Hello,

I noticed when I use Pitch n Time dj with my Sixty Two, when I play a song at the VU meter, I pass in the red! Yet in my setup, I active the auto gain 92db weird and if I disable Pitch n time and well I go back in the green. This is weird! Moreover, I feel it makes me more about the deck right: (

Another thing: what is the two usb buffer size? there is one in the setup audio portion and another portion in the device panel! , I'm confused: (

Thank you in advance for your help ;)

I feel this version became a novice with Serato: (

All drivers and firmware are up to date!

Macbook Pro mid-2012, I7 processor 2.3 ghz and with turbo boost to 3.3GHz os x Mavericks, Nvidia gt650m and ati HD4000, Samsung SSD 830 Series 256GB, 4GB SDRAM clocked at 1600mghz.

Are you able to take a video of this occurring? This is strange that this is occurring and I cannot seem to recreate the issue.

- What you can do however is to check the Virtual Deck channel gain to see if they are set at appropriate levels. I have attached an image to show you how to find this.

The "Buffer Size" in the audio control panel adjusts the buffer at a different part of the audio pipeline than the buffer in Serato DJ. Rane recommend that you have this set to 8ms or higher in the audio control panel and adjust the buffer size as per normal in the Serato setup screen.


Cheers

Hello

No news about a possible update pitch n time dj and serato dj come out very soon ???

Thank' s ;)

This weekend, during my service ... I had three times a problem with the button scroll and select title on my sixty two.

The problems were: lag of several seconds between when I turn the knob and the visible line that highlights the crates or songs to tell us our location in serato dj 1.6.

The other problem was the validation with the scroll button to load some titles in the left and right decks ... yet visually serato dj in the title chosen was well highlighted ... but when I validated with the button , it would put me first song crate and not the highlighted line.

Hello, is that the problem of noise has been corrected, when activating the function Dj Pitch N Time ???

Hey DJ Mell 07,

Thanks for your patience here. Through our thorough investigation it appears the issue with the Pitch'n Time DJ is in fact a bug. This bug will not cause a notable difference audibly, it will only enforce an visual change in the software LED meters.

Noticing this issue too. PnT pushes the track level meters into the red when activated.

If you lower the volume for auto gain and re-analyze tracks it stops that from happening.
Entro 3:35 PM - 25 April, 2014
Yes, I guess you could do that. But Mak T suggests it isn't actually affecting gain, just the meter displays for some reason.

oh cool. glad to hear didnt read up enough, thanks for pointing out.
