    Default Question for Windows Users - TRAKTOR 2

    Hey guys, traktor is running excellent on 2 laptops but I have one issue. When I adjust screen brightness I get a glitch on both machines. I searched and saw others have the same issue, have any of you found a work around? I have a dell i5 XPS and a dell E6400. I am going to run the E6400 as a dedicated traktor machine. It actually works better in traktor than the XPS does! Maybe this will change once we get multiprocessor support.

    i'm running a hp with i3 processor and had all sorts of glitches when i first got it. do you use the script that smitten wrote for windows optimisation, its absolutely brilliant and ironed out most of my glitches, after that i just run absolutely everything with no power saving and it runs like a charm.

    What exactly is the "glitch"?

    Here's my workaround: when running Traktor, don't adjust your screen brightness

    I'm not running Traktor, I run Torq.
    However I used to get issues on my Dell Inspiron E1705 because of the Quickset running & also the Synaptics Mouse.

    If you disable both of these it should help!

    @ WIll D - I don't have Quickset running but maybe it's the mouse software. I'll try that, the only issue was with the generic windows driver the trackpad did not respond well.

    @ Pizzle - I hear ya man...It's kind of a bitch though, sometimes you really need to adjust.

    @ Subculture - I get pops when adjusting the screen brightness. It sounds just like a latency issue pop except it only happens if I adjust the screen. I get zero pops with anything else and my cpu usage is super low.

    @ Brian - I'll try that, right now my windows machine is pretty stripped down and everything runs great except the brighness. I use game booster but I'll try smitten's script, I know they worked hard on that


    - I'll also mention, this only happens with my S4. If I use the internal soundcard I get zero poppage.

    I haven't even tried adjusting the screen brightness while playing. Truth be told, I haven't adjusted the screen brightness since I installed TP 2.

    Is there a way to disable brightness from the fn key?
