[james downes]

when i was mixing today i accidently touched the usb cable connecting my hercules rmx to my laptop (traktor) and it freezed ?

is this an issue i should address

Touched or pulled out ? .. if your unit was disconnected traktor will freeze.

Check if "touching" it again disconnects the unit, could just be a dodgy USB cable, could be the USB port on the hercules or could be the usb port on the laptop.

Refer to the above ... try re-creating the problem touching a bit more roughly at all the ports first of all, if you can't re-create the issue, It might be a breakage somewhere along the cable.

^dont derail a legitimate thread......

Try different cables in your RMX, and jiggle them, bang them, shake em around and see if they do the same. You want to find out:
-is it the cable
-is it the connection to the unit
-is it your laptop

Also, are you running off of fully powered USB ports? I find that one of my ports won't always power my external, but the other one will.

no i turned them off as it is recomended buy hercules =]

Sorry, what did you turn off?
