    Default Macbook questions!

    Iv been moochin' around the NI forums and noticed a lot of threads about the audio 4/8 cracklin and poppin on the unibodies! Any body on here had this issue? secondly, someone made a comment about to make traktor work properly you need the 'GT' graphics card and not the built in 'M' one?

    Im fairly gutted as I was going to buy an audio 8 and a macbook pro. Can't justify paying 200 pound more for a 'GT' graphics card and especially if its going to crack and pop like my old dell.

    If people were running Traktor Pro on the older white Macbooks then the Nvidia 9400M graphics should be more then enough.

    Whoever told you that you need the GT graphics card is a liar.

    Sure, it may run infiintisemally faster, but I can garuntee you won't notice. I'm running Traktor on a netbook (nothing but integrated graphics) and it works fine.

    something to do with a driver clash with the on-board graphics card and the audio 8

    But the audio 8 is an audio card and not related to graphics. That confuses me.

    I'd call NI customer service to see if they know if anybody reports issues about it, 'cause it seems like a silly thing, but I must admit I don't know enough about drivers and how they work to say for sure that it is a silly thing.

    It's all over the NI forums. Serato had an issue with the new unibody aswel but I think serato is fixed.

    Not sure how to copy and paste on the iPhone! Go on dj forums then the audio 8 section
