Topic: Numark NS7 II -One deck slower than the other

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

While doing a live event last weekend, I noted that deck 2 was slightly slower than deck 1, and with time, the deck 2 slowly drifted away from my sync. I constantly had to nudge deck 1 to keep it in sync.

The BPM on active decks 1 and 2 was exactly the same. Has anyone experienced this?

I am using VDJ 8 on Windows and a Numark NS 7 II controller

Does this happens with every track you have been loading or just with some specific oneĀ“s ?

Happens on every track, including when I clone a track from deck 1 to 2 - it slowly drifts away

VirtualDJ is not controlling the speed of the platters. It only reads the playing speed.
This means that if for any reason one of the platters has s slightly different speed (due e.g to a mechanic or powering issue), a track may play slower or faster than the other.
I am afraid that with the current motorwheel implementation, there is not much we can do.

I got to recreate the issue last weekend. This happens when i plug a line in on line in 4. When I unplugged the line and restarted the controller, it became OK.

Interesting. However, it appears that its more like a hardware/powering issue.
