**TRAKTOR SCRATCH calibration problem help??**

Hi, I am having some problems with my Traktor scratch duo software.Sometimes When I hook it up with my turntables the song playing on deck A or B starts going backwards for a few seconds or sometimes it skips. Is this a calibration problem? The calibration usually looks bad and a bit messy… but when I try to calibrate it it always fails. I bought traktor aboit 5 months ago and it worked fine and till now. what else could it be?

Thank you

check the bit rate in audio settings and make sure it matches what you have ur interface set to…i.e. both should either be 44.1 or 48…etc

Clean needles, clean records, check connections, if all else fails, reinstall traktor.
