Binky Toy and Some Problems...

First My Setup:

Mac Book 1,83 Ghz Intel Duo Core
Edirol FA-66
2 * Numark TTX and Ortofon Nightclub Neddles
1* Numark DXM 06

Today i recieved my new Edirol 66 and i used mspinky for the first time.

Everything is connected right i guess.

1. The mp3 files are playing when i hit the start button, but they are running much too fast and the track is jumping wild around.

And suggestions what to do?

Thanks a lot!

Dude, You really need to read the Binky Toy HTML User's Guide. Find it on the downloads page where you downloaded Binky Toy. Please don't post problems until you actually have read the manual.

Ofcourse I read the manual, but reading "4th generation" on the vinyl takes some time

Now, I selected "MP4 relative" and everything works fine.

But I think the soundcard works not correct.
Output 3 is too silent, I can see this on right corner on the top.

I do some tests later but I think I have to send it back.

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't mean to bite

But you'd be amazed at how many people don't even read the documentation, such as it is ....

I'm sorry to hear the FA-66 doesn't seem to work exactly right for you. I know several users have had success with the Edirol FA-101, if that helps you at all.

No prob

I changed the jack plug and now it works.

But the 1/2 Inputs are much louder than 3/4. It is not possible to control this with the core audio.

Ok you can change this with binkytoy, but i'd like to have drivers for the FA-66 mac with the same features as under XP.

But I think I can live with it or I change to the UA-101, finishes a little bit better in the tests.

Thanks!

...ok so far i get in love with Binky Toy

)

But I've got a big prob:

When I record "Output Mix", the files are skipping ~ every 30s. Or there is something like crazy sound like a squeak.

Nothing changed in my setup, I added an an 120 gb external disk, nothing more.

cheers thanks for help

Could you please post screenshots from the program? That could help me diagnose what could possibly be going wrong. Specifically, the "Vinyl Demod" tab of the program would be nice to see, and "Audio I/O".

Some other questions for you:

1) What is "buffer size" under "Audio I/O" set to? Ideally you should use something like 128.

2) What are the "metric" readings (under "Vinyl Demod") you see when playing your generation (4) vinyl? The "metric" readings should be in the range of 0.1 - 0.4, more-or-less. If those "metric" readings are too high, it indicates some signal quality problem with your setup...

metric readings are looking good. just cleaned the needles.

Only when i record the output mix i get some scarry sounds sometimes and skipping.

Ill do some screenshots tomorrow!

I was able to duplicate the problem of skipping when recording the output mix. I looked into it a bit and changed one small thing in the code which seems to have solved the problem. I uploaded a new build of BinkyToy 2.5 UBX which contains the change I made. I hope this also solves the problem for you.
