CONSTANT crashing when using FX banks/slicer w/ VCI-100SE & 1.4 Posted on: 14.02.2011 by Stefanie Edlin ** Just as a quick note, my original re-mapping of my original VCI-100 (1.1 or 1.2 don't remember) always worked, never crashed, no glitches, nothing **My comp is a 2.8 GHZ, 4GB ram, etc.. its a power desktop I built myself so I'm not worried about specs, ram or memory. OK, so I read the readme's, I've tried both the MAC and PC (1.4) mappings, both are fine EXCEPT when I want to do a lot of FX, I'll load up FX bank 3 or 4 (gater + whatever or beatm + whatever), use that, use the volume faders, pitch sliders, jog wheel etc... then, once in about ten or twenty times or so, the entire Traktor program will lock up and the sound output will be a 1/8 clip looped and extremely loud, like a huge glitch glitch glitch. If I restart my VCI right away (off, then back on), Traktor will delay for 1-2 seconds but continue playing the song without the FX and go back to normal. Then I'll have to go BACK into Controller Manager and reset the mappings to the midi device. Also, use the FX router gives off glitchy noises with both mappings for me (so does holding the SHIFT button sometimes), all of this is really annoying and frankly makes me wish I could go back to what I had previously before opening the entire thing and upgrading the firmware. Is there any solution to this? I have to play a show tomorrow evening ! Thank you! | |

| Doug Bieling 24.02.2011 | Turn midi out off and se if that solves your issue |
| Hipolito Scionti 24.02.2011 | Yup dude, latency is different. Check this vid: Ok Ean is talking about Traktor 2 but 6.30 mins in he gives a wicked tip for checking latency and also where it is in the settings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJQja...layer_embedded |
| Tatum Ansaldo 24.02.2011 | bitrate is not the same as latency... I'm talking about the setting inside traktor in the audio setup section. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 24.02.2011 | What's your latency in Traktor set to? And what's this NI app you're using? The flickering button LEDs are quite normal, I get that a lot and it doesn't affect audio. |
| Stefanie Edlin 23.02.2011 | Hey, So a quick update. I got the DC9 adapter. I'm now using that with my VCI-100, still no luck. Everytime I hit shift and use the pitch fader to reset the positioning, there is a little audio drop out and all the button backlights on the VCI-100 flicker as soon as I hit shift. It's so extremely frustrating, I've tried everything. I don't know what else to do, maybe go back to my original settings but leave this firmware? Ugh... hopeless. |
| Bailey Fergurson 21.02.2011 | Please let me know if the HUB stops the freezing, as I am in the same predicament as yourself. Thanks |

| Tatum Ansaldo 14.02.2011 | check your latency. that happened to me and I realised it was because I was using my built in sound card with 1ms latency and eeeeverything went all screwy. |
