Channel louder on Denon MC6000

So say I have the mixer levels at 8, I’m blending the track over to my right channel but it comes in to loud and I have bring that level down to 5 or so? Trying to figure out whats going on?

Thoughts?

What are the inputs into the respective channels?
And what way are your Gains/Trims?

I’m running out of unit directly into sub. gains & trims are set at 12oclock.

I’m assuming you’re not panned. Do the meters indicate that the levels are correct? What is your speaker setup? You said you are plugging into a sub what are the connections from the sub to the speakers?

Out of unit into EV SUB out to Yamaha DXR12’s.

The levels on the unit right channel is of course lower than the left because it would be to loud. Also it’s the same track, the wave form is the samebut it just comes out louder on that right channel?!

What software are you using? What’s the position of the PCMIX/INTMIX on the back of the unit?

What I’m trying to get at is if the signal is coming out of your unit correct but your speakers are altering the level or whether it’s truly the unit that’s doing it. Can you trouble shoot and comfirm?

I’m using Traktor Pro 2

Mixing mode = PC Mix
Output Source/USB Audio = Rec Out/Mic

Ok, we can do several things to check the software side of things (if it’s that, it’s probably either Traktor deck gains or Win/Mac volume control for separate channels).

But, before that we have to make sure the hardware is ok. Plug a CD player, mp3 player, anything with a RCA output into every channel on the MC6000, without laptop connected to it, any verify you have the same volume with gain knobs set the same.

I’m using a PC and the settings on the MC6000 is set to MIDI, all levels & High, Mid, Lows are at 12oclock.

When I went threw all the RCA/Lines the volume is only 4bars with the sliders all the way up.

When you say volume control for the separate channels do I check that in the software?

What did you connect to the Line input? Channel gains (labeled “level” on the unit) were at 12 o’clock?
4 bars on the VU meter (set to ch1/4 or ch2/3) sounds about right, that’s almost -3 db. Ideally it would be at 0db but depends on what unit did you connect to the line input (a CDJ would definitely give 0db)

Master knob was set at what level and how much bars did it show on the VU meter?

In Traktor you can see deck gains for each channel in the middle (enable it under Mixer layout-(filter+key+gain+pan+..). If you have the option of autogain selected Traktor will change gain of each track and it can be the reason why one song is louder:

Once you verify that is ok the last thing you can check is the volume control for channels and that is somewhere in windows setup for the mc6000 interface. Search for something like volume control.

Thanks for all the help!

I connected my MP3 player to the line inputs. Checked the Mixer level in Traktor and the “Set autogain” was checked. But why would that affect only the right channel? Just noticed on the software mixer section “Gain” was at 3oclock.

I’ll test again later and report back.
