I just got mixvibes to start working tonight. The only problem is, the track will be playing just fine, then it will start skipping back and forth without me moving the vinyl. It seems it will move back and forth in the same section of the vinyl over and over. When i move the needle the vinyl continues to play normal... what am i doing wrong? are my vinyls dirty or something lol.

Check needles and pins connectors.

okay, one turntable actually plays pretty good but the other one does this weird thing. let me explain. It plays normal on the outermost area of the vinyl but once it gets to playing for awhile and it nears the middle more, it starts screwing up and the percentage goes way down. On the grid thing with the circles under preferences, the black circles start dipping in and doing crazy stuff in the first box.

the records look wavy as they are going around too. as if the records were warped or somethin, but the records are new so that couldnt be the case......

Make sure your turntable arms settings arn't affecting the playback performance also- the height should be around 2.5, and the other setting (anti skating control is at zero.)
Also clean your timecode vinyl with 'methalated spirits' and a old toothbrush in the direction of the grooves to get the crap outta there to see if this is part of the problem.
Cheers

And what happen if you put the other vinyl on this turntable ?
and with the other side ?
