    Default Been getting some dropouts early in a set

    Been getting some drop outs and Traktor CPU bar maxes out, but only for during the first 15 minutes or so of playing and only when messing around with FX or assigning them. I though it could be the Superknob TSI, but it seems like traktor calms down after a bit. I have a brand new Macbook Pro i5. when I use my VCI, no issues at all, and after playing for a while things go back to normal.

    Anyone else having similar issues?

    Yeah, this is "normal" i guess. I press all my superknobs and relative buttons during soundcheck because traktor does do a dropout on first press. Always.

    If anyone has a solution for this I would love to hear it.

    Same issue here...it seems to be when I use super knobs or buttons with major mappings.

    Beatzzz....do you get drops after playing for a while or only at first?

    I was getting it doing just delay freezes - no superknob action going. But then it went away. I remember in 1.2.4 I think, I would go and press each button once before starting to play.

    I'm starting to get them and the CPU bar max when I press on the jog plate and move the track just a hair after it's loaded.

    I'll test tomorrow...on windows 7 I sometimes run a program called game booster that usually clears things up. I've been doing some mega mapping lately and had a feeling my x1 or maschine may have freaked out T2.

    How many devices are you guys running?

    it's getting way worse.

    Today i got drop outs a good 20 times within the first 10 minutes of playing. From anything, just loading song. CPU bar maxes out = drop out. So after about 15 minutes of playing and mashing every button all was good. Then out of no where i just hit play and my CPU bar maxes out and I get a disturbing drop out.

    Wondering if it's my Macbook? Or if it's the superknob TSI?

    gonna play with out the super knob and check it out, but that would suck too!
