Huge USB Glitch Problems With Pioneer DJM S9 and Serato DJ

When I first noticed one of the glitches I thought it was perhaps that just that I had some bad needles or needed new control Vinyl. But after replacing both the needles and the DVS control records the issue resurfaced as did the alternate variation of the glitch seen in the video below where the mixer lets out a buzzing sound and loses control of the DVS control system, I quickly realized this was an issue with either the mixer or with Serato or with how Serato reads the mixer. Basically after a few minutes to a few hours of play the Mixer starts buzzing as if it has really bad feedback coming through it or it will make the songs sound like they have digital distortion as if the needles are really bad. Both problems immediately go away if I simply unplug and plug the USB cable back into the laptop. 

I am not using a USB hub, not using external hard drives or thumb drives my laptop is a high end ASUS i7 Processor running windows 10.1 with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB 7200 rpm hard drive running Serato 1.9.0 The problem started when I was running Serato DJ 1.8.0 and has continued with the new version and the new 1.06 firmware of the Pioneer DJM S9 mixer.

Now the problem has been reported on others using Macbook Pro Laptops as well so it is an issue that is prevalent for this mixer in particular and reading the forums sounds like it might not be the only product in their line that suffers similar problems. It could be specifically the Serato DJ software as the Rane 62 mixer is capable of Using the regular Serato Scratch Live Software versus needing to use the Serato DJ software and it's possible that one is more stable overall. Or it could be something that Pioneer is having problems with being that this is their first time working with Serato. They haven't worked with Serato very long so haven't had experience troubleshooting  many different issues just yet. Perhaps their firmware just needs an update and the Engineers just need to figure out what is happening.

This is very sad being that I basically paid over $1800 for a mixer that as of the moment I can only use at home for personal use or that I have to use in the field with a back up plan ready in case it starts glitching. IE make an announcement while I quickly reset it by unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in etc. I put in an official help request on the Pioneer forum at:

https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204504293-Huge-Glitch-Problems-with-Serato-and-Pioneer-DJM-S9

and another one on Serato's forum at:
https://serato.com/forum/discussion/1556794#new

I love the overall features and ease of use of the mixer, just wish it didn't have this glitch as it is a deal breaker.

Best DJ For My Budget

In a tough economy everyone is looking for the best deal possible. The problem is, most people only look at price as the deciding factor only to regret that decision later. Even in tough economic times it is overall value that is the most important factor. This is especially true when  finding entertainment for your venue, wedding or event. The value provided for the price you pay is the most important thing to look at when shopping for a good DJ or entertainer.

The question you ask yourself should not be "Who is the cheapest DJ I can find?" it should be "Who is the best DJ I can afford, that will make my party a huge success and give me the most bang for my dollar?" This is especially true if the event is an annually reoccurring event like a company picnic, Christmas party, End of year party or corporate party where you want to increase attendance every year. It is also very important for Milestone parties like weddings, Quinceneras, School Proms, Sweet Sixteens Graduation parties and Family Reunions where you would want to create great memories that will last a lifetime.

It's important to understand that the DJ isn't just "the guy playing music at your event" The DJ is responsible for the overall energy, vibe and mood of your event. A Good DJ will keep your guests happy and excited throughout the event. At private events many times the DJ company you hire is also responsible for the audio and lighting for your event. Sound quality and overall lighting then also become important factors in the look, energy and sound of your event.

A quality sound system and lighting system costs more so the DJ / Sound and Lighting company would most likely charge you a little more for this higher quality sound and lighting. The same thing goes for the experience level, and expertise of the DJ, the better the DJ the more they may charge. At some point, to stay competitive with other DJ companies, the DJ will level off the price even though their experience professionalism and expertise would naturally have them costing much more. This is where you get the best value for your money, when you get a DJ, Sound & Lighting company that is worth much more than they are charging for their services. 


At www.djemir.com we provide great value for all our costumers. With great sound, various lighting options including uplighting and wash lighting packages and amazing DJs for your events we provide a great experience at an affordable price. We can do just about anything you want, wash the walls with any color light you choose, uplight certain areas of your event space add your initials or logo to a lighting gobo etc...
