Really!!?? I just cant warrant £1000+ on a macbook just for traktor. Dell latitude 2.4ghz dual core processor with 2gb of ram set me back £300. Is the £700+ extra getting me that much more stability ? not so sure seen as i havent had any issues really well apart from the midi out thing but easily solved. And We still see from this post Macs have problems. And we also saw the streamline your mac post not long ago. I think if i paid that amount on a laptop i would want it to skin up for me do the washin up ironin etc ...

Mac Vs Pc ... Massive YAWN.

If it works ... use it. Whatever platform.

But im willing to bet tha Luke gets his Mac problem sorted a lot quicker and with less tinkering than all the dissappointed people that own Dell Inspikon Laptops.
(see what i did there, i meant Inspiron but i wrote Inspikon because of the DPC problems... i shuda been on stage)

No seriously who gives a crap. Use a frickin Texas Speak n Spell if it get the job done.

yes, if i could afford it. tbh i think they're just generally better. Maybe if apple did what microsoft has and let 3rd parties put the software in their models they would be more affordable - but off topic

Been running Snow Leopard and Traktor Pro nicely since it came out with the setup in my signature with no major problems. iTunes sound quality went to shit though, my only complaint about 10.6.

Try running the Traktor pro audio out of the built in soundcard without the Fast Track Pro installed. If it works, it's your Fast Track Pro. That's my hunch.

I too had a couple of snow leopard upgrade hick-ups. Then i created a new profile, transfered all of my documents, music, etc to the new user account, removed the libraries/applications/native instruments folder, reinstalled, pointed to the new locations of the music, etc. Everything works amazingly well. After installing the latest Audio8 drivers, and traktor 1.21 i am able to get my latency down to 2.5ms at 96Khz! 0 drop outs!
I never trusted upgrades with any operating system be it mac or windows; so creating a new administrator profile and transfering all files, documents, resetting permissions seems to work well over the years. Otherwise, i backup everything to an external, format/reinstall than use time machine to restore.
