Traktor crackling when loading a track WHILE sending midi clock & using JackRouter

[alienjournalism]

Just got a VCI-400 and am having a serious issue!
When sending midi clock Traktor crackles/ freezes whenever I load a track while another is playing.
When I turn off the Clock Send... no issues.

I am sending clock to Live via MidiYoke and piping audio to Live via JackRouter.
Changing buffer size in Jack, clock offset in Traktor, and having EXT enabled in Live have no effect.

It never did this on my former soundcards (MBox Pro3, NI AK-1, M-Audio FW1814), then again, the clock signal was always so squirrelly in Live I gave up on it and have been using ClyphX commands to +/- BPM in Live manually...

For some reason, though, once I got my VCI set up and tried syncing...it works! Still jumps around a little in Live but behaves well enough to use for DJ stuff.

This would be a miracle for me as I'm using Live as a sampler/FX unit and my sets go all over the place tempo-wise. I'm trying hard to simplify my DJ workflow, esp after replacing a crap ton of cheap controllers with the VCI...any help is most appreciated!

unfortunately I never really got it to work right. the clock sync bt the two programs is super skittish at least on my laptop. I've seen it work fine on Macs using soundflower though...

sounds like a full buffer issue, increase your latency on the sound cards asio driver app, turn off multicore support in traktor, and set traktors affinity to a single core using task manager (alt+cttrl+del)

Not sure this is relevant at all, but have been watching this thread as I've had some crackling issues since using midi-out too. (mine seemed random though, not only when loading)

Just solved the issue by using a different USB cable between VCI and PC. What's weird is that the cable works fine when I've disconnected the USB-Midi.

I'm wondering if it isn't some grounding type issue - the offending cable is fairly beefy and might be transferring something it shouldn't... my midi-clocked synth runs back through the VCI, so there is chance for various loops. Also, where I live, almost no power outlets are grounded anyway.

Might be completely off-course, but easy enough to try.
