Hi there
i use DDJ SR for 2 months now, was with Traktor before (never had distorted sound). i notice a little of 'waving' kind of tremolo distorted sound with my old Macbook 13' early 2008 (8 Gb) my CPU was at half..so i bought new refurb Macbook Pro 15' 2013 (Quad core 2.4 ghz - 8Gb) my CPU is almost inexistent! But it keep 'waving' and distortioned..
last saturday night at a gig it distortioned like HELL! it was never bad like this before! It was big distortion and hole in the song.. it begin like 15 min from the begin of the set. so i drop my master to higher the bar's master and it was fine for a while. then it came back again..so i drop my bass it help a little bit..
SO! there is 2 things i've done different that special night:
1. I Outputed with 1/4 to XLR in the wall : normally i plug my DDJ-SR with 1/4 to 1/8 on a DJM mixer which go in the wall after with (2 XLR)
2. i use an other USB wire (i lost my original in a bar..too drunk)
SO! i try to change the USB buffer during the night and it didNt worked.. AND i have to specefy that the distortion was in the bar, on my monitor and in my headphones..that can explain it comes from the laptop or the USB wire??
ps i use a lot of iTunes bought songs and M4a and it was no difference with Mp3 either!!
NOW last night at a gig. i change my USB wire for a Beatport wire series. AT the begin of the gig everything was fine…then after an hour o so it happen again!!! my sound was poor poor poor….just like something was tired and was going weaker and weaker…
i tough maybe i have corrupted audio file (iTunes and some Mp3) but again at the begin of my set everything was ok…
PLEASE guy's i have a week and half before next gig and i really need you here!!!!

Hello,
I have been having some random USB dropouts or something while playing with my DDJ-S1. My gigs are usually 4.5 hours long and during that time I typically get 0-5 dropouts that last for less than a second. I have learned to live with this, though it still is very disappointing and ridiculous to see stuff like this happen with brand new hardware and software. I never got a single dropout when I used SL-3 weekly for a couple of years.
However, a much bigger problem has surfaced. It has happened thrice now. Last time was a couple of months ago and now it has happened twice in a week. The output sound becomes highly distorted, all the low frequencies are gone. Its a bit hard to describe, but it sounds a bit like the song was played from a speaker of a cellphone from the nineties. Very lo-fi and very distorted. The only way I have been able to resolve this issue is to quickly turn off the power on the controller and then turn it back on. This takes some seconds, and let me tell you those seconds feel long in a club full of people watching me as I want to hide under the table.
I have no idea what could cause this, and it has happened so few times I cannot find a way to make it happen again so that I could sample the sound or try different solutions when at home and not on a gig. The only thing I am quite certain of is, that every time it happened both decks were playing and one of the lines was open while the other one closed. I haven't been able to gather any more information because when this happens my highest priority is to get the sound output fixed, not to document the event that should not happen in the first place.
I have to say that before these issues are resolved I am currently very disappointed in my decision to buy this controller and start using it on gigs instead of SL-3.
Some additional info:
My computer is late 2007 MBP model
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
4GB of DDR2 at 667MHz
I don't run any other software while performing. Airport is usually off. I cannot say if it has been off every time this has happened, but I know I haven't been connected to any wireless networks.
The only other thing I use simultaneously with ITCH is the Mac OS X stickies widget that I use to write down song requests.
Itch version 2.2.0
Controller firmware seems to be up to date
Buffer size 256
Hifi resampler on
Auto gain on
Screen update at 60fps

Mar 02, 2014 you can hear ate the little break of bass the weird sound. Ableton live loops free. download full.

Distorted Sound From Pioneer Dj On Mac Youtube
Pioneer Dj Software
DVD playback: Extremely distorted audio During dvd playback, certain discs play normally, audio and video both okay. However, with some DVD's, the video plays back normally, but the audio is so greatly distorted I cannot continue to play it; audio sounds like a piece of metal striking the blades of an electric fan as it turns. How did this technicolour multi-sensory overload come about? Is it just about the music, or something more? How have festivals evolved and what does their future hold? ‘Under a Strobe Lit Sky’, a film from Pioneer DJ and DJsounds, searches for the answers. Jul 24, 2019 A recent update to Mac OS X included improved security surrounding driver installation. If rushed, you may miss this crucial step when installing your DJ hardware, meaning loss of audio.
