Hi everyone, I just bought Scratch Live and can't wait to get stuck in, but I noticed that there is a mains hum when I switch the system across to normal phono, can anyone help me to understand why and how to get rid of it? I have my decks connected to the ground wires as normal.

Thanks

Do you have your SSL box overlapping any power cables or strips? If so try moving it away from them.

Thanks Konix, it was a schoolboy error, I had the SSL box on top of my amp, I've moved it away now and all is well!
