I got some problem with Timecode CDing.

In absolute mode, CUE and loop don't want to work. I used CDJ-800 MK2. It sarts and stop nicely, but cue is not finely working, and pitch reaction time is way more that with vynils
I'm using Cross
The soundcard is a U-Mix 44.
The CD says its for DVS Pro, but as far as I know, it should work either softwares.

My theory is, that my soundcard is too sensitive, and the CD-s line singnal ovverruns the soundcard input. I had the same experience with regular line-input, wich sounded very poor, untill I turned it down to be a proper sound level for the card.
Because of this, the software my not get a proper timecode signal.

Any Ideas?

It works very nicely with Vynil timecoding, but I wanna use CD-s.

have you made shure that the input of the u-mix44 is lowered in the software-panel? (Windows-Prefs)

It doesn't change the result. Not even with the drive or with Cross either. The card in characteristics is oversensitive. I had tests with that, lately.
The question is can it be a timecode problem.

In the test I use the USB soundcard, from the U-Mix DJ set, and ran winamp from it. Then I connected that card into the U-Mix 44 input 1&2. After that I set Cross deck A to Line-IN, and started winamp. Whatever I tried via sw the sound was awfully distored. So I set back everything and lowred the Winamp volume. I got the best result at Winamp volume set to 4%!!!. So that is how sensitive my card is...

I'm sure now you understand the problem.

Serial: I use my friend's Cross, to try for 1 month, so I can decide to get my own, or not (definitely will ). Also with the timecode stuff is his stuff, just to test out.

you have a good best friend return the favor and have him serial

I won't mess around with other's Serial.

@Daniel: I'll give him some Cereal, with some hot milk for breakfast:D

STILL, nobody has the idea, about this timecode CD problem mentioned above. Seriously i need to know.

something doesnt make sence,,are you referering to the usb sound doggle frome U-Mix, which is the same frome home 7 me thinks you are doubling amplifying you inputs

refering to have him regerster his software

@Daniel - Bad Post editing Hard to figure out what you said.

It was an example for how sensitive is U-Mix 44.

But still no ideas about my problem.
I'm waiting for a helpful post that someone else experienced the same, or has any clue about this.

So please stop writing post that don't make sense.

Have you thought of a driver issue? To me distorted sound, if it is not analog noise" refers often to driver issues. Which Cross version are you testing? I could read j-kut's thread in which he describes similar issues but he is on a Mac (maybe it is not OS related?!).

Cheers,

Steve

P.S.: If you get this issue sorted buy Cross it rocks

Wow, from the man of smileys himself, this feels kinda like a knightly accolade
