before i go on, i just want to say that i have my laptop optimised to the tits
win 7 64
smitten’s optimiser
latency mon
acpi battery control method disabled
dpc latency checker
game booster
8 gb ram
cpu idle is at 0.5% peaks at about 20% on full load
no other programs other than traktor, vlc media player and core bits that are needed
etc… etc …
the problem im having has only been happening the last fer weeks once im set up, after about 4 or 5 minutes of playing, everything will freeze up and music will stop, probably for a second at maximum but still… the thing is it only does it once, i played a 10 hour set on friday and it never did it again, 7 hours on saturday and only once at the beginning… anyway you get the idea.
i have tried several different usb cables, different rca cables, mixers, cdj’s, even different timecode cd’s and it still does it.
im using an audio 4, with scratch pro 2.0.3, i simply havent upgraded yet because im still reading that there’s the odd bug, and i would like it to be 100% stable before i use it.
Might be a silly question based on the fact that you run SmiTTTens script and Game booster but, is WiFi still on? Also turn off indexing if it is still on.
@ jester, i should have said, absolutely everything like that is already disabled, ill check which driver im running, i do think it’s the most recent though, but thanks,
@ gary, ill do that now and see how it goes tomorrow.
if anyone else has any more ideas let me know and ill give them a try.
aero themes are off when i run the optimiser i believe, as for the drivers, ill download the older one and try that tomorrow along with disabling indexing. thanks guys, ill report back!
i have an external drive, but the sleep on it is disabled, even so i havent used it for quite a long time, but thanks anyway mate, im goint to try everything suggested so far in the thread tonight and ill let ya’ll know how i get on. once again, cheers guys, theres not many places you can get the sort of help that you can here.
@ garygary, if i disable search indexing from the link you posted, will i still be able to search from my start menu, as i’d say i use that feature almost as much as traktor’s internal search function.
My money is on the search. I say search, it’s the indexing that is the real culprit. Windows goes through the contents of you hard drive(s) looking for new/updated files and then adds the contents and metedata of those files to it’s index. This indexing process screws with lots of apps and is probably more troublesome than wifi. Traktor search should not be affected as it will be using it’s own code rather than relying on Windows Indexing.
When you turn Searching Off you can still search but it does not reference the Index file, it just executes the old school brute force search.
thanks for the input guys, i backdated the a4 driver and i had no problems whatsoever, but if it pops back up i will disable the indexing and try that too, but for now all is good
once again, cheers guys, theres not many places you can get the sort of help that you can here.
