5.6 Can I play my records at 45 RPM instead of 33 RPM?
Yes. Go to „File -> Options -> Timecode“ and check the box next to „45 RPM“. Now re-calibrate Spin!
2(makesurethattheturntable‘spitchfaderissetto„0“).
5.7 Why are both tracks being played on the same channel?
Both players are routed to the same OUT PORT. In the Info Screen, click on the number after „Out
Port“ to change the routing. Typically you will want to route the left channel to Port 1 and the right
one to Port 2.
5.8 Why is there no signal?
There are several possibilities, please check the following:
•Isyourmixer/ampturnedon?Aregain,lineandmastercontrolsturnedup?

5.9 Can I use the interface as a sound card?
You can use the Spin! 2 interface as a mobile USB sound card with two stereo inputs and two stereo
outputs. Also it features a microphone input with adjustable gain. If you use the mic input it will work
instead of stereo input 1.
5.9.1 What do I have to observe if I use a Shure M44-7?
This cartridge will need a phase inversion. Go to „File -> Options -> Timecode“ and tick the box next
to „Phase Inverse“.
5.9.2 Why is the music skipping a beat now and then?
The cause may be a hard disc that is too slow. One solution is to set the setting “Load Tracks to
RAM” to “rapid” under “options>system”. Furthermore it is recommended to defragment the hard
disc where the tracks are stored in order to optimize the reading abilities.
5.9.3 Why does the speed / the pitch of my tracks uctuate?
There are several reasons for this:
•Spin!2isnotcalibrated
•theneddleisdirty/dusty
•thereistoomuchweightontheneedle
•theneedleiswornout
•thetimecodevinyliswornout(scratches,cueburn)ordirty

right-clicking into the list. The tracks will be played alternately between both players.
