Will my Laptop Run Traktor Pro 2?

Will my Laptop Run Traktor Pro 2? Posted on: 08.03.2012 by Garfield Scheurich With the S2 being only $399, I am about to pull the trigger on buying one. That is if it is compatable with my Gateway notebook. I have no DJ experience and am not very good with computers. I will be jumping right into the deep end, so I need help! Will my laptop run the Traktor Kontrol Pro 2 software without all the glitching problems I have been hearing about? Make: Gateway. Model: MX6455 Platinum Edition Notebook. Software: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition. Operates At: 2.0 GHz, 1 MB L2 Cache and Hyper Transport. Technology at up to 1600 MHz. Thats all I really know about the laptop because it says so on the side of the box. Thanks in advance guys! (and girls)
Chong Prestwich 15.03.2012	agree with the last few posters. nothing wrong with getting a mac as they should run smoother "out of the box" and the build quality is excellent. this is the reason why they last "5 years", not because they are specced better than a windows laptop. a

Garfield Scheurich 18.03.2012	Originally Posted by DJAdamDaniel if it's only gunna take 2 weeks longer to save for the mac i say go for it. if you can save money that easily though you should aim for a pair of cdj2000s by the end of summer At the very best, I can save $400 a paycheck. With what I have saved already, that is 6 more weeks to go minimum. I might have to wait the extra 2 weeks for the headphones and accessories. Thats 2 more months of waiting. I dont believe I could wait any longer if I want to get my first gig by this summer because I'll still have to do live sound.

You can't compare a Macbook Pro to a entry level consumer notebook... Of course it's going to last longer. Now if you compare it to a Dell Precision or HP Elitebook, then we are talking a proper comparison. And Macs CAN get viruses... there simply aren't that many being developed for them, which leads people to believe Macs "never get viruses." . This is so on point. +1

Macs on the other hand you don't pay for virus protection they never get viruses and live a lot longer then your average windows pc. Think about the long run.. Will you upgraded more parts in your pc over the next years? New ram? New Sound card? Video Card? Etc.. The cost is about the same to a 1,200.00 macbook pro which comes stock with the top of the line processor & ram. I would lean towards the 1,200.00 macbook pro 13" thats what i have, bought macbook pro 13" & traktor s2 same day at guitar center, went home and started learning within a hour of registering my mac online. Nortan is possibly one of the worst bits of antivirus software you can ever install on a computer, It's sold to people who don't have a clue what they are doing IMO. Theres plenty of free software which does an adequate job of keeping any malware at bay, and if you know a bit about computers and have some common sense you shouldn't even need anti-virus software. He has said he doesn't want a Mac. Why do people insist on recommending Macs as if they are the only laptops you can get which are reliable.

The cost is about the same to a 1,200.00 macbook pro which comes stock with the top of the line processor & ram. Why would you need to upgrade a basic machine that can run Traktor flawlessly? It's not like PC RAM is any different from or ages any more quickly than Mac RAM. I have a Lenovo T61 from 2005 that still runs Traktor like a champ... no upgrades. P.S. Even a $2,000 MBP does not come with "top of the line" hardware. The PC market holds the crown for having the most advanced hardware available. But then again, this discussion is moot because you really don't need that advanced of a computer to run DJ software... I would lean towards the 1,200.00 macbook pro 13" thats what i have If it works for you, great. Doesn't mean it's the only option. Personally, I dislike the low resolution on those.

Garfield Scheurich 13.03.2012	Thanks for the help everyone. As it turns out my laptop does not have the power to run Traktor Pro 2. I sent my laptop to CompUSA to see if I can have them upgrade it. Hopefully that will solve this issue.
Erica Charvet 09.03.2012	You won't be able to load up 16 effects and tempo lock them with 7 effects going, but in theory, yes, you should be able to run TP2. Are you just doing simple 2 deck mixing @ 10ms latency? That really doesn't require much processing... If you already have the laptop, install it and see. If you find it doesn't cut it, sell your laptop and get something better.

Nedra Fresneda 08.03.2012	You might want to put 2gb of ram in it since it's the minimum required by T2. Not sure about the processor, i've always been an intel guy.
