If you use the rotary encoder instead of the touch screen and you keep your hand away from the platter, does it still happen? You can also try just loading a track with your right hand while the left hand is touching the rear-left grounding screw on the back and see if that makes any difference.
I will try this tonite, I used both the rotary and the touch screen when I noticed the noise.
You’re on the latest firmware?
Yes. Will downgrade to 1.2 to check if the problem dissappears as it did with a former poster on this theread
How many hot cues saved does it take for it to occur?
One is enough, althought the ones I tested with were in either the very beginning or 16 bars into the track
Is it only with certain file types or very long/big tracks?
Will test, but this happened with AIFFS, I will check with other formats tonite.
Does it happen early in a set, late in the set only, or pretty much throughout?
I noticed it at first an hour into playing. Powered off the machine, waited a while, booted up and the problem was right there with the first 2 tracks.
Only on the linked deck or even the deck the drive is directly connected to?
I only have one, so this happens when two layers are in use. The noise appears on the track playing on say, layer A, when you load a track to layer B.
Does it happen through the analog outs, too?
Will test this and will also test with another set of coaxial cables.
