Switching to Serato?

removes activation for WINDOWS. not traktor. never heard of an OS that offers a tool that removes activation for every application ever..

but i agree that a simple statement like that isn't helpful or constructive at all.

You're using a pirated version of Windows XP. I have a hard time accepting that you're using a legit version of Traktor Pro as well.

I didn't say he was definately using a pirated version of Tpro. But someone who pirates WinXP is likely to pirate other software as well.

Not to mention XP being the platform traktor is running on, it's pretty touch to make a valid analysis of his Tpro problems while he's running on a hacked OS.

His problems at this juncture are really tough to diagnose, since at the VERY least he's running a hacked OS, and perhaps even running hacked software.

to solve your problem: buy a legit version of xp pro and traktor ... or just download the traktor demo version

yep cracked XP and cracked Traktor WTF and your moaning it doesnt work right

smoke the crack at home doing it in public makes you look bad

Yeah go ligit and youre problems will dissapear,
..
I started with a cracked version of TPro, but once I couldnt get updates and I noticed some features were either missing or not functioning correctly, I saved up some cash and got the legit version and its smooth sailing.

i wasn't just referring to you, but to these as well.

Add to that a laptop that meets the minimum requirements for the software and you end up with a horrible mess of a setup that shouldnt even run TETRIS nevermind Traktor . For F*cks sake you dont put bicycle tyres on a Ferrari .

Sort your laptop out.
Sort your OS out.
Sort your software out.

Yeah go ligit and youre problems will dissapear, the Ultimate Johnny version of XP is garbage. Get a ligit version and than hack away with it. I have Vista and Ive done every possible optimization tweak, crack, and hack, and the machine is a beast (by Vista Standards) I started with a cracked version of TPro, but once I couldnt get updates and I noticed some features were either missing or not functioning correctly, I saved up some cash and got the legit version and its smooth sailing. And yeah youre computer is ummm, a feather weight. You could increase your latency and see what happens, but I love 2ms latency too much, so Id buy a more powerful laptop. 3gigs of DDR Memory nice duel core processing power and a big fat HD! Dedicated graphics wouldnt hurt either.
DJing is a job of sorts, bring the right tools.

Well thanks DJ Animus! My bank account is now red!

Lol you're right though I need legit hardware I'm done with these toys.

good to see all that bantering went in the right direction :P

i think it's important to keep an open mind, even if it means switching your OS. if he's having problems with crashing, switching to a notoriously more stable OS is a valid option.

but seriously, did i miss when he admitted to using a cracked version of traktor? it seems a lot of people are jumping to conclusions. because he uses an alternative XP package doesn't mean he's pirating everything..just something to keep in mind.

this thread is intended to help diagnose HIS issues, not the issues you say he has.

Thank you for keeping things fair. But for real yall, everything is pirated.

I'm poor! Just got a job though and DJing is part of my income now (wahoo!!) so I'm becoming more legit by the day!!

I feel like I should wait for Windows 7 (feeling a lot of positive buzz) or buy a Mac. The only thing preventing me from feeling good about buying a mac is paying such an incredible premium because it's Apple. I mean compare the stats on a mac vs windows and I feel like you'll save a bunch! *puts on flame war retardant outfit*

.. to each his own it really is a personal preference, go with what works for you. but at the same time, give everything a shot. i've worked on every popular OS (yes, including linux), and i went with OSX because i liked it's reliability. this is NOT to say the others aren't reliable as well, i just went with what i felt was best for ME.

you do pay a lot for apple products, sometimes a ridiculous price that gets lowered 6 months later with additional features, but it's all business dude. that extra cost does include some bomb customer service if you have an apple store near you, those guys hooked me up pretty well every time i've been in. but back on topic, my philosophy with gear is to stay with what you're comfortable with, because it creates the best environment in which to work, which is what the ultimate goal is.

Soulja boy tellem!!!!

Well Mint.com tells me my net worth is $2,000 so buying a mac would make my net worth negative so the reason I don't have a Macbook Pro is because I don't have money in the bank.

Why don't I have all the hot equipment and an BMW M3? No money son.

Okay time to get more serious so this thread doesn't become a joke.

Thanks to everyone that contributed this has really helped me out. I will strive to make money and buy legit software & hardware.

ps. Ean Golden is the man.
