i am currently ussing sony vaio vpceb3m1e
2011 model
intel core i3 2,4 ghz
4gb ram
ATI radeon graphics
500gb HDD
windows home premium 64bit
i use pioneer ddj t1
my pc is optimized for full power on graphics proccesor also usb setting etc, running only the needed applications to start up and its being used only for djing. also on bios options c3/c6 support etc disabled. all are running full power and latency check done with latency mon running more than 2 hours results was maximum latency 120μs and average 90μs.
traktor was running fine for 3-4 (10-20 gigs) months using the version 2.6.4 then i had some issues with waveform freezing and music stop playing. i check my logs found an error when loading a track.
i've been told from NI support staff to update to 2.6.8 as this was a known issue and had been fixed.
i've did so, the error in log now gone. but last night when i was playing after a 6 hours of gig deck B waveform froze similar to a froze i had in 2.6.4 which i recorded traktors behavior after the freeze occurred. the music that is heard on video is from other backup pc.
after that froze in waveform happens, traktor and ddj t1 seem to communicate without problem, all knobs buttons jogwheels work instantly without delay(you can see in the video that i move the jogwheel and tempo changing) but music dont come out and waveform is stuck or moving like goin in slow motion but still no sound comes out.
this is solved after i restart traktor. not my controller or my lappy.traktor even closes normal without any warning about stucking or something not goin well.
i am sure that its not a latency issue cause my latency is no more than 120μs.
i am really mad that i cannot perform how i should be. i really like traktor but that cannot happen again.
i have contacted NI support, we are in touch for like 1 month or so but we didnt find something more than updating to 2.6.8 that still gives me the problem.
besides that sometimes when loading a song the GUI goes laggy for a sec or 2 and then it comes back to normal. during this the audio is playing without any issues. my graphics setting are set to max.
i never have audio glitches delays or so. when this happens sound stops immediately.
this happens on both 256 sample size (happened the first day after 6 hours i got the sample size from 512 to 256) but it have happened on 512 sample size also.
so, i have now made my sample size to 1024. i hope this will solve the problem, last night i've played with no problems, except the graphic stuck sometimes when loading a song.
finally i am very familiar with technology and computers, i've studied in informatics institute of technology, also i am currently servicing mobile phones,lappy's,pc's,even midi controllers.
i could really use your help cause i am out of ideas, please dont tell me buy a Macbook cause i am sick of this.
