Traktor 1.2.6. crashing, typicall with lots of effects play on VCI100SE

[Rawfare]

So far still good...let's hope!

Definitely not disabling midi out, need to see what's going on on the controller, what loops are on etc. that would be crazy...

Someone wanted basic HW specs:
Intel Dual-core CPU T2330 @ 1.6Ghz
Win XP SP3
2 GB RAM

Now what I've noticed that it Traktor takes too long to boot, what can I do with that?

Yeah your on the low end of processing power but theres enough RAM.

How long does it take for the collection to load and how many tracks are in the collection?

Take into consideration that there are usually 2 times for collection load.
1 from a fresh start. Turn on laptop and start traktor.
And another after you close traktor and restart.
The restart will be quicker in most cases.

Collection load times increase dramatically every 10,000 songs (average) by about 40 seconds per 10,000.

My 32,000 song collection on my gig laptop takes on average 1min 25seconds

Karlos: The last time I used it on a PC it hadn't gone away.

The problem he's described sounds exactly the same too.

Disable midi out to the VCI and it'll go away.

True story.

Also, you can route the vci through bomes - you're not actually changing anything, but iirc according to some user on these forums routing it through bomes prevents overflow, which causes the freeze.

If you experience a freeze during a set, just rip out the midi cable to the vci-100. Audio will go back to normal within a couple of seconds, after which you can plug it back in.

Damn it... Yeah it sounds like it is that old issue.
