With keylock set, which ever deck was not currently playing, would regularly refuse to play a track when you hit play. The button would light up on screen, but nothing, no error, nothing, only for it to work a few seconds (and alot of presses) later.
Without an external mixer, setting your audio levels consistently is virtually impossible. The VU meters inside the upfaders are just too inaccurate.
Not sure whats causing my final issue.. but when using my VCI-100, the gain knobs would only work if I dialled the gain down low first, then brought them back up. If I started at 12 o'clock and tried to increase gain (clockwise), the onscreen gain would not increase, unless I dialled backwards first. This could be something to do with the auto gain deck settings, I'm not sure.
Out of all of those, the not playing issue was clearly the biggest problem. However, I found that if I took keylock off on both decks, that problem largely went away.. but of course, made my mixing options much more limited.
Was using a pro sound card via asio, on a 2ghz laptop with 500gb HDD and 2gb ram, under windows xp (32bit)
