i just bought a mix deck ran the install serato intro cd installed it had the mix deck hooked up an set to usb midi but my virtual decks not showing up my playlist and everything is showin just cant get the 2 virtual decks to show cause its still saying hardware disconnected i read a couple threds tried them cant get it to come up cant some1 help me out thanks
Hey Carlton have you put the mixdeck into midi mode? To do this press "SOURCE" and turn the parameter knob to select "USB-MIDI." Does the Mac see the Mixdeck in system preferences as a USB device? You should see you USB list refresh when the unit is plugged if the Mixdeck is working correctly.
So you do see the Mixdeck working fine in your device list? Are you saying you have the Mixdeck selected as the device in Serato and the input/outputs/midi is all set? The only issue you are having is the decks syncing?
Are you using the latest update of Serato Intro? Is the mixdeck in midi mode before you open Intro? Are you using a USB hub? Are there, or have you had, multiple USB audio/midi devices installed or plugged into your system?
yea am using the latest serato intro, i have tried opening it up in midi mode also before opening intro, no am not using any hubs or ontly other devices i used was the vestax 300 an the sl1 box sl3 & the 57 mix all worked flawless just havin problems getting the mix deck to connect am getting ready to give up

i saw u asked if am sure i have Mixdeck selected as the device in Serato and the input/outputs/midi is all set? how do i check that i think i did all that also but how can i check it again to make sure i went the right way
You will have serato preferences and system preferences. Serato won't have many options as it is the Intro edition. Make sure they both say the Mixdeck as the source for input and output. Secondly make sure a driver from the Vestax is not conflicting with your new Mixdeck. A good tool to use to find these unused drivers is a "registry cleaner."
am beginning to think my mix deck has a factory fault think i gonna have to take it back to where i bought it from i tried playing an audio cd it reads plays but wen i turn on the scratch feature the cd stop playing wen i touch the platter and hold my finger on it plays again until i take it off or turn the scratch off it will not scratch either
Yeah? Thats not supposed to do that. You should only have speed/search control when scratch is off. I would swap it out at you retailer if possible. If not you can always give us a call at Numark.
If you are sure it was responding to CDs the way you described above, regardless of how it is acting now, I would swap it out for 'peace of mind'. You don't want buggy features in the future.
i found out what the problem was at the radio station i play to the surge protector might have had a grounding problem causing the scratch not to work properly it only did that when i plug in to that else where it works fine my problem still stands with the serato dj intro hardware still not connecting
Heres a random trick to try if you have an old laptop and usb ports on both sides. Take a thumb drive (can be blank) and try to plug it in next to the Mixdeck if there is a parallel port available. Also If you are using a external hard drive try switching it to the other side. Sometimes a port can affect the speed/communication of another port. Try a few combination to see if acts differently. Did you try the 'registry cleaner'?
yes i have tried it nothing still i tried vdj pro it works find i got traktor it works both perfect dont know what's causing serato dj intro not to connect an work
It doesn't show up in the Serato Intro settings at all? Not sure why every other software would see it but Intro won't. Have you tried a complete uninstallation of Intro and reinstalling it?
nah nothing i tried everything it worked the 1st time i got it and when i had that lil problem with it not working properly because of the ground problem with the serge protector i uninstalled it an the driver an every since it dont show up
If you reinstalled both of them make sure you have no duplicate software or drivers. If you installed a different version of the driver your computer won't always overwrite the other and your system will be confused.
finally i got it up & going don't know why it work with the Numark_MixDeck_Driver_2.0.2 cause my system is running 10.5.8 but i kept at it an it finally connected am up an running on serato dj intro thanks for youl time and help again
ok my intro is working fine now just having problems now with audio dropping out at times when i select a song to start a mix it just stops for bout 5sec then continues i don't have the wifi on neither the bluetooth while am using intro it doesn't do for every song but it does it wen least expected lil embarrassing while people are on the floor any ideas
Everything works perfect except for the visual platters freezing and audio going out for 1-2 seconds every minute or so. it has been like this since iconnected it out of the box and continues to do so with all the upgrades and optimizations. i have been with this issue for 2 weeks now. please help
Carlton, if you have done everything Serato suggest for computer optimization try looking at your source for music. Make sure you are using a different hard drive or partition for you music. Also make sure that drive is not fragmented.
DonGato, do all your usb ports act this way? Where do you keep your music?
If you have a large music collection I would recommmend keeping it on a different hard drive or partitioned section of a drive. This will help with buffering dropouts. You do have internet/wifi/firewalls off correct?
I ve been on the phone with numark for 2.5 weeks now, nothing has helped. I have also been back and forth thru email and have been provided luandry list of updates and optimizations to do and none have worked. Is there any techs in Miami area or can I fly up to Rhode Island to get this issue resolved.
