57 freaking out

eightplex 2:49 PM - 7 February, 2012
I usually run a 68 at home but a local bar wanted to start up djing and bought a 57sl a while back. I recently hooked it up to my laptop and the 57sl seemed to freak out after a firmware update. The left channel is echoing a lot without any effects on and the right channel doesn't seem to be working. I hope to troubleshoot it further tonight when I'm home from work but has anyone else seen this?

My guess is you have an effect on the mixer.

To turn off the FX on the 57 you will first need to go to group 6 by pressing the Group button, at which point all the B buttons on the mixer will start flashing, and then press the B6 button.
Once in group 6 you will see two effect inserts on the right side of the virtual representation of the hardware.
A red border will be around the effect insert your currently seeing the parameters for.
From there, turn off any B buttons you see lit up on the mixer.
Once done, press the Deck button on the mixer to jump focus to the second effect insert. Make sure all of the B buttons are turned off there as well.

That did it. How is a 2channel mixer more complicated than the 68!? Thanks. May just stick to the 68 when I play. Don't want to get myself in trouble
