Pro 3 & Scratch A6 - audio issues

Hey all,

Recently picked up an A6 to run my 1200s through my old DJM600. The timecode vinyl seems to work great, no issues that I can tell. When I want to switch to a normal vinyl via 'THRU,' I notice the gain when I switch goes WAY down. I noticed this same issue using my tables as channel 3/4 through my S4 as well. Is there an input setting somewhere that I'm missing that will help offset this? I assume it's due to the normal vinyl playing through the Line In on the A6 vs phone but that's just a guess.

Also, on the flip side if I decide to ditch my 600, will my S4 with Pro 3 work with the Timecode vinyl making the A6 redundant or do I need the addition of the A6 between the two?

Thanks all. Been ages since I've dj'd regularly and decided to dust all my stuff off.

I did some digging and it looks like when you have (4) decks going along with Live Inputs, it's recommended to increase the headspace. I bumped mine up like this article said to -13dB and it all but fixed the level issues. I still have to bump up the gain on older vinyl but I think thats just due to mastering differences between then and today.

For reference, I found it here:

Not sure about my suggestion, since I don't own this equipment, but if im not mistaken you can set your input settings to 'phono' within the Traktor Audio 6 Control Panel. Have you done that?

Yes, the control panel settings are set to Phono for both.
