Was looking some expertise on an issue I have with my rekordbox control vinyl.
I have a DDJ-RZ with a reloop RP-7000 TT. Cartridge I’m using is Ortofon Pro S.
Everything on TT is calibrated correctly. I’ve calibrated the DVS scope but the circles still look a little distorted. Although playback and audio is fine.
But the issue I’m getting is that the BPM is fluctuating on its own randomly about +1/-1 BPM whenever the vinyl is being played.
Its impossible to beat match as the song is slightly going slower and faster all the time.
Would anyone know what’s causing this?
Tracking issuse? Or dodgy stylus maybe?
Or the cartridge im using?
I’ve raised the issue at pioneer and seems a few people have had this issue, although pioneer don’t seem quick with an answer.
Not sure what the wow and flutter is like on RP7000 but when using a record player the speed is constantly variating, not normally as much as ±1% though.
Is it actually fluctuating that much or is that what rekordbox is telling you? Don’t rely on bpm figures
When you use real records can you hear the speed fluctuating.
For what it’s worth, I use the RP7000s also, and had no problem using timecode vinyl when I had Traktor.
So the problem is either with the software (I’ve enver used Rekordbox DVS so can’t comment on it), or something to do with your setup somewhere. But the TTs themselves are solid and the pitch should not vary that much if everything is set up and calibrated correctly.
