Ok so I forked out for some new TTs and the Virtual Vinyl Kit...$1200+ in total.
I got it all home last night and tried to set it up but I have to say it is working less than fantastic.
Plugging in the soundcard would hang my system, even with all other devices unplugged. However I got around this by plugging in the soundcard before I turned on the pc, and I was able to install it. Not off to a good start tho!
After installing cue I went to my timecode setup and tried to configure both my vinyls. 1 Deck was giving me 100% constant but the other was all over the place. I tried swapping the needles and this seems to have helped a bit. After running it for a bit longer I had a better waveform and the signal was a bit more constant.
I threw a couple of tracks on and the sound was terribly distorted. Took a me a few goes but I managed to fix this by plugging the outputs from the soundcard into the Line Ins on my mixer instead of the phonos (should it have been plugged into line in anyway?)
The sound from the needle going over the record seems to be very loud (I'm guessing that is the signal right?) - is it meant to be like that? Like unless I've got my speakers up loud enough for the neighbours to hear, you can notice that noise.
Anyway so after I got the signal and the line ins sorted I was playing some tracks when I noticed it seemed to be skipping. I'd have two tracks beatmatched and then all of a sudden one deck would be skipping, it would be moving across 1 or two beats, still on the beat, but moving across, if that makes sense. My hands were no where near it so I don't know how it happened.
I think it was only the right deck as well but I am not sure because I did not have much time to test it. The right deck is the one with the 100% signal, the left had the bad one. Very strange.
Any help plz?!?!?!
Set up:
Stanton T60s with 500B Carts
Stanton 201 Mixer
CUE 4.3
Gen 3 TCV
VV Box Sound Card
Core 2 Duo 2Gig
2Gig RAM
Win XP SP2
Everything is brand new, fresh install of windows, the lot.
TTs are phono to input 1 and 2 on soundcard, then output 1 and 2 to line in 1 and 2 on mixer. TTs are grounded to the soundcard.

Oh and the weight on the tonearm is set at about 2.5 grams.
Latency is Auto.

the needles will make a low hum as this is the signal
it sounds like the card might be conflicting with somthing

as swapping needles worked i think you may need a new set , in the past i had issues with inferior needles with tcv its very important to have good needles for the best quality
