Every now and then when loading a new song onto a deck via my keyboard I get a short drop out. This problem doesn't occur when using midi so it confuses me a little. Has anyone experienced this or know a way to solve it?

might be that the load on your computer is a little too much for that split second
Always the same songs or?
I've done almost everything to optimize my cpu and it really only happens when loading tracks every once in a while (regardless of the track).
I get the occasional dropout but always with the same songs so I contribute that to the songs, not the software.
Do you use a separate partition on your HDD? What win?
Have you tried holding your breath?
Download this "DPC Latency Checker" http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
Run this in the background or minimise your windows so you can see it along with Traktor and when you drag/drop a song, watch the meters. If it goes above about 400ms or sharply in to the red, then your issue is overloading your PC/laptop. I found mine used to do this on an old one.
What steps have you taken to optimising your laptop?
I found it would do it more, if I was dropping a track on from the other drive in my laptop.
Have you analysed all your tracks, prior to when youre DJing?
Back to optimising, I have since bought a new laptop (did the same on my old one as well), but I do:
Dual boot, one dedicated for Traktor/Ableton.
Gone through just about every optimisation for audio help guides I can find.
Run a script - Specifically this one. You can edit it before you make it a .bat file, so if you need wifi or bluetooth, you can remove these

My latency sits around 70ms when in IDLE and when I run the script drops to about 30/40ms, even with 4 tracks playing and triple FX on each channel.
You didnt state whether you ran a MAC/PC and what the specs were. CPU/RAM/HDD/OS, etc?
make sure ur NIC card is disabling if your DJing. thats like 90% of all drop outs
Mom, the meatloaf!
Sounds like latency to me. Are the tracks you describe analysed prior to loading? This will decrease load.
