I use my DJ gear rarely. It's always in the studio. I never take it away from home. Last time I mixed was a couple of weeks ago and it was working fine. Today I was trying to mix with the same setup as the last time using my CMX-3000 and DJM-3000 and noticed the following issue for the first time:
CD Deck 1 was assigned to mixer channel 2 (line 3)
CD Deck 2 was assigned to mixer channel 3 (line 5)
1. I start playing on deck 1 with zero volume on mixer channel 2 (line 3). No sound is coming from monitor speakers (which are by the way connected to booth monitor outputs)
2. I increase the volume on channel 2 and sound starts coming from both left and right monitor speakers.
3. I decrease the volume on channel 2 to zero but sound keeps coming only from right speaker (why if volume level is zero?)
4. I increase the volume on channel 2 and sound comes from both speakers again
5. I decrease the volume on channel 2 to zero again and sound keeps coming only from right speaker (why if volume level is zero?)
6. When playing CD deck 2 on channel 3 (line 5) I get the right behaviour, I mean: I increase the volume and sound comes from both speakers and I decrease volume level to zero and sound does not come from monitor speakers
I performed the following testing:
1. Switched cd 1 input to mixer channel 2 line 4. Same behaviour
2. Switched speaker monitors connection to master output instead of booth monitor output. Same behaviour
3. Switched cd 1 input to mixer channel 1 line 1. Problem solved.
Conclusions so far:
Something is wrong with mixer channel 2 (affecting lines 3 and 4) that is causing that sound keeps coming from right monitor speaker even if the mixer channel 2 volume level is set to zero.
Any ideas about what the damage/problem might be? Any additional test I shall perform? Has this ever happened to you?
Kind regards
