FEEDBACK on vestax pmc170A

[John Locke]

...whats that about then? sumthing to do with the earth being dodgy? dont understand this stuff at all

had it for years and just ignored it b4 as it wasnt loud enough to make much difference to a set, but I want2 resample some stuff thru it now and dont want that low hum fucking up the recording. any ideas how 2 get rid of it?

[daft cunt]

Might be something about the way it's connected to the comp. Do you have both pc line out to mixer line in & mixer out to pc in connections? If yes try disconnecting the mixer line in for recording.

This mixer sucks anyway. Mine just died and if I had money I'd be glad it did.

nah, nothing to do with the computer. not even connected it to the computer yet. feedback been there from day one, and followed me as Ive moved from house to house, country to country.

its connected to 2 1210s and then into the amp. feedback audible in speakers from the moment i turn the mixer on. never bothered me too much for just listening or playing out, and even when i sampled through it ('record out' of amp to computer's preamp) i usually just worked round it and eq'd the hum out, but for resampling a whole audio track, complete with silent bits, its too much to ignore

I know nothing about DJ mixers but if it was a desk behaving like this, I'd say it was fucked.

Most useful post ever.

no, no, my fault: i should've put the word "fucked" in the subject header. cos it clearly is.

but yeah, was more a cure i was lookin for than a diagnosis

don't mean to be insulting with the obvious question but have the 1210s been grounded to the mixer

also, just to fault find - disconnect the phonos and plug a cd player or your pc to the line in on your mixer. still get feedback now?

not insulted, even if insult was meant.

anyway i'm perfectly capable of dumbass shit like that, even if in this case i'm in the clear. been wiggling the earths all afternoon in the vain hope it might improve, but to no effect.

i tried disconnecting phonos already too (man, i'm on top of it today) and the buzz is there even with nothing connected 2 the mixer

ive kind of half solved the problem now anyway tho, by switching line out to record out (or was it the other way round, not sure now). still makes noise, but its a nicer noise, and theres less of it

I use one of these, well the 275. The bass eq cuts to much of the mid. I've been told they have a dead top end but i can't hear it. No feedback probs thou

what u r describing is what i like about it....it distorts in a nice warm way, which is why i want to resample thru it


dont play out much anymore, so no that bothered about its appropriatness for mixing, but yeah, its not the best

I run 3 stereo channels from my soundcard and run the output back into the computer because I lose sleep about the accuracy of digital summing (half joke)
