Serato timecode noise bleeding problem

well like the title says. I'm reviewing my latest mix, and i notice in one of the breakdowns i can hear that whine of the serato timecode very faintly in the background. i also noticed it at the end of the mix after my last track had ended and before i stopped recording.
I'm runnning 2 1200s and a vestax pcv-275. I'm guessing the bleed-through is coming from the channel input selector switch on the mixer. any ideas on how i might be able to troubleshoot this? |

| I wonder if something is loose on the inside of the mixer. Mine has this issue because the input for the 2nd channel is a little loose, but it fixes the error when I kinda push down on the turntable connection to it. Sucks when trying to record something because it comes through on the recording. |

I have the exact same setup and don't have those problems.. Just to rule that out.
What are you using to record the music? |

wait wait wait. i don't have serato or FS, but doesn't the setup go as follows:
decks -> scratchamp/seratobox/whatever -> laptop -> scratchamp/seratobox/whatever -> mixer
i dunno, just speculating.
in any case, if the setup is as mentioned, the timecode never goes directly to the mixer, in which case, it is the box/amp/whatever that is at fault. |

| There is a through port on the SL1 box so vinyl goes straight through from the TT to your mixer. If you cant fight it from you mixer then using a program like adobe audition (these kind of programs tend to be found around the place...) and use a noise filter plugin where you select the time coded single as the noise profile, then run the filter on the rest of the file. This doesnt make much sense since I currently can't be botherd but once your using the program youll know what im talking about. |

m-audio firewire 410 and Bias Peak Pro 5.2 on a 1.67 G4 powerbook.
i guess i could just unplug the through connection and just have the line out from serato to the mixer.
the bit about filtering out the frequency of the time-code would work, but i need a more permanent solution. i'll play with it a little more tomorrow and let you guys know if i can narrow down the problem. |

Im pretty sure its your mixer channels bleeding abit, not much you can do about it, besids unplugging that is.
This topic reminds me... do you also get a hum when actually using the phono through channels? |

| not using serato, but djdecks with a u46dj soundcard, you have to mute the monitor channels on the soundcard, otherwise the TCV sound comes through as well as the track playing. I doubt serato has such a setting given it's a 1-use soundcard. |

| Did/do you have the THRU outputs connected as well? Then yes you could have some cross bleed between the phono and line inputs. Disconnect the THRU outputs on the SL1 and see if that helps. |
