[EN][Cross] Calibration bug

[hemskoc]

*Calibration Display bug...The calibration works fine, but i get an error "the deck playing speed is not1(ie pitch 0)please reset it & retry" in the calibration window.
After the pressing calibrate button, and after the pause, the timecode quality drops suddenly to 70-80%, then creeps back up to the 90's everytime.

It displays 95-100% read with the control vinyl, and it tracks fine without a reset.

Phono or line on the soundcard ?
Now we use only line (without RIAA)

[hemskoc]

i am just running it from my phono output setting on my tables, using phono settings in Cross - my soundcard(FA66) does not have this switching option, BUT my tables (stanton str8-100) DO have line and phono options switch Outputs...

should i switch my tables to line outs, and the Cross settings to line input aswell?
I was just folowing DJegun intructions :"We now recommend to not use any external phono preamp (i.e. featuring RIAA correction) for the vinyl control input. You must choose "Phono" input level in the preferences and let Cross deal with the raw input signal.
The more your soundcard amplify the input (i.e. hardware preamp without RIAA correction), the better will be the timecode analysis.
Cross applies an RIAA correction in "bypass mode" (Line Input on the Cross mixer) so that you can play regular vinyls as previously"

Do not use any RIAA hardware

[Support@MixVibes]

Certainly not !

Here are the official word

*Set the U46MK2's input selectors to 'Line'. We recommend to not use any external phono preamp (i.e. featuring RIAA correction) for the vinyl control input. You must let Cross deal with the raw input signal: so use your vinyl decks without phono preamp.

And the line/phono selector in Cross has gone...

yeah i use phono, and just tried again and got the same notification
cheers

@hemskoc: Yes as the turntables themselves apply RIAA filtering, best to leave this off as they mention

On topic, this problem also happens for me, however not on the first calibration after opening the software. It seems to occur after perhaps a few changes in the settings, and a recalibration. I'll try and find an easy step to reproduce this scenario.
