MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

Hi.
I got DVS 7 and from some time i got weird problems with Mixvibes.

I play form vinyls on Technics 1200 & new needles & got Win XP & Msi laptop. I use drivers ESI 1.0.39 for U46 MK2 soundcard.

First thing is that bypass option doesn't work. When i play from time coded vinyls and when i click on bypass symbol i don't hear that special noise from Mixvibes vinyls. I tried to reinstall Mixvibes but bypass option doesn't work.

Second thing.
When i make install wizard and calibrate vinyls i save my settings with mp3 playlist. I read that when i start Mixvibes i can load my settings to Mixvibes and i don't have to make install wizard again. In my MV i have to make new calibrations over & over.

Third thing.
When i got calibrated vinyls on left deck when i play some track everything goes normal. But when i stop vinyl track on MV is going like i was scratching. Track goes backward and forward in couple miliseconds.
But on right deck when i stop playing vinyl track goes backward - with the same tempo like the track is played on vinyl.
It looks like i was playing vinyl backwards. But the track is doing this on it's own.

Fourth thing.
I reinstalled MV and when i play on 5 milisecnods latency tracks are glitching like i had to low latency but i had every program turn off and my Win is reinstalled & fresh.

What can be the cause of my problems ?
Maybe my soundcard is broken (U46 MK2) or my vinyls are to old - i have them from 1 year when i bought MV. Or maybe my laptop is broken or something else.

Please help.

You should use the latest drivers which are the MV 3.0 available in the download center (remove ESI ones before !).
What are the specs of your laptop ?

You should update your DVS to the latest one or test the latest rc.

mp3 playlists ? no you can only import/export them.
You need to use the mediabase if you want things to be as you left them.

You clearly have noise into your inputs disturbing the signal, check connections and settings.

You already have issue with the timecode so you can't have such latency for now and it also depend on your computer specs.

On 7.3 & on 7.4 Mixvibes is doing the same problems. And on 7.2 also.

Got MSI AMD 1.6 Ghz, 2 Mb Ram, 120 GB drive.

My mistake - i'm doing like you wrote.

Yes i'm having only one profile - admin.

On CD i don't have any problems.
I must check decks.

When i check everything i write what's going on.

Maybe everything will fix itself.


EDIT

I changed drivers on 3.0 & everything works fine.
Drivers where the bad ones.

you use a netbook not a computer search messages in this forum about eepc tuning and tune your computer for... get rid of services as msn wifi antivirus & so on.

OK, you said it works now... fine.

To get it clear for all the others who are reading this:

I think the problem was not the driver itself but the input level of the soundcard you can change in the driver's panel. In version 3.x the input is pre-set to maximum, in the older ones to minimum afaik. This is why your CD-timecode was fine when Vinyl wasn't. For CD you have to lower the input-level. For vinyl you also have to switch off the preamp (switch to LINE because the RIAA-filter ruins the timecode when playing very slow) and put input-level to the max.
