Traktor Hiccup
Traktor Hiccup Posted on: 06.04.2013 by Beckie Spitler Every now and then when loading a new song onto a deck via my keyboard I get a short drop out. This problem doesn't occur when using midi so it confuses me a little. Has anyone experienced this or know a way to solve it? | |

| Warner Rotberg 18.04.2013 | One way to overcome any CPU overload, is by increasing your latency for your soundcard within Traktor. Go to your settings > audio settings and there will be an advanced button or similar and then a drop down menu and you can choose between 1 - 4 ms. Usually defaults to 1ms, but if you slowly increase until the load is a lot less or you dont get any pops/drop outs, all good. Worked for me on my old laptop. |

| Darius Goralski 16.04.2013 | What are the specs on your laptop? I hear AMD's do this more frequently than Intels, but my experience with this issue was remedied with a new harddrive. I cloned my old one to my new SSD and the issue went away - was probably latency caused by sudden drive access |

| Anissa Perusek 16.04.2013 | Mom, the meatloaf! |
| Meaghan Machold 16.04.2013 | make sure ur NIC card is disabling if your DJing. thats like 90% of all drop outs |
| Warner Rotberg 17.04.2013 | Download this "DPC Latency Checker" http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml Run this in the background or minimise your windows so you can see it along with Traktor and when you drag/drop a song, watch the meters. If it goes above about 400ms or sharply in to the red, then your issue is overloading your PC/laptop. I found mine used to do this on an old one. What steps have you taken to optimising your laptop? I found it would do it more, if I was dropping a track on from the other drive in my laptop. Have you analysed all your tracks, prior to when youre DJing? Back to optimising, I have since bought a new laptop (did the same on my old one as well), but I do: Dual boot, one dedicated for Traktor/Ableton. Gone through just about every optimisation for audio help guides I can find. Run a script - Specifically this one. You can edit it before you make it a .bat file, so if you need wifi or bluetooth, you can remove these http://www.djranking s.com/2011/08/1...-power-script/ My latency sits around 70ms when in IDLE and when I run the script drops to about 30/40ms, even with 4 tracks playing and triple FX on each channel. You didnt state whether you ran a MAC/PC and what the specs were. CPU/RAM/HDD/OS, etc? |
| Sonja Roybal 16.04.2013 | Have you tried holding your breath? |
| Isa Erik 16.04.2013 | I get the occasional dropout but always with the same songs so I contribute that to the songs, not the software. Do you use a separate partition on your HDD? What win? |
| Beckie Spitler 16.04.2013 | I've done almost everything to optimize my cpu and it really only happens when loading tracks every once in a while (regardless of the track). |
| Isa Erik 07.04.2013 | Always the same songs or? |
| Remedios Cario 07.04.2013 | might be that the load on your computer is a little too much for that split second |
