Topic: Right fader not working on Pioneer DDJ-SB3
I have an SB3 controller and the right fader channel doesn't cut on until I am 3/4 of the way over. Has anyone come across this before? Is there a software setting in Virtual DJ that needs changing?

I have asked in other forums and the only two responses I get back are switch to Serato (not happening) or buy a more expensive controller (also not happening).

It works fine otheriwse.

some styles of faders are consumables, they can break over time with normal use, try blasting it it compressed air or contact cleaner.

It's new, but I'll give it a try.

there's nothing in vdj that would effect one deck but not another, unless it was purposely scripted that way.

Amazon refunded me for the controller, but also didn't require me to send it back. If I could get that to work, I would have a free controller and that would be sweet lol.

They'll be YT videos on how to replace the fader [right side is reportedly easier than the left] And the parts are cheap.
Good luck.

Also use the VDJ Pioneer DDJ-SB3 Mapper Tab to see the values the fader outputs. They should be, from 0.00 to 1.00 for that fader as it moves from the bottom to top of its range. If that fader is outputting that range then it is working correctly. (and compare to the correctly working faders on the controller)

Does it work correctly with Serato ?
