M-AUDIO AND THE "NICE IDEA, SHAME ABOUT THE DRIVERS" SAGA CONTINUES:
Sraight out the box, no net access to update my drivers so take note M-AUDIO!!
Been at it 4 hours now, need a break, nice diagram on the inside of the
Vinyl cover, a mirror realy helps setting your wires up correctly as M-Audio put all
the INPUT OUTPUT lettering on the underside of where the cables go making them very
hard to see and easy to make mistakes, especialy in club conditions,
put them above the connectors in Mk2 please.
After many problems and scratching my head instead of scratching my samples,
I have found these problems using Torque, it's my birthday tommorow and I have a radio
show to present and I know I wouldn't be having these problems had I got Serato!
PROBLEM 1
Whistling, whinning tones coming out of both speakers!? and the headphones.
I finaly got deck One working & scratching but still making whinning noise!
I read in MsPinky Forums new drivers solves this, so I need to make a trip to the
netcafe with my memory stik and get new drivers and new copy of Torque!.
No where in the manual/pdf dose it say when using your own mixer,
connect the outputs from Conectiv to the "Line-In" inputs on your Mixer (it should),
as it makes a horrible distorted noise if you put them in the "phonos", well it did to me,
then I tried the Line-ins, managed to sort the levels ok althought the high pitch whinning and fuzzy noises
continue.
I found it impossible to just highlight a track and hit delete in any of the panes or windows,
or simply right-button cut track would be nice.
Torques built in CrossFader,Split,PFL buttons do not work at all for me using my own mixer.
I guess this just works when mixing without your own mixer mode and according driver settings?
PROBLEM 2
I can hear Deck 2 or B in my headphones cue (which are connected to contectiv)
and I can manipultae the vinyl and see the track in the window view but it
just does not play out of Output 3-4 when I use my crossfader on my mixer
Deck 2 plays out of Output 1-2 as a test so the leads are ok,
but obviously i cant use the crossfader!.
hope I can fix this fast or its all going back, gutted again with M-AUDIO!
Looking at my specs you will notice I have alot of different M-AUDIO drivers..
In Audio Preferences i have everything setup as the PDF exlaines for external mixer:
DECK-A ANALOGUE-IN CHANNEL 1-2 , DECK B ANALOGUE-IN CHANNEL 3-4, and the same with the outputs
any help here would be greatly appreciated. cheers. Subzero Brighton.
I've also been trying to update my Audiophile Firewire Drivers via M-AUDIO,
as the new ones remove the old ones but the old drivers just reappear everytime! :/
got to call some number now for UK support
but dont have a phone at home or internet. so even if I skype call from the netcafe
I wont be infront of my Laptop to sort the problem. ah well.
