everything works great, but I notice that deck B on my DN Hc5000 drifts a little. I can compensate with the pitch controller but I was just wondering if there is something I can calibrate.

Hi Unclejoe.

Do you mean if you have two tracks (maybe test with the same track on both virtual decks) and they are at the same pitch position, there is some drifting out ? Can you please tell me how long it takes to drift in the above test, and how far it goes?


Just checking you adjusted the Pitch Range so both pitch sliders have the same range?
(Hold down the PITCH RANGE button for more than 1 second to change.)

Also make sure you are doing everything in this article:

Let me know how you get on.
Cheers.

I do a lot of blending/beat matching and I noticed the drift. I've triied using a double of the same track and the drift is there. It starts within 5 sec of setting the match. I will try different set ups (USB latency settings and switch the usb inputs) t

Cool. The easiest way to see where the problem occurs is to get the same track on both sides, this will show if it's hardware, data throughput, or software related.

Cheers!

Hey Matt-C,

I had a double gig this weekend with the HC 5000 and it went flawlessly, on one gig I used a non powered usb hub (drift was slight) at the next gig I went direct with no noticible drift. Guess I'll invest in a powered usb hub. I'm about to purchase the DN D4500 and use the cd/mp3 unit as back up.
