- All things being equal (I had the same problem with my Denon SC2900s and Mixvibes a while ago), the only thing that really could cause distortion like that, without a hardware cause, is latency really. My Denons would play nicely for 5 minutes or half an hour and then one or both would start distorting like crazy (awful sound). I ended up setting a higher latency factor and the problem was solved. So it pays to experiment with that.Question: did the tracks sound distorted in your headphones in cue mode? If that is the case, you can discount anything happening post-fader (like the PA).Something else to test, when you experience distortion, hook up your iPhone or iPod or any other mp3 player to the aux/line input of the controller and run some music through the standalone side of things. This too will help pinpoint the source of the distortion. If it’s the PA it will sound distorted too, if it’s the controller (hardware) it wil sound distorted too (you can try it on one of the channels that you use for the Serato decks normally too, just to exclude them), if it’s the PC/Serato, it will sound fine.2 things you should check:IS the master in the software set to high?
Is the software gain set too high? (check the software VU meter at the top of the Serato window)
Also there is a red dot beside the software VU meter, if this is in the red then your software gain is too high.Additionally what could be the problem is the input of the house mixer or pre-amp of the PA system. Those usually have a switch from Line to phono (record decks) and are mostly on phono (record decks) as most CDJs also can output at phono level.
Also some PA systems cannot handle to high of an input so you might have to throttle down the master out of your SX and compensate on the PA.My guess would be more in the line of: He did something to the mix when he brought in the Mics for the speeches and never reverted the settings that influenced your settings. PA and mixing PA sounds together is a delicate thing and different channel settings can do stuff. For example he could have cranked the master in some way and re-did some gain settings that overcompressed your channels -> distortion.
So my guess after telling me this is that your signal path was fine.
The SX getting hot is VERY unlikely unless it is a faulty unit and that should actually sound distorted all the time.
I played for 2 hours with an SX with a 2000W stage light aimed at the SX and it did fine for 2 hours straight (I had to get my laptop out of range though hehe). - Posts

My sound engeneer friend say's its probably buffering so i switch it to 20ms and i saw the difference. But the sound was still distorted last night at my gig. I was about to kill myself but i decided to get shitface cause people were making party and didn't notice the shit sound. So now I have pioneer asio drivers running on 4 decks with clear sound and loopback recording working the way it's supposed to. Just to let others know, earlier I was using the onboard soundmax card. Playback was ok, but recording was distorted. Topic: weird crackling/distortion sound ddj-400/mac G1ak1 PRO Infinity Member since 2015 Hey there.
