    What are your computer specs and latency settings?

    I'm using Traktor Version 2.6.5 using Mac 10.8.4
    I'm Using the Timecode Vinyl recording a Mix through Channel D on my Audio 8 sound Card - which has always worked for me in the past However now during the playback on Recorded Mix there is random skips and Jumps throughout !! Very Annoying...

    I've got this issue with windows 7 x64 on an i7, 4GB ram, dell precision m6700... It has dual internal drives, I run my OS and traktor off a solid state drive and all my music off a rotational HDD. The issue seems to occur more often when I'm recording the mix, presumably because I record to the same drive as the music. To troubleshoot this, I have purchased a Samsung 840 pro SSD with 1GB read/write speeds and will be installing it in place of the rotational, and making the rotational an external to record to. I will be installing it tonight and updating this thread. I'm assuming, as a professional pc technician, that the rotational read/write head is jumping to read the song and breaks from the recording, then jumps back causing a break in the music, both recording and live output. We shall see tonight.

    No, the mechanics of the hard drive have no effect on audio performance. Driver/process conflicts cause the CPU to change priorities away from audio which causes dropouts.

    I bet this works. Reading and writing to a disc is hard work - so having a separate drive to use for recording should eliminate these drop outs.

    Using an external USB drive and an internal drive simultaneously is going to put more load on the system than using just the internal drive.

    The bandwidth required by Traktor is so low and insignificant compared to the throughput of even a mechanical drive; recording a mix for example requires less than 200KB/sec.

    How is the master sound (that is mixed in the DJM800) going back to the Audio 8 channel D input? RCA->RCA cable?

    Generally find if traktor is glitching or skipping in sound it is your latency settings.
