TSP1, issues with audio 8 dj

[DjLiquitATL]

I recently swapped my serato SSL for a tsp1 bc there is more u can do with traktor creatively...however, I'm having major issues with audio latency...it seems to basically work when it wants to...it crashed during a wedding on me last night....couldn't use vinyl or even play track period... what are the most common issues and how do I fix

Hp dv6000
2.0 gig ram

Like I said. Runs when it wants to.
I run setup on 2 techics ttables

what's your latency in traktor set to?

[DjLiquitATL]

By default 256/1ms...but I changed it to 512/3ms...I've reinstalled everything, turned wireless and virus programs etc off... I never had issues with serato, and never had issues when I had vci-100se setup on tp with a us46dj interface...

I know my usb cables are good but may try to change them next to 3.5ft flat lacie cables on ttlab.com since djtt is out of theirs

The USB cable rarely makes a difference, is that your latency in traktor? measured in samples (256/512 etc)? If so you must be using TSP2 as v1 only gave a ms value. Makes a difference to us finding the problem.

Did you notice anything in particular you did that made it crap out?

Its TSP1...I didn't upgrade yet to 2...would it matter if I installed 3.0 audio 8 driver?...bc when I go to adjust latency it brings up seperate window control panel for audio 8...I want to make sure program works before I upgrade or use for my next gig

I'm going to test it real quick with my tp2 non scratch program and see if any issues

[fullenglishpint]

you want to be looking at the latency in Traktor's audio preferences, not the sound card driver window.

[DjLiquitATL]

I go to audio prefs in program and it opens up seperate control panel

[fullenglishpint]

huh... never seen that. You click on prefs in traktor, audio setup and the 3rd thing there is traktor's latency. Right under where you select your audio device and sample rate.

I fixed the problem...ended up just being a power issue with laptop usb, so I am using a seperate usb hub and it works great and is set down to 2.5ms latency without cracks or dropouts

Good stuff!
