Traktor S3 + Audio Technica AT-LP120xUSB not working

faruqi

Hello,

I have Traktor S3 and AT-LP120xUSB but I could not make the turntable work. I did let the microphone access but it still takes forever to calibrate the turntable. And also, it does says phone/line not supported. I really need your help. TQ!

it does says phone/line not supported.

That in the first page in the settings? That's normal and nothing to worry about.

But you get a signal?

Should look similar to this.

Just under Deck A or whatever it's called on the s3. But do you see the blue bars on the right when you play something?

Are you using the pre amp on the lp120 or the s3? Make sure you are not using both that the same time.

You either have to select "line" OR phono on both.

this is what it shows on the first page.

may i know where is this? and im not sure where can i get the signal.

I did not see any blue bar. where can i see it.

where can i do the pre amp setting?

when i choose input, it only shows mic.

faruqi

one more thing, do i need audio interface for using this external turntable? tq

Ah, my bad. It seems the s3 does not have a phono pre-amp.

The turntable needs to have to rocker switch on the backside set to line. That will active the pre-amp in the turntable.

On the s3 you need to press Shift + EXT to active the line in. https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001947209-How-to-Switch-between-LINE-and-PHONO-or-MIC-Input-Level-with-a-TRAKTOR-Audio-Interface#h_01EZFTWM2XQDNQ97BFV9C9NNTW

Then in input routing you hopefully should see the blue bars when you play a vinyl.

Hey bro, it shows the blue bar. But it seems like the track is not playing. What should I do next?

faruqi

Its showing blinks red color bar.

Is this a Timecode / DVS vinyl or a normal one?

If a normal one, make sure the deck is in live input mode. You can klick on the deck name [D] in the UI.

If it's a DVS timecode record it should be a track deck. You can active the scopes to see if the signal is good. https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000509157-TRAKTOR-PRO-3-Timecode-Setup-Guide (Ignore all the parts in the beginning, Deck Configuration is important for you)

Looks like everything works?

The track is just at the end. Put the needle at the start of the record.

Thanks a lot bro! It's working like a charm! It's a bless having you today. You had help me a lot. I can't imagine doing this without you. Thanks again :D

lord-carlos

Yeah no worries mate.

Next time post in the traktor forum. It's rare that I look at the other ones.
