S4/ S2 Windows users - Still have crackle and pop issues? Posted on: 14.01.2012 by Rey Holubar Hi,I was wondering, how many of you have Traktor S4 or S2 and are still plagued with the crackle and pop issues or have you finally gotten your Windows setup crackle and pop free. Please vote! scamo | |

| Random X 08.02.2012 | I believe it depends on what you're doing, controllerist routines, than I gotta agree, if it's traditional DJing, I believe 15 is quite acceptable as wel. |
| Rey Holubar 08.02.2012 | Yeah, Ean says a latency of 10ms is about max for a professional performance situation. scamo |

| Yolande Gudorf 08.02.2012 | i tried every port in my comp, still have problems, now i rise the latency to 10 ms, in task manager i see that traktor take 26% of cpu, but in traktor load meter jump everytime up/down. but only when i choose soundcard of s2, DPC latency checker show latency 200-300 max, but levelmeter in traktor till jump like crazy((( |
| Markita Barchard 07.02.2012 | When I first got my S2 and Traktor going I was getting intermittent drop outs. I simply switch my usb cord to another port on my laptop and everything was fine. Switched from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 |
| Yolande Gudorf 06.02.2012 | i have main power connected, i disabled everything that possible in services. still issues(( |
| Chong Prestwich 06.02.2012 | flashing triangle is probably due to not having the mains power plugged in. could be graphics drivers - turn off anything related to "enhanced" "optimising" etc in graphics options. HDD monitoring software and battery management software can hinder performance too, some people run even without a battery! i managed to get my i3 4GB ram laptop working fine can even browse the net via wifi while mixing. i just followed the tips on the NI website |
| Yolande Gudorf 05.02.2012 | Hi guys, week ago, ive changed my denon mc6000 to s2 , and from this point i cannot run TP2 like before((( ive used 2.0.3 with 2 decks and 2 sample decks with 4 chained effects and with no issues , also with latency 6 ms. But when ive connect the S2, i used to install 2.1.2 and as began a problem(( first of all small triangle on s2 begin to flash, cpu load in traktor jump to red zone, and sound like a crap((( I tried to change latency, turn multicore on off, used djtt optimizer, turn everything that no need off, and also did fresh instal of win7 64, with no other programs, and still have same problem, and what especialy driveme a crazy, that also when i go back to 2.0.3 and connect denon back, the issues didnt dissapeared.... But when i tryed s2 with 2.1.2 on another laptop or my desktop it worked fine. So what can be a problem??? My specs: lg r710 c2d 6400, 4 gb ram, 2 hdd, ati 3660 |

| Rey Holubar 03.02.2012 | Thanks for the tip jackied. scamo |
| Marcelina Feliu 02.02.2012 | solved major CPU/audio problems by using software from iobit Check my post: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=45978 |
| Margurite Mcnamar 22.01.2012 | Windows 7 on an Asus G73 (i7, nVidea 460m, 2 hard drives, 8g ram) Had tons of issues with the software being non-responsive, it was reading the controller fine but nothing would play. When it would play I would get random freezes that would last anywhere from a second or two to me having to restart Traktor. Then it changed to irritating buzzing sounds when turning on effects or other commands. So solve it I did the following: - Set up dual boot - Turned off windows aero and all other effects - totally disabled my wireless (not just turned off) - disabled my internal soundcard and speakers - don't have any software installed other than itunes and traktor - made sure usb ports don't go to sleep ever - gave running apps processor priority - stopped a lot of startup processes like the print spooler or windows updates - performance settings are as high as they can go After that I still had the software freeze on me twice at one house party so I went back to trouble shooting and found that my track pad drivers were causing problems. - I uninstalled Synaptics and switched to the default windows track pad driver changing to the default windows drivers for the track pad seems to have gotten rid of the last of my problems, which probably means that half the stuff I did before that was totally unnecessary but oh well. I still get buzzes sometimes when I turn the filters for the first time after starting the software. Now when I turn on the s4 I'm in the habit of turning all the filters to both of their extremes then back to zero. I do the same with the effect dry/wet knobs, the channel faders, and sometimes the eq knobs. I'm pretty sure it just has something to do with them being calibrated when you start the software and s4. |
| Len Lukawski 22.01.2012 | If I have an issue I just use SHIFT+T, SHIFT+T, SHIFT+T. Works a charm. |
| Josefina Schutten 22.01.2012 | i had a little problem with wi-fi and with hi cpu...but i've fixed it |
| Jessika Welbourne 21.01.2012 | Traktor 2 used to crackle and pop with me. I did the usual web searches and before using TP2 I do the following; Turn off WiFi, Turn off Battery (and remove it from my laptop!). Run my downloaded DJTT Pro Audio Optimiser Script to prep my laptop I'm running the latest version of TP2 with my S4, and I still get very high CPU usage every now and then! Very occasionally I will get a click or pop when I have something like two decks running, 1 or 2 effects and am using the jog wheel. I am running it on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop with i3 processor. Not the best spec I know, but I find it disappointing that I have to do so much to my laptop to make it run! |
| Rey Holubar 21.01.2012 | Hey Mert, Yeah, using the S4 as the regular sound card for surfing the Internet and listening to sounds from the Internet is horrible on my set-up too. So obviously, NI still has its work cut out. I've found a way to reduce the problems some. It was actually an accident. I have virtual audio cable installed and I went through it just for SnGs and for some reason the pops are much less, but then the sound is delayed enough, that videos on youtube look like Chinese Kungfu movies. Hehehe....so no real help there either. Keep the votes coming. I have an ulterior motive with this poll (towards NI) and need all the votes I can get! Thanks everyone! scamo |
| Monty Strauder 21.01.2012 | I got Dropouts if my Wifi is on... when iam switching it Off... just a few seconds a dropout... and after this everything is clear... but if i dont use traktor and use only my S4 Soundcard and watching Youtube or listen to music on Soundcloud... Pufff P |
