    mixer trouble

    ive had my numark mixer for about 2 years,and the faders have all started making a horrible crackling sound.
    is there any way of fixing this or is it fucked??? :(

    if it has replacable crossfaders you can sort that but it sounds like buying a new one would be a good idea. i think it has something to do with dust getting in the grooves. same deal happened with my numark mixer. i bought a new one and now i keep it covered all the time wen im not using it.

    The line faders are replacable. £230 for a set of faders though :eek: :eek: Might as well buy a new mixer at that price.

    @ the original question, put some fader lube on them, should cure it temporarily.
