Major Problem with Traktor Scratch Pro
Hey all,
I have traktor scrath pro set up with an audio 4 dj(online upgraded it) and my cdjs with timecodes are skipping like crazy.
My setup= 2 NDX 800 CDJS + M6 4 channel mixer
when calibrating the timecodes both of the circles for cds are slanted to the left and the right deck (b) has a different pattern for circles. Everything is screwed up, please somebody help!!!
Did it work with TSP1?
It has never worked, and this is all done in traktor scratch pro (1), i would have specified if it was tsp 2, sorry if i wasnt clear. you can use the decks (ndx800)as midi controllers but i do not want to use them as controllers because of the excess of usb cords involved. I just wanna use time codes, hopefully there is a way to clarify the issue involved…
Post screen grabs of the scopes.
They often show exactly what the problem is.
k sweet how do you take pics lol
you need a screen capture program such as pickpic http://picpick.en.softonic.com/
(thats what i use, free)

pics 2
sorry for the smallness 
any suggestions
I had the same problem!
My cd decks wernt outputting a clean enough timecode signal and it was skipping everywhere.
this solved the issue for me:
Copy the traktor timecodes to your PC. Track 2 is the main timecode you need
Convert the track to an MP3 (i used Audacity)
Burn the MP3’s to a CD as an MP3 cd.
reboot everything and try with the new MP3 timecodes. (dont forget to calibrate the CD everytime you boot traktor. I sometimes have to calibrate a few times before its recognising a clean CD signal)
yeah i tried doing that, i have a mac btw, do you suggest i should uninstall traktor? what about the fact that i upgraded online?
hmm, im a mac user too.
I did do a reinstall when i was debugging but it was the MP3 trick that finally solved my issues.
From what i understand Traktor 2 is a completely different application than the original so the route used to obtain the program shouldnt be an issue (but i could be wrong. im new to Traktor completely, only started using 2 weeks ago wiv TSP2)
At this point i can only suggest the usual things, latency checks, disable master tempo, disable keylock. Try differant USB port for the sound card. Change cables.
might be worth trying some differant cables. I had a dead RCA that came with my TSP2 which was a bit dissapointing.
this is for TSP 1 btw
*Download the 0.0.2 timecode from the NI Service Center and burn the .wav tracks directly as audio CDs (with a 0 second gap in between tracks of course).
This updated version fixes skipping issues on some CD decks.
*Make sure key lock is OFF on your decks. Further, if your decks have any effects built-in, make sure they are OFF.
yeah tried doing that with wav and mp3 decks, 0 gap in between(reads as unknown medium). cant find it on native instruments support center so i got it via google. il check key lock/how to turn it off and try running it while effects are off, where is it located on NI, all they had was tsp 1.27 update under downloads
still not working
OT- How do u like those decks?
really legit for the price, not pioneer standards, wish the cue buttons were like those of pioneers. but all in all great decks
