[OPEN] DDJ-T1 and sound distortion.

@Myles > You're not red-lining your audio levels are you?

No Pulse, Ive checked all levels and gains. After reading previous posts I was hoping youd be the man with the plan!!

Have you checked the sample rate within the Traktor settings?  What are they set to?

Cheers Pulse, It is at 44100 Hz, this is the only option that is available. Would that be right? Would downloading Asio 4 All do anything?

I tried playing it just using my laptop without my midi controller connected and the sound was the same. Which eliminates the hardware....unless its my comp.

Ah -- question for you, which version of ASIO4ALL are you running?  If it's 2.10, you're going to have audio problems, uninstall it and get 2.9.  

44.1 is the right setting for the sample rate.

I havent downloaded ASIO4ALL yet, im just running the Pioneer Asio that came with the installation cd's. Should i get ASIO4ALL? A mate mentioned about updating the driver?

Sorry, misread -- you don't want to use ASIO4ALL unless you have to.

If you haven't updated the driver / firmware, by all means, do that first and see if it helps.

Hello. I have the same problem too with the sound distortion. I think is a problem with ddj-t1. I tried to reinstall all the drivers, including traktor and i have same problem. Did you guys find a solve for this issue?

@Paul > What is your computer make / model / spec and operating system version / bit depth?

Sony vaio i7, 6gb ram, win7 home premium x64.
I think i found the problem. In adio setup from traktor, the latency was at 4.3 msec (44100hz) and i change it in 2.9msec(44100hz) and the problem dissapeared. If i choose 1.4msec the distortion is become louder. If i choose again 4.3msec the distortion appears again(but not always). So i think the problem is solved. I choose 2.9msec and no problem. Anyone who have this problem i suggest to change settings in traktor>preferences>audio setup>latency settings. I have pioneer asio(default driver from ddj-t1). Thanks and sry for my english

Typically shorter times will result in more audio dropouts, so setting a longer time (larger audio buffer) is better if you experience problems. The downside to a longer buffer is latency so you always want to find the balance of as short as possible without dropouts.
