Suggestions for new computer please

Do you keep your BIOS version up to date? This is first step in optimizing your PC for DJing.

I also have i3 dual core with 4GB RAM in my Windows laptop and it's also struggling to properly run two decks in Traktor... I can use S2 with default mapping with no real problem but, as you already said it, any complex mapping chokes the CPU and I don't even have the Key locked.

i5 dual core with 8GB runs things more smoothly but I wouldn't guarantee no spikes and pops at all while using Keylock and complex setup.

I'd only make sure that the processor is some i5 quad core with 8GB DDR3 2400Mhz and you're all set.

Thanks DJ Double You...

What model num is the Asrock?

It was an asrock fm2a88m extreme6+ but man I think 99% of the setups do not have any problems so I think you should not focus too much on this specific motherboard (great motherboard though)

Thank you to both of you. I'll go all out with an i7 8gb ddr3 and lots of mhz. If that dosn't work I'll sell it all get two turn tables with a good Pioneer Mixer and learn the old way of Djing.

PS I can't believe DJTechTools doesn't know what a DJ plays ?????????

Well I took a while but I just finished up a computer build. It's an MSI Z97 with an i7 CPU. 4 mhz .. Usb 3 all the trimings... AND ABSOLUTLY NO CHANGE IN MY PROBLEM !

I am lost here...

EVEN when I un plug the S8 and use the motherboard sound card.. It still skips like hell when I press the shit button on the Midifighter with Beaubryte All-in-one mapping !

Help... Please

[YvesD]

Oh yeah wanted to add.... I did a mapping to test things.. It seems the problem is with Traktor OUT mappings. As soon as you add too many everything goes bonkers....

I am completely lost on this as well, did you start with a fresh windows instalation?

[YvesD]

Yes fresh new everything... lolll... The only thing that remaines the same is the installation disk. It's a windows Ultimat !
.... Maybe I should try windows 8 or 10 ?? I don't like the new interface on those windows... But it might be worth a try.

What do you think ?

I have no idea if it would help but Windows 10 is not too bad nonetheless so you might as well try it?

[YvesD]

Well do that... I'll report back with results. Thank you

It has to be something in the water here in my home town !!!!! .....
