Sounds like it was recorded in stereo? When one track is playing its only working on one speaker than when you drop the next track both speakers work.

this often implies one deck has one side of it's stereo out malfunctioning.

Unless you just had the pan/balance all the way over to one side on one of the channels.

yea my shit does that

i have to fuck with the stylus and tighten/loosen/jiggle it until sound comes out both speakers

fucking annoying

well annoying. IMO: if wiggling the stylus solves it I would buy a new stylus, or maybe cart, or maybe headshell. chk the wires in your headshell connect nice and tight too, unless it's a concorde.

But Cupe IF YOU READ ONE THING: the more you wiggle shit the worse the problem will get. Better to source exactly where the problem is once and for all by eliminating elements/swapping shit to other deck/using the power of deduction - then replace the faulty element. If you wiggle lots you may cause more faults.

How the fuck do i fix it.

Cant fix that mix now really, can hide it a bit by going mono but really you're going to have to find the source of the problem so it doesnt keep happening everytime mate. Troubleshooting a full DJ setup is quite a process but if you approach it calmly and check everything one thing at a time you'll find it.

I can give you pointers where to start but so I dont waste your time what kit are you using? Be specific pls: stylus, cart, headshell, deck, mixer details. IF you're on CD or software better give all the details.

unless cupe has a link to a troubleshooting flow diagram?

CDJ350's, pioneer 350 mixer, two audioline 180 watt 6" active studio monitors

Oh, thought you were on vinyl. There are loads more simple places for a vinyl set up to result in this issue (Cupe, stop wiggling them styli)...

I will only be able to take you through the first steps of this, if problem isnt easy to find you may have to go to a professional.

OK, so the mixer has no balance/pan control so we can rule that out.

It does have effects and shit so be sure they are all off in case there's some pan involved there. Leave the computer out of the equation for now.

--------------------------------

To be absolutley sure the CD players are ok remove them from the mixer and plug them into any "line in" on a home hifi, play a disc, is it in stereo?

Try this for each cd playa with each RCA cable you use to test both cables are ok too. If you can be sure it's the cable between player and mixer at fault you have a lucky cheap fix. Double check it, sometimes these problems are intermittent and all the pluggin/unplugging fixes them temporarily for one test but it wont stay that way. If it's def the CD playa then prob need a pro fix.

If the cables and players always play in stereo whatever combination you wire them up in then your problem is more likely to be in your mixer or something to do with your rec software/usb.

The mixer has internal amps which you can test by plugging it into the same "line in" on a home hifi and testing if both sides play stereo. If not be sure you test with a variety of rca cables as cables are the weakest link. If you can be sure that the mixer is at fault (because you dont get stereo playback from one side whichever cable or deck you put through it) then I would rec a pro fix.

If you are getting stereo to your home hifi whichever way you plug in your dex and whichever cables you use then you know the problem is not with the dex, cables or mixer. This means it's something to do with your recorder or usb/software settings. This is unlikely as the recorder should be getting a stereo mix so would show a continuos fault regardless of which side was dodgy.

If none of this solves problem let us know what software/recorder you use...

But my knowledge stops here.

so confused.

cdj 350s dont have tonearms, even if they did he hasnt fixed the problem by switching to mono, just fixed the mix. He'll get the same problem next time he records, or he'll have to keep all his mixes in mono?

LOL i didn't know he was on cdj's

anyway the fucking point is one channel wasn't recording in stereo, so i told him to resave his mix as mono so the whole mix came out both speakers

i don't think he's fixed the original problem yet though
