I managed to buy a super cheap Xone 22 second hand a few weeks ago. After 2 weeks of delivery it finally arrived.
I know about the filter pop and the lower headphone output when monitoring both channels. Kinda annoying but hey I did my research!
I am having a few issues though that I can't find any workarounds for and I'm wondering if anyone has solved them in DJTT, cause this appears to be a very popular mixer here.
I use timecode, vinyl timecode, so I have my TA6 hooked up to the mixers line inputs. I also have a X1 and one of the main reasons why I bought this mixer is for the FX loop. I have the send and return hooked up to the "Main" ins and outs of the TA6.
1) I am finding that with the FX loop on I am getting a noticeable latency in the audio. Specifically there is a latency between what I am hearing in the headphones with the cue on and the monitor output. It is just enough to give a slight gallop to the beats. I am unsure if this is a traktor issue, a TA6 issue or a Xone issue, but I am guessing it is to do with traktor because when I turn the FX loop off there is no more latency.
2) I like the new Traktor 2 headroom preference option but I am finding that it does something really weird with FX send and return.
Basically it is doubling up on itself. So what it appears to do is send an attenuated signal to the mixer and then when the mixer sends the FX send to traktor it again reduces the volume by the set amount and sends it back to the mixer.
I've had to turn it off completely because whenever I turn on the FX loop button it lowers the volume. Then when i turn it off it raises it.
My workaround is to turn it off and just lower the main output knob in traktor by -3 db.
Is there a smarter way to get around this?
3) I'm finding it really annoying that the master has a lower output than the channels individually. As a test I loaded one track onto one channel and set the gain so that the 0 db blue light was flashing. This was in the "cue" mode of the mixer. Once I press the cue button to listen to the master the LED's show the master output level, it was about 3 db lower. Turning the master knob on the mixer does not raise or lower these LED's so it appears that the master volume is at a constant -3db difference to the incoming channel volume.
Is there a way to match them up?
Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated. I'm already loving this mixer but these little annoying things is preventing me from totally getting the best experience out of it.
