Here’s the fucked up thing is that these are the exact same settings I had in TSP.
Some tracks play at a normal bpm while otherse play 20bpm slower, and I’ve tried them in either deck. and its not like it says its playing at 125 and actually plays at 105. Its a 125 bpm track but it plays at 105 and says its actually playing at 105
so just stumbled upon this little tid bit. I left the pitch faders inside TSP2 on and I noticed that its jacked all the fucking way up. And I can’t move it…
then i load a different track and it plays fine. but only that one track (im sure there’s a few more select ones)
Whenever the track is in Relative mode yes the Pitch faders are frozen (so if I’m using my timecodes) if I just play it via software (green play button) the faders are adjustable.
My apologies wasn’t directed at you by any means just frustrating I had this working fine this weekend and now its mucking about.
edit: soo yeah I can’t get my mind wrapped around this. I will load a track and the pitch fader will go way up, so I turn off Relative mode, move the fader go back into Relative and its fine.
This happened to me at my last gig using 2.1.1, but only on the right deck. It didn’t have a grounding wire, so the deck wouldn’t calibrate at first. Then it somehow did, I’m not really sure how… tried swapping concordes and RCA leads (Vestax PDX 2000).
And every time I stopped playback and loaded a new track, the fader would go up +8 (or -8, can’t remember), so I had to switch to internal, display the faders, click reset and resume playing at 0% pitch not to have any offset.
My mate who played afterwards plugged my A8 into his macbook and fired up his TSP 2.0x, and it happened to him too . His workaround was to just load the tracks in that deck while it played (which I have disabled for safety).
Of course I blamed the poor grounding, but if your scope is round, that’s not the issue. No grounding = lots of fuzz.
So I’m still wondering what caused it, because it was a real pain. I’ve had to deal with weird pitch offsets requiring fader resets, but not max. internal pitch range every single time.
I didn’t notice that the OP mentioned the audio interface he is using… but I had similar problems with my A8 as well… I solved this problem by updating the drivers and I also restart the A8DJ control software each time prior to starting Traktor… Incidentally this procedure also works for similar problems experienced when daisy chaining through a Serato SL1 box.
