When ever I place the needle on to the control vinyl I seem to be getting a humming noise in the background. Any idea how to solve this problem? The earth connections on the back of the turntables are connected to the mixer ok.

A humming or a tone?

Is this sound coming out of your speakers or headphones or where?

It's a tone which comes out of the speaker and headphone when the needle is on the vinyl.

Sounds like you possibly have your source switches (at the top of mixer the black ones)selected to the thru so you're hearing the control tone off the control vinyls, switch those over to the USB and you should be able to hear your audio files from scratch live. Use the thru mode when you are playing traditional vinyl.
