    if you have a friend w an audio 8 try yours on his system

    my bud swore his audio8 was bad and tried it on my system and it worked flawless.
    ended up being his computer having issues

    Hmm, and you tried control CDs and vinyl? That blows my "input is stuck on phono preamp" pet theory then :)

    (a friend of mine had that problem once, my control code troubleshooting repertoire is pretty slim)

    this is really annoying, still waiting for a reply from the ticket.
    cant believe this is the 2nd unit i may have to return:(
    ---
    UPDATE:

    i have now tried it on my mac pro and still the same problem
    it wont calib on traktor scratch pro or Traktor scratch either

    but....

    i swapped the cables round so that

    tt/cd mixer goes to line in on mixer
    line mixer goes to phono

    this way i got it to calibrate but instead of sound on line it was a loud whine

    and on phono i had to turn the master volume down to -90db to make it bearable as it had distorted beyond belief!

    just to add it does calibrate on vinyl


    Please N.I could you holla back
    ---
    2nd UPDATE:

    by simply leaving the tt/cd mixer cables out i can calibrate.
    now its running im met with by reading here the "cdj1000" bug and absolute mode, getting stutters all the time and cue points dont really work, deck B is forever in relative mode and refuses to go into absolute/scratch mode, and its practically unusable via cdj's:(

    User standard rca cables and try again. Plug your CDJs or TTs directly into the Audio8, and use standard rca's to go back to the mixer.

    If you still experience an issue, "Please N.I could you holla back" doesn't really get a response here...I'd call and ask that the support ticket be reopened because your problem was not resolved.

    I have not been able to get proper vinyl calibration.

    With cdj's it works perfectly. And it used to work perfectly with the vinyls, but i only used control cd's for the past 4 months (with traktor scratch, and now with pro) and last night tried to calibrate the control vinyls and i got this 'unkown medium. calibration failed' message over and over again.
    Check everything, input modes, chords, even tried two different types of needles.
    I guess i'll get in touch with tech support, im just curious if theres a known history of audio 8's breaking down for control vinyl but still working fine with the cd's?
