How are your decks connected to Ableton? Are they earthed???? Have you turned any wifi or wireless devices off whilst recording? Could be one of a million things, we need more info on your setup

Are they each plugged into a separate USB port on your computer or are they sharing one port via a hub?

Thanks in advance :)
