Topic: Pending TCV signal quality -> glitches in the sound - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

I searched the forum and found another guy asking the same thing:

"I was wondering about a couple other things. Do you find that the meter on your screen for the TCV signal quality goes up and down quite a bit. In other words, the signal quality doesn't stay at 100%?"

Basically I'm wondering about the same thing, but my problem seems to be a bit more severe since the TVC signal quality pends from 0% to 100% about 5 times every 10 seconds which causes glitches in the sound obviously! Only on one of my turntables though, always the same one!!!!!!

The answer the other guy got went something like: "if possible try to boost your asio buffer on your soundcard a little bit it wont always stay at 100 but if it changes rapidly and sounds unstable that is not normal and is bad."

Well I guess in my case it's bad! =)

Should I set the "soundcard latency" in the performance tab to "auto" and boost my asio buffer in "asio config" under the "sound setup" tab? Or what do you sugguest I do? By the way, to "boost the asio buffer" means to for example set it to 512 instead of 256, right? It's not the other way around?

Thanks for all the good answers I got earlier today, in another matter. Even though I'm still a trial version user I appreciate you guys helping me.... As I said before, you have to try it and make sure it's stable and everything before you buy it...

Thanks / Nicklas

have u chosen latency Auto on the proformance tab?
 
Posted Fri 15 Dec 06 @ 10:17 am
Yes, it's set to auto. And under "asio config" I set my soundcard buffer size to 512.

seems to look ok, you might want to try 256, 128 in the asio settings, the lower the number the lower the latency. when the % goes from 100-->0 does the music stay playing? or are you getting sound drops?

yeh try a lower buffer there it apears to be reporting an overload
 
Posted Fri 15 Dec 06 @ 2:35 pm
I will try that. When it goes to 0% i get sound drops, it doesn't completely stop playing.

Thanks, I'll report soon.

Disable "Master Tempo" and "Smart Cue" to test at first
 
Posted Sat 16 Dec 06 @ 11:44 am
When I use a higher buffer size level like 1024 it works a bit better, and disabeling master tempo and smart cue were also good tips but I STILL HAVE GLITCHES in my sound and I can visually see them as they occur when the TCV signal quality goes down to 50% or often even 0% as I said before. So I know it's because of the bad signal but what exatcly controls that? What can I do? Do I need newer better, more expensive needles?
