| Lenny Calmes 14.11.2010 | I am having the same issues. i have optimized my system, disabled almost everything & it have no effect at all. I ran Pro for over a year with 4 midi devices & never had an issue. Ive been fighting with this for two weeks now. really a pain in the ass. Ive been pricing out MBP all morning. I havnt pulled the trigger yet but Im almost there |
| Lorita Leazenby 13.11.2010 | I have it working perfectly on my PC. It's a laptop PC, made by Apple, I really like it.[/sarcasm] Seriously, any computer by Apple is a PC, don't forget that... |
| Horacio Stranathan 13.11.2010 | running gigabit lan I should be able to grab music from the network with ease. I have since installed a wired network connection and things have gotten better. I find PC a risk though somethimes it just crashes and I believe its because once I get into a down spot of my mix and I get out the heavy effects it goes nuts. I am going the mac route! |
| Verdie Zabransky 13.11.2010 | Works fine for me, I'll only get a few pops and clicks when I've got my wireless turned on. Lenovo T500 core 2 duo P8400 @ 2.2ghz and 1gb ram. I turned off my AV as well as anything else I didn't need. Thing is it's easy to cater to Macs as they are very uniform in their components and drivers. Windows based laptops however :-/ Anyone having these issues tried a powered usb hub? |
| Kayhan Polat 12.11.2010 | i came across this problem as well LIVE at my gig at ecco lounge hollywood last evening
. sound kept dropping out then engages back 2 seconds later.. probably happened about 4-6x during my 1hr set. i never had a problem with the vci-100/traktor pro 1.2.5 setup. i have freshly formatted and all drivers up to date.. hp elitebook 8530w 3.06 ghz 4gigs ram win7 64bit although people said i rocked a good set! :eek: |
| Nilsa Boomer 12.11.2010 | doesn't TP and TPS cache a track when loaded to a deck? So working off a network share should be no issue. My MBP works flawlessly with TPS and S4, loading tracks from an NFS share over 802.11n. I'll try shutting down my NIC while loading a track into TPS and see if she crashes. |

| Maxima Lobeck 12.11.2010 | There are some problems with windows on some laptops, almost everyone i know who got S4 and have a laptop with windows, cant get S4 to gigs yet, because they always have audio drops outs and high cpu load =/. I guess they ill fix it soon....in mac that things doesnt happen, everything running smoth on my 13". NI Technical community is hot right now, people are very upset, and to be honest i understand them, a product should work without need to disable things in a computer to make it works good, even doing that the problem still there. |
| Christie Rinder 12.11.2010 | yup im going with the idea the driver is corrupt. hopefully Ni steps up and fixes it. |
| Leeanna Ayla 12.11.2010 | I'm seeing quiet a few people talk about problems with PC's and S when TPro worked fine. I'm also seeing some people saying when they use a separate sound card the problems go away. That seems to pint to maybe a driver issue so hopefully that'll work. Even a Mac can have problems if your accessing music on your network while using Traktor. Best bet is to put it on your hard drive and play off it. |
| Horacio Stranathan 12.11.2010 | I have had a few problems but I am running a P8600 2.4ghz cpu. Nothing as bad as you though. My problems mostly were from accessing music on my network. GET A MAC! thats what I am doing! |
