i recently purchased new blue control vinyl from guitar center last week....i took them out of the case to make sure that they looked straight and that they were not warped......once i got home and put them on my turntable, the tracking was horrible...my signal got maybe 7/8 of the way full but the sound was horrible as if there was lint on the needle....i put on my regular black vinyl and i put on a scratch record and both sounded great so i need to know if i am doing something wrong with these vinyls

Are you still getting circles in the calibration screen? Does it read 100% signal?

Calibration should be the first place to look when having deck control issues.

my signal reads 100% and my circle is more of a egg shape that goes outside of the window...

If you flip the records over did it make a difference? Did both records have the same issue? Or just one did?
DJ General Mealz 11:11 PM - 12 October, 2011
both sides had the same issue.....and i have two records and both are doing the same

Wierd. As soon as you play your old vinyl - its works just fine?

Ive never seen this before but I guess it could just be a set of bad vinyl..
DJ General Mealz 11:16 PM - 12 October, 2011
yes... i use the controls that came with the box....also i use scratch records and both work fine.....but the vinyl doesnt appear warped thats why i am confused
