Noob saying hi.... I need some help

Hi again. Well I've got my 3000s and whilst I'm impressed by the features it disappointing that I've come across issues straight away. The CD player work fine I haven't come across any BPM fluctuations I do have a problem with the Tempo lock causing the vocals to distort. Also, when I use a USB thumb drive (16gb formated to FAT32)the music sticks at random points on random tracks. I've tried it with just one deck and it happens but if I link the decks the music is unplayable. Either way without a fix I can't risk using the decks with a USB Drive at gigs. Pity, as this was one of the reason for the purchase. Although, as CDJs these seem to be great. I have hooked these babies up to Traktor yet to see how they perform but that will be my next test.
Has anyone got any ideas what the issue might be with the sticky tracks playing (or not playing) from the thumb drive? I did use the data base builder to sort the music. The thumb drive has main folders with sub folders. Do I need to have just one main folder with all my music contained in the folder? I'm hoping not.
I intend on getting two 32gb drives one for each deck but if I can't solve the issue there's not much point in wasting my money.
Does anyone know what fixes the firmware updates give? Has anyone had similar problems?
I'm hoping one of the moderators will pick this up and offer some advice or guidance. I'd like to stick with my decks and prove that these are as good I thought they would be and that AA offer good customer service. When I tried RELOOP products I found to my expense that their support is non existent some come on AA don't let a customer walk away.

Well the sage continues, ADJ have sent me the firmware update which I'll flash later. I tried Traktor last night using the TSI from ADJ but I managed to get hold of an amended version curtesy of trikzah on YOUTUBE. I Must admit as a controller the 3000's are fantastic. I'm still having issues playing from a USB drive so I'll change install the firmware to see if that cures the issue if it doesn't I'll try using folders without sub folders. If that doesn't work I'll try some other drives but as I use the drive in my car without issues I don't think it's the card, we'll see.
Stay tuned.

Well, both decks are now running the latest firmware but I still can't trust playing files from a USB stick. For some unknown reason when playing from a USB stick it a deck will lock up and the music gets stuck in 3 to 4 sec loop like a scratched record. Not to much of a problem as I use TRaktor with a 1Tb drive so being restricted to 32Gb wasn't really an option for me but would have possibly been useful at times.
All being said I'm still more than please with the 3000's nad I had a few DJ friends come round to mine at Xmas and were surprised at the price and quality of the 3000's when compare to the so called "Club standard" decks. After all how many of you drive Ferrari's or a Rolls Royce, do you have the need to? Well all I need is a decent set of decks a mixer and but most importantly the sense to know wheat to play to keep the crowd going.
Practice and Enjoy!

You seems to be very hardworking and quite dedicative to work and your needs and most of all the things you have are just what you are in need of and nothing useless. That is a very good point in you!
