i'm having major issues with my decks going through my mixer. Everything was cool up until i got monitors and a soundcraft mixer now its just 99 problems.

Basically sound only comes from one speaker sometimes and sometimes gets quieter. I have brand new carts and just bought a new set of headshells. it can't be my deck mixer as i have tried it on 2 seperate ones.

what the fuck is going on, please someone help me before i smash the whole fucking lot. if there were a picture to sum up my mood at the moment it would be:

jiggle the cable???

sorry man

bad tunrtable maybe?

dunno

Sounds the desk' o/p is fucked, which model is it? Then I can tell if there is work around

it's the soundcraft compact 4, bought it second hand but it looked brand spanking when i got it.

other equipment: decks/gemini tt-02, mixer/numark dxm06, monitors/samson resolv50a (one is quieter than the other from brand new) and the soundcraft.

i have no clue what's going on, i need someone to check it out because i doubt i have it all wired together properly anyway.

not sure about the desk, but have you made sure the speaker gains are set to the same level? dunno bout your monitors, but my mackies have an adjustment on the back. check that maybe? also have you tried switching out the cables?

yer man, mine have seperate gains but the right monitor has always been louder then the left for sum fucked up reason. ive tried new cables, swapping cables, smashing various objects in my room..............everything and still nothing.

If your swapping the speaker to mixer cables and its still louder in the right, then it has to be one of the speakers is at fault. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious.

Yeah I agree sounds like the left monitor is faulty. So you've taken the right o/p from the desk and tried it in the left monitor? And still no sound? But the right o/p into the right monitor gives you sound? And the left o/p to the right monitor gives you sound? Yeah? Ok if so then the left monitor is faulty. So take it back and get a refund!

nah man, i get sound from both when listening to music or producing from my comuter, its just when i use my decks it fucks up.

can you post a pik off hows its set up?

wher does you mixer plug into? if it only happens when you use your deck then surley its this connection thats at fault?

If you have your decks on different channels to your computer, maybe it's a duff trim pot or fader?

on the soundcraft I mean, sry, not very clear.

RESOLVED!!!!!!!
