Got a problem with my decks... 3 good mixers have noticed it in 48 hours now when using my decks, so it cant be just me having a funny time on my own equipment at the moment.
I'm not sure if its a pitch issue or a turntable problem, but it appears that no matter how long you spend beat matching... the beats slip. It gets to the point where you can making nano-meter adjustments to the pitch to compensate where it goes out, but alas, either adjustment makes it too fast or too slow and the beats run out after abour 32/64 beat bar.
Its anoying... cause you constantly have to keep check on it. Its as if there pitch is fluctuating on one (or both!) as some times it stays in longer, sometimes it doesn't.
I've put it down to me just having a bad day but I've had a few different users in the last few days and they've all seem to struggled with it.
It makes doing CD's near impossible... (well, I can't have even the slightest mistake on my cd's if I can help it).
I've never had them serviced and there about 3 years old. My room can be one of the most dusty places of the universe, and I often leave my lids off.
Any ideas?
If I put two copies of the same record on and match them perfectly the pitches are about 1.2% out from each other, again, this a sign that my decks are just getting on?
They've been caned (as well as me) on many weekends... lol
