the mixer mixer utilities set to phono/timecode. I got the same frustrating results.

    Thank you all for your comments, please keep them cumming, Let's figure it out why the fastest MacBook Pro one can buy and the DJM-900 club standard mixer are not working with Traktor because as of right now If was not for you guys help I would have heard nothing from N.I or Pioneer on the subject.

    - ps: I'm feeling like a looser with all this useless expensive gear.
