Help! I can't get my S4 to crash!
Help! I can't get my S4 to crash! Posted on: 08.07.2011 by Fady Soliman I just got my S4 this week and can't keep my hands off it! Been mixing with it and playing with all the features that I forgot to put the software and controller through my testing trials. First thing I do when updating software or adding new hardware to my DJ setup is try it's limits. So last evening I went crazy with it and to my surprise I couldn't get it to crash or even a drop out in sound! My Asus laptop is over 3 years old running windows XP with a whole bunch of unneeded stuff turned off. I brought the lantency as low as it will go and the only issue I had was the CPU meter was maxed out. This is with using all samples, loops, FX, and scratching at the same time! With my Ecler I can bring it down to 5ms min but any lower and the sound would cut out. Wow I'm very surprised! The only time I get a glitch in sound is when switching through the FX. Hope the updated traktor will fix this, haven't had time to upgrade yet. | |

| Nick Ross 08.07.2011 | LOLz...title gave me a good laugh |
| Kristofer Krauel 09.07.2011 | Glad to hear it mate. There is a lot of bad press about the s4 and Windows but a little tweaking here and there sorts it out no problem. All I do is turn off wifi, disable the battery manager and shut off mcafee and my s4 is good to go!! |
| Fady Soliman 08.07.2011 | Yeah I was a bit worried about that. I've had more problems with my Ecler with sound dropping but tweaked my laptop to stabilize it. I do want to test it with windows 7 cuz I had big problems running my Ecler on that. |
