Every now and then when loading a new song onto a deck via my keyboard I get a short drop out. This problem doesn't occur when using midi so it confuses me a little. Has anyone experienced this or know a way to solve it?

might be that the load on your computer is a little too much for that split second
Always the same songs or?
Denon X600 - 2x Denon SC-2000 - AKG K181DJ - NI Audio 2
I've done almost everything to optimize my cpu and it really only happens when loading tracks every once in a while (regardless of the track).

I get the occasional dropout but always with the same songs so I contribute that to the songs, not the software.
Do you use a separate partition on your HDD? What win?

Have you tried holding your breath?
Download this "DPC Latency Checker" http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
Run this in the background or minimise your windows so you can see it along with Traktor and when you drag/drop a song, watch the meters. If it goes above about 400ms or sharply in to the red, then your issue is overloading your PC/laptop. I found mine used to do this on an old one.
What steps have you taken to optimising your laptop?
I found it would do it more, if I was dropping a track on from the other drive in my laptop.
Have you analysed all your tracks, prior to when youre DJing?
Back to optimising, I have since bought a new laptop (did the same on my old one as well), but I do:
Dual boot, one dedicated for Traktor/Ableton.
Gone through just about every optimisation for audio help guides I can find.
Run a script - Specifically this one. You can edit it before you make it a .bat file, so if you need wifi or bluetooth, you can remove these

My latency sits around 70ms when in IDLE and when I run the script drops to about 30/40ms, even with 4 tracks playing and triple FX on each channel.
You didnt state whether you ran a MAC/PC and what the specs were. CPU/RAM/HDD/OS, etc?
make sure ur NIC card is disabling if your DJing. thats like 90% of all drop outs

Mom, the meatloaf!
Sounds like latency to me. Are the tracks you describe analysed prior to loading? This will decrease load.
