Hi,
I've been having some issues with Timecode CDs. I have Pioneer CDJ100s decks and a Maya44USB (with 100% timecode quality) and the main issue I'm having relates to seemingly random behaviour on occaisions.
Firstly, when cueing tracks, I can get the two songs perfectly in time only to find within a short period of time one of them will have changed tempo. Could this be down to the quality of the CD that I've burnt? I burnt the CDs using Windows Media Player 10 and they are basic 80 minute CD-Rs.
Secondly, the cueing on the CDJs doesn't seem to quite work properly. When I have a track cue'd, (by pausing it and then pressing the cue button), it should resume when I press play. However it seems not to work all the time (in normal CD-audio mode I have no such problem).
Finally when I am seeking on tracks it seems to sometimes jump all the way to the end etc. This maybe me - I've only been playing around a little bit and it is quite hard to remember to keep resetting the track to the beginning each time you load a new song. Has anyone got any tips on using the Time code CDs? For example, to get it to work I have to reverse the stereo. I can also reverse phase - what is the difference and what generally works better? Also, what is the recommended level for silence and the inputs? I assume that even with 100% timecode quality, these values can still be adjusted.
Thanks

Hopefully a TC CD user will answer you soon. It takes some users a few days to check the forum.
