Macbook with VCI 100 + Traktor Pro - Answer to my problems?? Posted on: 26.08.2009 by Bari Pontoon Hello everyone...After recently getting a VCI 100 (ordering the arcade and firmware kit) & a Dell Vostro A860 Laptop (2ghz dual core, 4gb Ram, Vista Ultimate) I came into the problem, it seems all other windows users are having - Traktor crashing.. Im now looking into getting a Macbook - From what I've read all mac users are having 'NO' problems with the VCI 100 & Traktor Pro... Correct?? Also Im looking into a 13" Macbook (2007) 2ghz Dual core 2gb Ram But also Macbook Pro (not the latest unibody ones) 13" & 15" 2gb Ram - 2ghz Core 2 Duo Im guesing the Mac pro's will be fine?.. But will the 2006/2007 Macbook be sufficient? (also I will probly upgrade to the latest Mac os whichever I get, if that is reccomended?) Thanks in advance Inov8 | |

| Madlyn Trocino 30.09.2009 | I cant believe after all this time the dreaded Traktor LED & VCI problem still exsists. I thought Traktor Pro had addressed this ?? Can anyone confirm this? Also I dont believe this is a Windows exclusive problem. I remember reading the posts back when 3.4 came out (when all the midi problems began) and I remember it affecting Mac & Window users alike? |

| Vernon Positano 27.08.2009 | Of course, you could do what us windows users do, and just turn off midi out, and hey presto.. no more crashes. |
| Freda Iafelice 26.08.2009 | Yep, that should work. I had a 1st gen black macbook that had tons of issues, but the newer ones should be perfect. |

| Classie Alvizo 26.08.2009 | hey yeah the spec of those macs should be fine for Traktor, and you may also wanna have a look here.. http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=6830 k |
| Salina Belonga 26.08.2009 | I have a last-production model Blackbook (13" black macbook) with 4 GB of RAM. I frequently run upwards of 8-10 programs without even a hiccup. This frequently entails running Pro Tools, Traktor Pro, Ableton Live, iTunes, Firefox, Mail, Photoshop, and iChat at the same time (most together, minus photoshop) Plus i believe they look the coolest of all the mac lineup. Check ebay (be careful!) and other places for a used Blackbook. It will make you happy! |
| Freda Iafelice 27.08.2009 | I have a pre-unibody macbook pro (the immediate prior version), and it handles Traktor like a champ. Not even a blip on the CPU scale with multiple effects, etc. I'm not using a VCI, but I imagine the combo would work fine. To save some $$, you might look at the refurb models of the prior generation, usually available through the online apple store. |
| Hipolito Scionti 26.08.2009 | I'm running a macbook pro, the one before the unibody came out, with latest Mac OSX. You don't need Macbook Pro, Macbook would probably cut it for audio. But if you ever want to do any video editing etc you'll need a pro You can get good deals on macs here http://www.jigsaw24.com/ Macs are more solid than PCs in general IMO although Windows 7 is supposed to be great - you won't look back. |
| Lilliana Perris 26.08.2009 | Hey! I have that exact setup. Macbook 13" - 2007. It has 2GB RAM and 2Ghz Dual Core Intel CPU. I have no problems or latency issues. I also use the NI Audio 4 DJ, however. But to answer your question.....yes....these things are MADE to run with Mac's! Not really.....but they work the best IMHO. |
