Traktor keeps crashing and I have an important gig coming up :(
Traktor keeps crashing and I have an important gig coming up :( Posted on: 18.07.2012 by Ninfa Mazariegos Hey all. I use an audio 10 with 2.5 on 4gig ram vista machine. A few months back I wiped the hard drive and upgraded from traktor pro 1. I set the display settings to performance and system to run in background, as well as deactivating wifi. If I have a track playing and drop in a new track, the cpu overloads from scanning the track and traktor freezes or the whole computer just shuts down.Last weekend I was playing at a friends party and after loading an unscanned track, my computer froze and I had to restart it. When I opened traktor, all my folders were now red with X's through them and the tracks were missing. I backed traktor up a few weeks ago, so I imagine they should still be in a file somewhere. A friend and I are trying to create an electronic music scene in our area and on the 27th we are renting out the local community center and have hired a pro sound guy to bring a stack of speakers so we can blast these kids with bass. Only problem is my friend will be running his outputs into deck c and our mic into deck d and I am worried that strain of running four decks will kill my computer and cause a long period of silence. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to keep things running smoothly and get my folders back? | |
| Ninfa Mazariegos 18.07.2012 | I got this computer right before 7 came out, so I just missed out on that. It worked fine in the past. I plan on getting a midifighter 3d for sample deck control, so I don't want to roll back. Getting a new computer before the 27th is highly improbable because of financial reasons and I don't have time to research computers at the moment. I don't really want to spend the money on an update because the display on my Asus X83VB-X2 is bad and it is two and a half years old. It hasn't been a problem because I have a monitor set at a 45 |

| Zetta Radlinger 19.07.2012 | 2.1.3 2.1.3 2.1.3 just listen to other users and use this version/ viola no problems- even with that vista computer |
| Latoria Kavulich 19.07.2012 | Vista Traktor 2.5 There's your problem right there sir. |
| Roseanna Signorini 18.07.2012 | sometimes, you have to wait if it has a lot of tracks to analyze, it may look like its frozen but you have to give it some time |
| Ninfa Mazariegos 18.07.2012 | Sorry guys, I keep getting your replies after I respond because i'm typing on my phone and I type slow. |
| Ninfa Mazariegos 18.07.2012 | I analyzed my collection and it said that there were a numerous amount of tracks that have not been analyzed. Which, before my computer crashed over the weekend, I had analyzed everything and it ran zeros across the board as far as missing or unanslyzed tracks. Whatever happened, it lost info on tracks as well. When I clicked to analyze the missing tracks, my computer died just now and I had to restart it. |
| Roseanna Signorini 18.07.2012 | Enabling multicore will make things worse....I would bring your latency up and I would disable everything, not just turning the wifi off but going into the device manager and disabling everything that is not needed, the network adapters, internal soundcard, all of that. Optimize as best you can. Also download this DPCLAT checker http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml the red spikes means something is using too much of the CPU, you just have to figure out what it is. Do it whilr Traktor is not running because Traktor will make it spike. |

| Ninfa Mazariegos 18.07.2012 | It has five usb slots and each one is filled. Could it be taxing on the cpu if I have three controllers, an audio10, and a usb powered minidsp connected? Do I need a powered usb hub? |

| Roseanna Signorini 18.07.2012 | I believe your problem is Vista. The red X through everything means that traktor couldn't locate the tracks, they still exist, just have to do a consistency check and relocate. I would also consider picking up a soundboard. You don't have to spend a lot of money, somethinhg simple for like $200 or less. You won't have to run a mic through a deck. |
| Celine Surico 18.07.2012 | Something post-vista like Windows 7? Get a totally wiped out new disk partition, install Windows 7 and just the drivers you need + Traktor. If you use Traktor 2.5, the key lock mode has performance issues so just roll back to 2.1.3. If still problems, most likely you have a laptop that does not have enough CPU power to handle Traktor -- but that has to be a really old laptop. |
| Ninfa Mazariegos 18.07.2012 | I also have key lock disabled and multicore support disabled. |
