Hey guys,
I’ve been on these forums quite a bit lately, looking for advice on how to help me set up my 2 Denon DNS-1200’s as software controllers for Traktor Duo 2. After hours of searching and trying different things I have managed to get everything to work how I want it to;which is have the 2 controllers, and use an external mixer on 2 seperate channels.
The problem arises with the distortion of the songs. I’ve seen others have had similar problems but their solution hasn’t worked for my problem.
My ASIO4all Setup:
My Audio Setup:
My Output Routing:
If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I changed the latency and the same problem is occurring. I’m not quite sure what you mean by optimize your PC? Could you explain further?

So far I have tried changing from internal/external mixer, switching the built in soundcard options and the audio device. I have gone into device manager and check the USB settings and the playback options turning off the Exclusive mode options.
At one point the sound was clear, however this was only when the two decks would play through one channel rather than two seperate.
Alright I did everything on the list given, and reducing the Asio Buffer size helped a little bit, but the lag/stutter is still evident, and if I bring it too low then it becomes distorted and scratchy. After checking DCplat and LatencyMod I found that the problem lies somewhere in there. When I have only one CD player selected in ASIO4all I have all green for DCplat and there is no lagging. But when both are selected then I begin to get yellow and even red sometimes. After checking the LatencyMod I found that USBPORT.SYS is far higher than any other driver.
Alright, so I tried the USB Hub and the usage is still immense in comparison to other drivers. that is USBPORT.sys. Also, when the cd player is plugged in from the hub to the computer it doesn’t get any information sent to it, the screen just reads “PC MODE Completed!”
EDIT: When the two mixers are plugged into the hub, the usage of the USBPORT.sys driver actually drops dramatically (From 1.8 to about .107, in LatencyMon) The only problem is that I still get no signal sent from the program to the CD players even though they show up under ASIO4all and my Output Routing.
Alright so I noticed that the problem seems to be with ASIO4all. If I select a different Audio Device then the song will play as it normally does, but I can only get one controller to be sent to the mixer, rather than having both, which is why I used ASIO in the first place. Any help???
I think the issue is trying to use these two different sound cards for each individual channel. Why not just use the Numark channels for each deck and not the Denons?
The decks are being used as MIDI controllers, right? So they have just telling the software what to do. The mixer would handle the audio all in itself.
And in the audio settings you’d set your mixing to external, and designate each deck to a different set of outs on the mixer. This part I’m a little shaky on but double check it in the manual to be sure.
