Ok, so I bought a second hand MK1, got all the updated drivers and controller editor etc. Booted up the DEMO version of traktor 2 (I have TSP2 in the mail) and noticed that the feedback on the LEDs was a bit slow. Like I’d hit FX 1 on deck 1, and it wouldn’t light up to signal it being on. But if I messed with the parameter knob, it would then light up- then if I turn it off, it would just stay on until I moved the parameter again.
I bought the plugable 3.0 USB HUB that was recommended on one of the DJTT blog/articles, so maybe I’m doing something wrong?
I plugged the X1 into a non 3.0 USB and it worked flawlessly… so now I’m completely confused. Isn’t USB 3.0 backwards compatible? Should I return the 3.0 plugable for a 2.0 version (or find another one?). I have a Denon DN-X1600 coming in soon, as well as an F1 and want to make sure everything is running no issues on current PC config. I haven’t done the ASIO driver yet because I’m still looking for the article with the driver links etc to ensure the right one, but can this be the issue?
What sample size is your latency set at? I would guess this is a audio latency issue, not a USB one. Have you tried plugging the X1 into the computer directly?
Sample rate is 48000 Hz (using my PC internal soundcard and it won’t let me change the rate). The latency is 480 (didn’t change this at all).
I plugged the X1 into a 2.0 USB on my PC and it works fine, really well actually. When I plugged it into a 3.0 USB on my PC, it acted kind of wonky again.
Yes I have. All drivers up to date. 3.0 drivers up to date. X1 drivers up to date. Controller Editor up to date. Only thing not up to date is Traktor bc I’m running the demo version until my TSP2 arrives.
Was it an el cheapo usb 3.0 hub, or something decent. I learned a hard lesson with one of my raspberry pi projects recently. The hub I bought was only pushing 1.5 amp after the split, leaving each port in the hub to float around 1.1 to 1.2. Thumb drives would work fine, but there wasn’t enough juice for any midi devices.
Damn man. I had the same hub and never had any issues. If you are running an Intel K series cpu with UEFI, disable intel turbo boost in UEFI Bios settings. It plays hell with audio software.
I have Etron 3.0 USB ports on the back of my Asrock MOBO. Pretty annoying lol; probably going to return it and get the 2.0 one, wasn’t sure if it was a X1 thing or not, since I noticed on the X1 MK2, it has an orange USB plastic plug, vs the black one on the MK1.
Actually trying it again, it works fine UNTIL you load a track and hit play, then it starts getting laggy feedback.
I am overclocked on my i5-2500k and do have boost off already, but thanks for the heads up on that lol.
Did you have the 3.0 HUB? I noticed they also make a 2.0 one.
Why didnt you just say you had an ASRock mobo to begin with. :-p
I had the 3.0 hub, but it collected more dust than my behring cmd controllers do, so I sold it.
In my production rig, I’m running an Asus X99 Deluxe II, Intel i7 5820K (Stable overclock to 4ghz), and 32gb of Corsair Vengeance 3300, with a 128GB Samsung Evo 950 m.2 for the OS. I boot linux and run Win 8.1 pro and OSX within VMWare. I have yet to make the thing do anything it can’t handle.
LOL! ASRock is a bad MOBO? This is the first time I’ve had any issues with it to be honest, but it is quite annoying. I’m actually thinking of experimenting with something like adding another set of 3.0 USB ports to it (not etron) and seeing if it works lol.
Your rig sounds amazing! I want to rebuild mine (it’s about 5 years old now I believe) but decided to invest in some DJ gear lol
