Problem again

[christiankoopmann]

Hey,

so we can say that the rca cable from the turntable to the soundcard is ok. when you unpluged it from the soundcard and connected to the mixer.

i have noticed is that the 2 channels of my mixer are on line not on phono

When you connect your soundcard outputs to the mixer it is correct you need to plug them into a line-input. Phone input is needed on the inputs of your soundcard for your turntable.

On DVS you should there set Vinyl and also enable PHONE. Then press play on your turntable and drop the cartridg on it. Then you press calibration on the DVS screen.
What happens than?

Do you mean to click the phono botton on the program? i didnt understand you at all, the outputs of the soundcard are plucked to the mixer on line channels (both) and the rca cable from the turntable is connected to input 2 (R andL) and the rca cable from cdj is plucked on input 1 (L and R) , and outputs of my mixer are connected to the speaker, so now you know my connectios what i am supose to do?

Hey

the question with the connection between soundcard and mixer was because I don't know how I interpret the sentence.

one thing that i have noticed is that the 2 channels of my mixer are on line not on phono

The outputs of the soundcard to the mixer should connected to the line. I didn't understand your sentence for what it was the analog mixer or the internal "Mixer" where you set your inputs for your DVS timecode.

And with the one test I want to check if your cable between the turntable and the soundcard is OK. And as you said is there everything ok. So the problem is on the soundcard / driver / configuration of the software.

one more thing, on the u.mix44 soundcard when your are using a cdj or a turntable, the light on imputs is suposed to be on, but the light of input 1 (cdj) is on but the light of input 2 (turntable) is off, what does it means? and outputs lights are off, and i think that i have seen them on sometime, i dont know.

Hey,

I'm not so familiar with the U-Mix44 but as I know this leds show you that there is a signal coming. The led is lighning green when the sound is ok and red when the input-level is too high. So when the one chennel not lights up in one of the colors your cable or the input a/d decoder is defect.

so if i reinstall the program? one week ago it was ok, maybe is a configuration problem as you said, if might be caused for a bad tonearm calibration of the turntable?

[christiankoopmann]

When you have a "bad tone arm" configuration the sound can make bad sound. But why is your tone arm bad configurated? set the right weight for the neadle and set anti-skating (when it is a s-arm). But then sound should come into DVS that you have there a wave in the window of the Calibration screen for Timecode. You said that there is a plane white line no sinus-waves. And you wrote that sound is comming when you unplug the input cable from the soundcard to the mixer and test what there is coming out (this PIEP tone).
So the problem could be the soundcard or the driver from the soundcard. have you tested reinstalling the drivers from the U-Mix? with a cleaning the registry after deinstalling? (CCleaner is a good program which allows you also to save the old registry before changing the current - is important when a error occures then start the reg you saved and everything should work normal like before - theoretical).

What happens when you twist your input devices? so on input channel 1 is for exmaple your turntable and on channel 2 the CDJ. When you twist the cables so the cdj is now on channel 1 and the turntable on channel 2. What happens then? Is now channel 1 or 2 not working or is it still the same channel?

This test could help to determine the single point of failure . or maybee more errors^^.

I have reinstall the program and the drivers(whithout ccleaner) and all is still the same, then i have switched the outputs and inpunts of the sound device and the inputus of the mixer (in multiple combinations) and its still the same, the turntable didnt work and the cdj yes, its a normal problem or is a very rare one? all my equiptment is on warranty, what do you think it isnt working the sound device, the cartridge, the turntable...

[christiankoopmann]

Hey,

when you connect the turntable directly to the mixer and there is sound comming is the turntable not defective.

When you changed the input connection (INput 1 = CDJ, Input 2 = Turntable) and you switched it to (Input 1 = Turntable, Input 2 = CDJ) and the problem is still that the turntable is not working, then I thing it is a problem of the driver/soundcard that your signal is not correctly "decoded".

What's the name and the product specification of your turntable? Like Stanton ST-150 or Techniks 1210 MK2 and so on. But I don't think that this the problem. Is there still no input when you connect to one of the inputs the Turntable? I mean that in DVS is still the "window" where the signal is shown a plane line?

What you can test: Install Audacity or an other Sound recorder.
Start it and select your U-Mix44 and select as input source the turntable input (when connected to input 1 then choose one and if 2 so choose the input channel 2) and start playing the vinyl. And Record it. When there is a signal comming and it sounds normal then you have a problem in MixVibes. If you have no signal (also when the input volume is on the maximum) then it could be that your soundcard is broken so you should contact your vendor for the guarentee.

This the only methode to check if the soundcard is the problem.
To test if it is the turntable connect the tt directly with your mixer in the phone input and start playing vinyl and when there is a sound the turntable is working normal (when it is a plane "piep" tone).

You should try with one deck at a time so we can spot the weak point in the chain.
- does the cdj work on both side ? if yes then the soundcard is ok
- the tt doesn't work at all on both of the inputs, so there is something wrong with the tt.
- what is the name & model of this tt ?
- does it have line or digital outputs or master tempo/key feature ?
