Best latency settings for Traktor Pro vci100

[wrigh_a]

Hi there,

what are the recomended latency settings people are finding works best with a VCI100 and Audio 2 DJ before any pops and crackles happen?

is it better 1ms usb or 2ms usb/

Also has anyone had problems with traktor pro 1.2.7 crashing whilst loading up a WMA file?

if its not popping then leave it. u may be able to increase it tho. I run a numark dj i/o andand have the latency at 5.5ms

The latency is less about the controller and soundcard, and more about the computer. Most modern dual core laptops with at least GB's of RAM will handle <10ms. Exactly how low the latency will get requires some experimentation. Some of the bleeding edge computers are getting into the <3ms range....and that's pretty darn impressive.

On the other end of the spectrum....my original DJ computer is a 7 year old 1.6GHz P4 with 512MB of RAM. I ran with 40ms latency. Any less, and it would very occasionally drop the audio (once every 3 or 4 gigs). After a RAM upgrade to 1GB, I was able to lower the latency to 25ms....but I was also *brutal* in killing off non-essential processes. Needless to say, this would not make a good laptop to hook to a MIDI controller. But for keyboard & mouse DJing I still get a lot of use out of this setup. (Oh, and I'm not running Traktor on this...I use BPM Studio, which has a *very* small footprint when running.)

ive just got a macbook pro, and i can set the latency right down to 1ms using my vci-100 without any problems whatsoever

My 2009 MBP can normally run at 1ms on the Audio 8 without problems.

i get 1ms on my quad core pc and an audio4

I DJ'd on Saturday night with the new 1.2.7 and Traktor crashed twice! Both times when loading a track into a deck. The first time it just required Traktor to be rebooted. The 2nd time, it wouldn't let me close and reopen Traktor. Kept saying 'another process is already running'. I had to reboot my laptop and wait, with a dancefloor full of people whistling and jeering! Good fun, naaaat.

My problem I'm having is that I have read the forum DJTT & N.I.'s & am still having problems with Delay. I predominately play Funk, breaks & am a Turntablist. Scratching Is nearly impossible. And when I back cue, the wave form is jumping around all over. And I'm not even using my Snd Card. While I'm waiting on my firmware device to upgrade I still figured the controller to be able to, at the least, be able to do this. It must be a problem on my part, because I cant imagine the controller performing this poorly...?
Any Suggestions would be most appreciated.

My apologies in Advance if this is not the correct place for this post..

Vci-100 v.1.2
MacBook (Intel)/ 1G Ram
Numark I/O

@Goldbar3: You need more RAM.
