anyone using intel nuc to run traktor pro 2?

I’m planning to purchase Intel NUC but the lowest spec available in my country,

Processor : Intel Broadwell Celeron N3050 2.16 Ghz
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics
RAM : 4 GB
HDD : 500 GB

Can it run Traktor Pro 2? I’m a little bit confused since the minimun req from NI website is Core i3, but my core2duo desktop can run Traktor Pro 2.

Not gonna use 4 effects and loops and sampling 8 tracks altogether, only mix 2 tracks and minimum effects and probly loops. Is it gonna be able to run Traktor Pro 2? Anyone using this kind of setup?

I have TSP2 running on a MBP mid 2010 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Works perfectly.

I’m not using any apple products. My life and my wallet works perfectly either.

i just wanted to let you know that i should run fine and for comparisson i posted my specs. no mac/pc debate intended…

you’re welcome

I’m guessing you should be ok but drop an email to NI just in case they have heard of any NUC specific issues that might make it a headache more than anything. Make sure the hardware you’ll be using to mix with works dandy with it as well.

I’ve used a NUC i3 at work for testing Traktor 2 with a customer’s S4mk2, no issues there but I’m not sure that the Celeron would be all that great. I’d wait and save for at least the i3.

yeah sorry man, for a second there i thought that you advised me to go mac just like everyone else haha, i guess i didnt read your post well enough…

in case someone still interested in this..

i went with intel nuc core i3, been using this for several months now with no issue at all..

I have a NUC, bit it’s also a Skull Canyon, so there will never be any issues. :-p

That aside, I installed traktor on my mums old laptop (N3050 with 8gb of ram) and I had to turn the latency up to an overall 17ms just to mix tracks with stable results using DVS.

when I 1st got Traktor, I tried hooking it up to my old tower
3.4GHz Intel Core2 Quad w/ 16GB of RAM
it was a no go

Traktor requirement specs state you need a chip w/ hyper-threading (i.e. relatively current i series chip have this)

I personally do not think you will have much luck w/ a Celeron
maybe mixing only 2 decks w/ little or no efx
but if you want to use 4 & efx, your probably going to need a faster proc
