Hectic mspinky issues
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:29 am
Hi,
Mspinky was working GREAT for me a few months back, until I was doing a set onstage and some chicks pushed all my gear off the stage (by accident).
I had 1 deck repaired that was playing sound out of 1 channel (the coppers in the wires from the tonearm to the motherboard broke inside their rubber sheathes).
Now im having some badass issues with pinkster.
2x PDX2000
1 DJM300s
1 ibm lappy (+ 1 spare that ive tested with)
(the setup i had that worked was the above, and worked 100% of the time so i know its set up correctly).
Decks -> M-Audio Synchoscience -> Mixer
Currently im trying both the new maxipatch version and the old.
The issues are as follows.
Old version ->
---
Deck B works fkn GREAT. No issues. Error metric reads .1 - .2 fine. Plays a whole track start to finish 100%
Deck A however, does a whole variety of strange jumping around from start to finish every x seconds. Error metric reads 2.x - sometimes 3.x.
I cannot figure out why this is though. I tested the connecting groundwire, RCA cable and stylus with that from DeckB and still no improvement. (I also plugged those from the faulty DeckA to DeckB and all the cables / stylus tested fine as well).
Also, Normal vinyls work on both decks with pass through mode 100%.
If i can get this error metric problem fixed ill settle with using the old version for sure.
New Version
----
With the EXACT same mspinky audio settings that i used to (and still have configured) in the old maxipatch - The Problem is when I click play on both buttons, and i start DeckA spinning, it plays BOTH the track loaded onto Deck A and Deck B. The error metric on both playing decks at this time is between 2 and 3.
Also, if deck A isnt spinning while both play buttons are 'on', then i get mad static playing out the left channel on the Mixer.
Moving the vinyl around on Deck B it doesnt affect anything...
See the 2 videos below that i took with my phone to help give you an idea.
(theyre in mp4 format :< )
Basically at the moment, Im suspecting that the Soundcard may be the problem.
All help welcome, Its been month since ive had a proper mix. Im going insane.
