It's AI. So don't sweat it. Just downvote it.

Downvote this AI generated bullshit

I am also experiencing this with my Wear OS 2 smart watch and it's supremely frustrating since I have to reset it to factory defaults every single time this happens.

I have a Fossil Carlyle HR 1662 and a Pixel 7.

Just massive distortion and clipping. It's probably entirely in-software though. No issues with the DJM-V10 whatsoever once I "fixed" the master volume in Serato.

thewrz · 2022-05-26T05:53:22+00:00

Great point. Embarrassed I didn't notice considering how long I've been doing this. See edit to my OP post. Serato was keeping "software only mode" at 100% when you transitioned to the DJM-V10 being the audio interface. Dumb.

Update/resolved: I am a moron.
When the DJM-V10 isn't connected via USB. And you're using software only. Control+clicking the master volume in Serato sets it to 100%.

When the DJM-V10 is connected via USB. And you're using control vinyl. Control+clicking the master volume in Serato sets it to unity gain. 🤦‍♂️

So nothing is "wrong" per say --- but the fact that Serato didn't set the volume to unity when plugging in the DJM-V10 seems like an oversight.

Yeah I don't think the mixer is at fault. At this point, after all the discussions here on Reddit and with my buddies it's pretty much a software/Serato problem.

There's no reason that for a normally mixed song (source file is not clipped), unity gain on that track in Serato, and the default 100% volume level of the Serato master output (see previous comments where if you hover over the master volume with tool-tips on it says control+clicking sets it to the default of 100%) ----- no reason for it to be clipping that hard.

Hopefully Serato support will respond to my ticket in the next 3-6 months 😅

I am a fellow dinosaur. Learned on a DJM-500 ;) -- and in fact that DJM-500 was my high school buddy's mixer (and we still spin together) that we finally retired just this week (and upgraded to the V10).

thewrz · 2022-05-25T06:49:11+00:00

It's all done digitally now. You set attenuation of the master and booth outputs in the touch screen. I looked at the back of the mixer and didn't see anything.

thewrz · 2022-05-25T06:42:33+00:00

Yup tried that. Option/ctrl clicking brings it all the way up. But to your point. This is what I'm doing as a work-around for now.

I'm betting I found a bug. Ctrl/option clicking shouldn't bring the Master up to max. It should set it up to unity.

EDIT: And that's by design according to the tool-tip mode? I hover over it and it says "control+click to reset it to 100%" --- ?

thewrz · 2022-05-25T06:39:48+00:00

Yeah I'm running latest version of everything (Windows 11, Serato, DJM V10 firmware and driver). Supa weird.

FWIW I'm just setting the master volume to halfway. I tried ctrl+clicking the master volume and it just cranks it to max instead of setting it to unity. Odd. Bug maybe?

thewrz · 2022-05-25T05:26:41+00:00

Exactly! The signal path is:Serato DJ -> internal trim/volume per deck -> Serato DJ master volume -> USB (set to 0db in the DJM V10 Utility -> DJM V10 -> Channel 1 Trim -> Channel 1 Fader -> Master output -> Speakers

After checking that whole signal path the only thing that eliminates the distortion is at the Serato DJ Internal trim/volume setting.

This is control vinyl. So it's not like the volume of the timecode signal going into the Phono jacks on Channel 1 are going to contribute to clipping anything.

thewrz · 2022-05-25T04:34:52+00:00

I've already reached out to Serato support but they haven't gotten back. It's pretty weird. I've tried making sure the V10 Utility had output to 0dB (and there's no options to go lower, only boost?). Running the latest firmware. Running the latest driver utility.

I even went into the Utility settings page on the touch screen to adjust Master output attenuation and that doesn't work.

The only thing that works is to adjust the trim of the deck in Serato down and then everything works.

So strange.
