HP Slate VS Apple Ipad

[BentoSan]

meh @ dpc latency, i get a spike every 45 seconds and everything runs smooth as. didn't even know it has that spike until a few months after calming windows down to cure a few lag/stutter issues.

Say that to the people who have serious DPC latency issues, DPC latency has a huge effect on audio performance.

If your spike was big enough then you would get a glitch every 45 seconds

could it be a thread with a mac product that we aren't just falling over ourselves with acclaim for apple? sweet

about the slate, it would have been nice to see a non netbook screen resolution but oh well.

there will be some linux tablets coming out soon too.

I am as shocked as you are

A macbook pro is a tried and tested, solid and reliable computer for use with high performance dj software...

An ipad is a flash toy for sending email, reading books and surfing the web, etc...

It's not a computer... yet

don't get me wrong, i appreciate it is a problem for some, but it's not the only thing that needs considering.
my point was more you can still run with a spike, and sometimes there's bigger things to worry about. like it only just meeting min requirements.

i've recently got a touch tablet from china as i was really interested in seeing how traktor would run. The spec is pretty much what the slate will be - 1.6G atom, 10' touch screen bla bla, although i had the supplier stuff in 2G ram. it's just a dimm so maybe on the slate they'll either offer a 2g option or it will be user upgradable.

anyway, clean win 7 system, traktor 1.2.4 on, sound card and controllers all set up, imported tunes, and weyhey it works very very nicely. very very nicely.

haven't tested it for hours yet, and if there's anything specific you want me to test on the atom by all means ask.

so far have run 2 decks with 4 effects banks. normally run 4 decks but screen real estate isn't great at 1024 x 600.

touch screen wise, i wouldn't really touch the screen for anything because i have my controllers set up so that i'd never need to. but at least if you need to click on something you are probably quicker with a touch screen than with a trackpad.

no searching for tracks by typing the name in the search box though - or at least using the windows touch input panel is going to be too slow me thinks.

i guess i have a nice 'toy' and if it tests out reliable it's a light and portable solution.

Awesome one BradCee!

KEKEKEKEKEKEKKEEK.....I enjoy your wit mate.

yeh i figure we're thinking of the same vid....which kinda made me think i could train my hamster to dj and present better than miss pad.

but honestly this was purely a test of portability - getting traktor to run on something small. the idea of having 2 of them and using touch for control doesn't appeal. i'm a buttons and knobs man.

and i'd presume people on this forum would mostly feel the same, i.e. cue point juggling routines work well on arcade buttons and MPD's but i wouldn't fancy smashing a screen to hit a cue.

Girls are quite taken with this 'pad ey?

Wonder why?

Close to home?
