Deck B (Right Deck) keeps saying Right Channel Missing please help!!!?

I recently set up my turntables, mixer, audio 6 etc. However when I play music on Deck B(Right Deck) it keeps saying right channel missing. Not only that, but when I turn the vinyl counter clock wise the song goes in the opposite direction and skips, when I turn it clock wise it skips forward. I have no idea what to do and I really hope someone can help me because I have a gig on December 9th. Heres a video if it helps you understand what is going on:

there are a few things it could be il start with the simplest and most likly

1st thing to check are ur needles so swap ur headshells round on the decks, if it goes to the other deck u found ur problem

if not swap ur turntables round, if the problem swaps decks it is likly to be the output on the deck so check the cable for snags, and replace it not likly to be internals but possible.

there are 2 more unlikly situatations

if you have swapped the decks and the problem stays on the same deck it could be ur input on ur audio 6 or a software problem

I had the same problem, and am trying to still find a solution for it, but one thing you can try, and i have no idea why it works but it did for me, is on Traktor switch the input mode from timecode vinyl to timecode CD. No clue why it works though…

tombruton69, i tried the first thing you recommended, however that caused a problem on the left deck and fixed nothing on the right deck. But when I switched them again left deck was ok but right deck still messed up. I will try the last two and see if any of those work out.

i will definitely try that, sounds promising since you had the same problem.

thanks guys for your advice, i really hope it works.

how old are your needles have you tried using some new ones, it could be an internal problem with the deck that isn’t that bad but is being amplified by the bad needle, The CD trick could work cuz of how traktor is expecting something much louder but it is receiving sum thing quieter so it will artifially amplify it. that last comment is just speculation

just thinking programmer thinking

my needles are new, i had to buy them when the same thing happened with my last needles, but it only happened once and I didn’t know what I did to fix it. But after installing the new ones into my headshells and trying them out, there was no problem.

Could be tonearm, rca etc etc

Did you switch inputs on the soundcard?

8

could be the headshell try wiggling it about

9

ok, so i changed the cartridges to my old ones and everything seems fine, except that deck B now goes in reverse when it shouldn’t, what the hell is going on!!!

10

Dust buildup on needles? L&R channels reversed? Dropping a channel?

11

i fixed the problem, by switching the headshells

12

though the headshells would be the main problem, id also reccomend cleaning the tone arms. there might be sone dust build up there aswell

Hello !

So i’ve bought the a6 a few months ago and i didn’t use it until recently, i’ve had the same problem with ,right channel missing’’ , apparently there was not enough signal into the white rca cable from the turntable, note that i’ve recently bought it and it hasn’t been used for dj-ing, it has all the original parts. If i changed the white rca into the red socket in the a6, from right channel missing became left channel missing.
The cable is original from factory, if i push the cable it comes out from the white shell and falls apart. So today i’ve lifted the cable and realized that the signal worked for a fraction of a second when i lifted the cable. I moved it around thinking that if i stretch the cables it will work. So after i tried everything ( pushing, pulling, even splitting the cable more ), i grabbed the cable in my fist like 6 cm from the end while i was pressing the cables into the audio 6, while the turntable was on, and the signal came !! I grabbed some ducktape and just with a bit i set it around the red/white from the turntable and the ,right channel missing ‘’ problem vanished ! Hope this works for you too :slight_smile:

Setup:
2 x Technics sl 1210 Mk2 w/ Shure m44-7 cartridges
1 x Vestax Pmc - pro II
