"Miaowing" Traktor Pro...?

“Miaowing” Traktor Pro…?

Hi guys,

please, listen this record:
http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/62386112/file.html

Do you hear something like “miaow” in this record?
I can’t play with this…

What can I do - re-install Traktor? :disappointed:

Thank you very much for reply…

Dunno about miaowing but it sounds like its clipping.

What are you output leveles at in Traktor ?

Pretty sure your in the red.

+1

Karlos Santos:
At Traktor Output Routing (my soundcard is NI A4DJ):

Output monitor:
3: Ch B left
4: Ch B right

Output Master:
1: Ch A left
2: Ch A right

Audio latency is at 2.5 ms

photojojo + dsharps:
Sorry guys, I’m a beginner - how can I fix it?
At Traktor, my Master Volume is set on -8.0 dB and Master Out not displays red…

Just set Master Volume lower…? How much -dB?

is the volume limiter on?

also what’s the track?

BradCee:
Yes, Master Limiter is ON.
Name of track: Mauro Picotto - Motion (Umek Remix)

have you tried turning the limiter off?

Yes, still the same clipping or miaowing…

push your latency up then. go to somewhere above 7ms

BradCee:
Still the same…:disappointed:

It is OK or not, that I’m using Key Lock?

i use key lock and have no problems. try turning it off and see.

what settings do you have key lock on?

No problem without Key Lock :disappointed:

Key Lock Settings:
Quality: ECO at Slow CPU (I have MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz)
Mode: Scratch

what controller are you using? and does it have leds that show volume level/clipping?

with this machine there’s no need to use ECO mode. go highQ.

Exactly what i was about to say.

echo, echo, echo

BradCee:
No, I’m using Vestax VCI-100 SE from DJTechtools…
But it happened to me, even if I had connected Pioneer DJM-400 (and I wasn’t in red) to Traktor 3 @ PC.

ctrld + photojojo + Karlos Santos:
OK.

I find, that this clipping is happens when I play with Key Lock tracks faster, then they originally are. For example this record (at the top of this topic) is almost +3%. Even if I play lower then original track is - sound is electronic shit :open_mouth:
So, I am without problem when I play tracks in original tempo. And…that’s not everytime possible…

What’s the bit rate of the song? Even if the song says 320 and you got it off a blog or something it may still be 128 or worse.
