EXTREME lag on tp2?
Im wondering why is traktor lagging so much when i’m running a good pc?
Specs: 2Ghz Intel Core Duo memory: 2GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
it doesn’t lag until i start triggering effects like reverb and stuff like that, what is the problem?? The computer runs perfectly with multiple shit open and traktor works perfectly until i start using effects, like i said above.
My controller: kontrol s2 (If this is info is of any use)
Not sure what you mean by lag exactly but try adjusting the latency settings under Audio Setup in Preferences: ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs
u tried the windows optimizer batch script? i found it useful when i had to run windows http://www.djtechtools.com/2011/08/14/optimizing-windows-for-djing-part-i-power-script/
you don’t have any other apps open while running traktor? wifi and bluetooth disabled? windows can be a pain to get running as reliably as a mac for near-realtime stuff like traktor - but it can be done.
using effects will eat up more cpu than when you’re not ofc - so just sounds like something isn’t giving traktor enough cpu time.
A 2ghz core 2 duo is not a good pc by recent standards just my opion and 2gb isn’t much at all.
I’d maybe look into updating CPU if possible and don’t wanna spend money on a new laptop
it’s not exactly recent but surely should still be able to handle traktor… my old acer has a T4400 in which i guess is about twice the speed of the core duo (if a T2450, only googled some benchmark info so i may be way off) and that used to run ok usually with plenty of free cpu cycles and ran ok ish the few times i tried to sync ableton with it.

+1 upgrade to 4gigs of ram, run the optimize script and preferably Windows XP (certainly not vista, perhaps 7 if its optimized)
2ghz c2d should be fine otherwise - but really depends on what else you are running on there.
Sorry guys i said ‘‘PC’’ it’s not actually windows, it’s mac. i just refer to any computer as ‘‘PC’’
i’m new to mac, what should i delete / uninstall ?
If Mac upgrade ram but maybe an issue since I always understood Mac sys requirements to be lower.
An no 2.2c2d won’t cut it will still have some problems. I had a p7811fx with 8gb ddr3 and a dedicate GeForce gaming card and it would act weird if I was browsing librbrary with my total control. I upgraded CPU from. P8400 to a t9900 now she screams greAt no matter how many decks or fx or browsing library.
i don’t have money to upgrade this computer, i need another alternative, it’s wierd since my desktop (which is windows) and his lower specs compared to this one (about 1gb ram) runs traktor without problems.
Are you running multiple apps while you run Traktor?
upgrade to raspberry pi
Come on man. Plenty of people around here with p8400/p8700 Penryn’s running Traktor with no issues.
Whats your latency? Them specs should run Traktor just fine. No need to update your RAM just to run Traktor better.
I have latency set at 256, and without playing music or anything at all the Load bar is already topping red. what the fuck?
whats the latency in “ms” below where it says 256? Also check you haven’t got “enable multicore processor support” checked. Its on the same settings screen.
256 is pretty low man. Run Traktor ONLY and experiment at each latency setting.
While my other computer which specs are:
Pentium Dual core 2.60Ghz 1.50gb ram is running traktor with 4 decks playing all effect units on all decks with atleast 7 effects on and gets the load bar to red, but doesn’t actually engage monster lag mode.
The only thing i have open right now is traktor and this browser, multicore processor support off, the higher i take the latency the less lag i get, but if take it all the way to the max, it doesn’t really reduce that much load.
It’s load of the audio engine not of the processor itself, so while yes it is important to an extent, as long as you are getting glitch free audio at a particular latency setting then it’s not something to kill yourself over trying to get down to running without a blip.
