I am getting a clipping/popping sound when I scratch quickly with my 1200s. There's no usb drop outs when I hear the noise. I've changed the usb buffer size to every setting just in case and I still have this problem. My levels are not in the red either. I can send you an audio recording of an example of whats occurring. Thanks so much for the help.

Update:
After trying to recreate the problem while using Scratch Live I don't have the problem anymore. This is upsetting because I really enjoy using Serato DJ

I am using firmware 2.14 for my 62 also

I've noticed it may be resulting from the Pitch in Time plugin. If this is an issue let me know.

The Pitch N Time plugin is really resource intensive.
You can try boosting the USB audio buffers in both SDJ and within the 62's preference pane via System Preferences but if that doesn't work I would just disable keylock at least when scratching.
