multi core support. traktor duo 2

hu guys i dj using traktor duo 2 with the latest 2.1.1. update.someone recomended i turn off multi core support on my notebook with windows 7.how do i turn of multi core support.

2

It’s a checkbox in Traktor preferences.

edit: wait what they said turn off windows multi-core support? or multi-core support in Traktor…?

3

must be on traktor. For Windows thats BIOS doodle…

4

why would you want to turn it off?

5

Seems it’s unstable and can crash Traktor in long hauls.

6

Apparently it can cause cause drop out in long sets.I have not tried it yet on a long set.anyway I think I may have foud out why I was getting drop outs.I was playing without selecting the built in souncard option and slelecting asio drive.but stii not sure which is the best one to use,is it the asio or do I use the traktor one aswell or my notebook realteck on???
Could this have been the causea for my dropouts???

7

Sorry about the spelling mistakes.I will rephrase it.
Apperently multi core support can cause drop outs during long sets.

I had a four hour set last nite and I did not turn multi core off but made a few changes I apparently should have done anyway.
I had not selected a sound card driver in traktor preferences.the part under built in sound card u get a drop down menu and u meant to select one.
I used the asio one but I also had the option to use a traktor one or inbuilt realterk on.
Which of these do u guys recomend I use for solid long sets.???

Avoid Realtek - the Traktor ASIO driver is the real deal. If you’ve downloaded asio4all, that still uses the Realtek driver.

I wouldn’t know, I use a real computer. :stuck_out_tongue:

Multi core support will increase CPU load - but probably is not responsible for your drop-outs unless your CPU load is in the red. Check the other usual suspects (WiFi, latency settings, antiV, Windows ‘non-essentials’ etc).

11

That’s the CPU under strain, not Traktor crashing. Use it to speed up CPU-heavy tasks like analysing tracks etc., but can safely be disabled for ‘long sets’ (sic) to go easier on the CPU.

12

What the hell does that even mean?

13

Good to know, why the sic though? I didn’t write long sets. :slight_smile: But yeah, seemed strange to me but the question was why OP would want to do it and that was my guess. I’ve never had any drop outs yet, but haven’t done any full nights (5-6-7h) so I was a bit worried. I don’t really have the stamina to stand several hours at home and trying it out either… :\

14

Let me know when you find out Mr. P

15

A valid question koffa and I hope the OP gets the (sic) :wink:. My guess too, and like you I am not plagued by any glitches. My longest set has been 3hours, and as a precaution I disabled the function. Can’t say it made a significant difference, my ASUS doesn’t seem too run hot or show red on the CPU meter. I think the OP needs to look at other possibilities other than this. I saw Danny Tenaglia play a 4 hour set with 3 TT’s and vinyl with a Kaos pad. Never a dull moment - it was astounding.

Uh, why would multi core support tax your CPU or the system more? Seems counterintuitive to me. All multi core support should do is allow you to more efficiently spread tasks throughout your CPUs cores. It should give you the option, but not oblige you to necessarily use more power… So this tells me that multi-core support is seriously flawed.

17

I don’t understand this thread…

18

…Well…I don’t want to turn this into a Mac vs PC discussion, but what I mean is that with my Mac I havn’t had any issues with anything ever. I havn’t changed any kind of settings, my CPU never spikes for anything either. I have my multi core support switched on as I have a quad core and it works like a dream.

When I had my Hp, I was always having issues with Traktor, my CPU spiking all over, drop outs, pops, etc, and thats even with doing all the Windows optimizations… :sunglasses:

Thats all…K…bye… :slight_smile:

19

Did your HP cost £1500?

Why do people always compare £400 PCs with £1500 macs? It’s retarded.

Or the CPU meter in Traktor is flawed. To be honest Frank, I don’t know - just relating my experience(s). Maybe we need Smi777en’s input on this one.
