The unthinkable happened three times at my last gig, and now I'm afraid to ever get in the booth again.
In the dead middle of a set, the audio went completely distorted, not just a crackle or a dropout, I'm talking garbled, static, digital nightmare piercing to the eardrum.
The entire room was silent (except for the boos and jeering), as I had to fumble for my ipod backup and reboot the computer. It happened once more at the end of the night.
Anybody had this happen, and anybody know why it did? I've had the occasional 2 second audio dropout, but this was different, and it couldn't be fixed without a reboot.
My setup is Traktor Pro 1.3, Audio Kontrol 1 with 2.0 driver, Windows 7 32 bit laptop 2.0 GHz dual pentium with 4 GB of RAM, Vestax VCI-100 controller, and WD Passport external drive.
I've used this same setup for quite a while with no issues until now. All visual effects in Windows 7 are turned off for performance, and I've always followed the Windows tuning tips to a tee from NI's website. They claim full Windows 7 support.
