Another Stupid Question For You Guys...

DJ CON-STRUC 5:34 AM - 19 November, 2009
Ok... so i'm the unlucky dj with recent laptop issues

scratchlive.net

scratchlive.net

So here is what happened (keep in mind that i'm dumber than a pile of bricks when it comes to computers and sound cards and all that shit) I got a mac and I'm still having issues. The first time I opened serato after putting in the usb, that freezing waveform disappearing bullshit happened to me. Then I re opened it and started playing a track on my left deck and everything sounded good. Then I played a track on my right deck and It was all fuzzy and slowed down after 10-20 seconds. I thought it was my needle so I cleaned it and that did't help. After that I put the right deck on internal mode and It was still fuzzy and slowed down after 10-20 seconds again!!

WTF?! So here is my question... Is it possible that my serato box is fucked? its about a year and a half old. I thought it may be my turntable but it plays just fine on my other computer. If my sl1 is fucked then I'm gonna return the mac and get a 57 cuz my pc has worked flawless up until now.

I think you should open a help request at the support section of the site: scratchlive.net
Then you will get the help you need.

That is rediculous man, I am sorry you are having so many issues with it. I would recommend calling one of the Help guys tomorrow, they will be able to help you out.

check for corrupt files?
DJ CON-STRUC 9:02 AM - 19 November, 2009
I have not came across any... the tracks that i were playing i know were not corrupt. I played a couple different ones to make sure.

DJ CON-STRUC 9:44 AM - 19 November, 2009
I'm using 1.9 i did calibrate but its weird cuz like i said... the track played all fuzzy and slow even in internal mode. I am so confused

check your rca's

what NoNseNse said, you probably have them connected backwards or on the wrong inputs.

def. the rca's cable. I've had a similar problem before

to make it more clear, get some new rca cables and try it
