Common Issues & Troubleshooting

  • Virtual decks playing in reverse? Switch the left and right RCA plugs over.
  • Getting pops, clicks and xruns? Try increasing your buffer size.
  • xwax not working with your CD players? Turn off key lock/master tempo.
  • Diagnosing the Scope Views - A useful article from Serato on using the scope display. Helpful if your timecode's performance is less than optimal.
  • Scope signal is square? You might have input distortion if your CD player output is too loud for your audio interface input. If the audio interface has a fixed input gain, you can lower the amplitude of the timecode WAV file in a program such as Audacity and burn a new timecode CD.
  • TTF DejaVu fonts not found
