    Default Audio drop outs from CPU spiking?

    I just got Traktor Pro the other day and have been learning it and mixing on it, but I keep getting these audio drop outs and it seems to be from the CPU spiking as I see the CPU meter jump up to the red.

    I don't have any other apps running, bluetooth and my wireless are off as well. Any suggestions?

    What computer are you using? Do you have an audio interface or are you running your sound out of the onboard sound?

    Have you tried playing with the latency at all? Up the latency until it stops. The sweet spot around here seems to be between 11 and 15ms, which is plenty low.

    Oh, well that's not good. I'll have to leave this for someone who knows more about macs than I do. Is tehre a latency checker for macs so you can see if this is happening without anything running? That'll be a good way to see if it's your comp or the software

    Just seems odd as I just purchased the laptop and wiped the hard drive and gave it a fresh install

    Upgrade to Traktor Pro 1.1.2 and see if you are still having issues

    It could be a lot of different things. I know Dell laptops have this issue because of the motherboard. So it could be a strict hardware thing. Best way to find out is to test the latency when nothing is running and see if it naturally happens.
