Up your computers sample rate to 48k, if it's not already, and also make sure it's 48k in Traktor. Then check your latency.

How do you mean? I am using the latest drivers from the TP2 2.5.1 update installer.
I'm using Lion, I don't really know what version of OSX it is, as I use bootcamp with windows but use OSX for Traktor. But I know it's a fully updated Lion install.
Wouldn't that up the latency as it's a higher sampling rate therefore demanding more CPU?
I really appreciate all the help guys, thanks!

click your apple in the top bar and then click about this mac. under OS X it will have a version number
UP your sample rate to 48K, it will drop your latency.

I'm currently running windoze so this may not be the case in mac? But i'll throw it out anyway in case it is.
There is a second option on soundcard settings. make sure it's set to the internal soundcard not traktor. This recently fixed my latency problems.

The setting doesn't exist on OS X, it will automatically jump to your internal soundcard when you unplug the external one.

This would certainly not improve audio quality, on the contrary. You're introducing a round of sample rate conversion that is completely unneeded since the source material is at 44.1 kHz. It will also not do anything to enable lower latency than the system is capable of at 44.1. The latency for a given buffer size is inversely related to sample rate, as you hinted at, but processing power requirements for a given buffer size are directly related to sample rate. The OP is at their system limit with any reduction in buffer size at the current sample rate inducing overload, resulting from processing power shortage, not buffer size as such. Upping the sample rate will have the same effect as lowering buffer size, but at further reduced sound quality.
We'll have to agree to disagree then. You're assuming a 44.1k sample rate as the nominal rate for source. That's only if you ripped and/or downloaded your entire collection at 44.1. Regardless, 48K is re-sampling the bits at a higher rate, so if it's 128, 192, 320 mp3 OR 44.1k wav file, if the end result is 48k, it's output is at a higher sample rate, resulting in a truer reproduction of whatever the source is. As it stands, the OP hasn't stated what his latency is at, so there's no way to assume that he's at the limit of his processing power. All I can say is the OP's computer has a better processor than mine and mine (set to what I recommended) works flawlessly with an audio8 and a latency of 7.8 using 4 standard decks and full FX.
