I am having a lot of trouble trying to get my crossfader to work as it should in vdj8. The video here below shows when i push the crossfader to the extreme right to close channel 1, it bounces back on its own on virtual dj and ends up opening that channel slightly, yet on the crossfader on the controller has closed that channel.

This is quite funny as I am not experiencing this when I close channel 2 by moving the crossfader to the left. It behaves correctly and doesnt bounce back on virtual dj. The issue appears to be only when I move the crossfader to the right.

What could be the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Get some contact spray into XF, I take it you are unaware that XFaders are consumable items?

Honestly I was unaware. You mean open up the controller and clean the crossfader with the contact cleaner?

Probably, crossfaders do break and it shouldn't be too difficult to get in to give it a blast. Sometimes contact cleaner will sort it, sometimes a replacement XF is needed.

No problem, the technical name for the problem is "fader bleed" at some point you'll have to replace the Xfader.
