so i was playing a little gig the other night and one of the faders on my apc 40 started to move on its own within ableton. fader 3 is mapped to the volume on channel 3 so when i moved it up or down it would follow but then when i stopped moving it it would jump around on its own for a little.
i had this issue when i first bought my apc 40, something was wrong with the power cable and it would do that so when i bought a new one it stopped. could it be the power cable is failing again or is the fader starting to break?
If its just the one fader is very unlikely to be a PSU issue
Probably a build up of carbon or dirt on the fader … buy a tin of this and if it doesn’t work you’ll most likely need to replace the fader entirely.
You only need a TINY squirt, just enough to finely coat the track - you have no idea the amount of DJ faders I’ve seen been permanently put out of action by spraying half a can into them.
