Have any fellow DJM-500/600 owners here noticed any sort of sound leak from other channels when the other faders are all the way down? I've known about this for quite some time now, but was reminded of it just last night -- I recorded a mix and during the breakdown of one of the tracks (Summer Sun, specifically) I can hear myself looking for a cue point on the next record. It's very low but you can still tell its there -- in fact I can only hear the low-end/bass from it. But it's rather noticeable during a breakdown.

Anyone else noticed this?

I think your faders are bleeding man. I dunno how to fix it, but usually replacing it solves the problem.

I've had it for 14 months now. The leak is very very minor, but still a leak nonetheless. I've actually developed a habit of turning down the bass on the monitored channels while the live channel is in breakdown to keep it from slipping into the recording. On the other hand, it would be nice if it weren't a problem at all, but...

I'm not sure if it's on specific channels or on all of them, and whether or not they're leaking while being monitored, or what...will check that out later today.

Whatever that sound leak is, it doesn't exist in the DJM 600

Do you use the cross-fader? If not is the switch for it turned off?

Nope, have never used the cross-fader. It is turned off, though.

i haven't noticed any bleeding on mine and i've had mine for almost two years now.

this will prolly jinx me now. lol

Originally posted by Nou The cross fader on the 500 has the worst curve... its extremely sharp. I never use it tho, so it dont matter.

so what do u use instead of the cross fader?????

i put my other shifter thing down then move up the cross fader to the middle
then i move up the thing that tells how much sound can come through

is that how your talking about?
