Hey everyone . My first post here and i need help. I recently purchased the Numark mixtrack pro fx and i love it . im using serato dj pro and the controller is hooked up to my yamaha rxv563 avr through the CD in with direct mode . i have a full 7.1 surround setup and 7channel stereo sounds beautiful as well.
Im not sure i am setting the gain / volume / master / receiver volume correctly . Here is my process doing it and if anyone can help out with tips or correct me if im wrong. i have everything plugged in and powered on .With both line faders all the way down , the master down and gain knobs down i find the loudest part of a good quality song and slowly turn up the gain knobs until right before the 5th led light on the meter is lit . deck 2 i repeat the process with the same song . i then turn up the master on the controller , bring up both volume faders on the controller and finally turn the volume up on my receiver to about -22db .
my problem is that sometimes the samples are extremely loud , the receiver has the option to use both the subwoofer and bass from my front left and right bookshelves , or i can make it be subwoofer only . the crossover setting in the receiver is 80hz by default but an older audiophile buddy of mine suggested to change it to 120hz . what do i use to correct the volume of a track if it is way too loud ? the receiver volume knob ? dj controller volume faders ? gain knobs ? all of the above?
whats the correct way to set the gain and volume levels on a dj controller if it is connected to an avr ?
