Topic: MIxtrack Pro Headphones distortion

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

Not sure if anyone can help me with this.

I just bought a Numark Mixtrack pro (the one with the soundcard output).

My setup looks like this:

Macbook pro
Mixtrack Pro
External Audio interface - Saffire Pro 40 plugged by firewire into the macbook pro
Headphones plugged to Mixtrack pro (to hear the cue)

In virtual DJ:
Advanced config:
Master : Saffire Pro 40 Outputs 1&2
Headphones: Mixtrack Pro Outputs 3&4

The sound coming out of the headphones is fine for a few minutes. Then it starts to get distorted, and then it completely disappears.
Now, I've read online that I should use the output of the Mixtrack Pro and plug it directly to the speakers. But the sound is really bad and I don't want to do it. The sound coming out of the Saffir pro 40 is much better.

Id like to know if there was a software solution to this, either it be drivers, configuration o any other alternatives.

THanks!

I would advice you to use the actual Pro Full.

The only way to use our actual version is to register your licence under your account.
Only then aou will be able to download it at anytime and as often you wnt from your download center.

Also because of the Mixtrack Pro hold a great buildin soundcard, i would advice you to use this soundcard ONLY
This is the recomended use for VDJ and Mixtrack Pro!

If you use two separate sound cards on Mac then you will get distortion if the two cards don't exactly match (Same bit rate and sample rate) or are incompatible with each other. Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Distortion%20when%20using%20two%20sound%20cards.html

However, as above, you shouldn't need to use two separate sound cards because the MixTrack Pro already has its own multi-channel DJ sound card built-in. See http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/MixTrack%20Pro.html

If your MixTrack didn't come with VirtualDJ LE, then you will need to purchase the full VirtualDJ Professional to use it. If you have not purchased VirtualDJ Pro then please support the software and its future development by purchasing it: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html (Especially if you are working DJ and are making money as a result of using it at your gigs.) Your VIrtualDJ LE serial number should entitle you to a discount off the cost of upgrading (Providing that it's not second hand and has not already been used.)

Otherwise if you have already purchased it, please register your Pro serial number on your profile page http://www.virtualdj.com/users/edit.html and then download the latest version from the Download Center: http://www.virtualdj.com/download/updates.html
