So the exclimation image above the SNAP button on my Kontrol S4 is flashing at me.
I know what it means so here are the answers to it
The Flashing Warning sign means A) the laptop power adapter is unplugged
Ok its not this because i can clearly see its not unplugged. Infact while typing this i pulled it out and plugged it in again.
i even took the powered HUB adapter and pulled the plug out , then in its power supply as well
B) the headphone or master volume in the software is too low
I have SHOW CROSSFADER enabled in the software so i can see the volume settings.
They are all where they should be. None of them are set low. Each about midway.
C)the CPU load is too high
well i have Traktor Pro2 open and this is windows + i already restarted to created this thread.
This is a difficult one because, anything could cause it to run too high. but if while just sitting here?
I was only posting on DJTT
So just before i clicked POST MESSAEG, i messed around with the S4 and its all working fine
Saves samples
triggers loops
browses
Sound is coming out
i can adjust between mix and cue in headphones
not sure whats up. Seems like nothing is wrong but the button still flashes
ill do that next but i just restarted again and am looking at the TOP center location in Traktor Pro2
Where it says LOAD. and its red lining… strange. its all of a sudden
Im checking my TaskManager but nothing there is out of the regular processes
Kontrol F1
MF3D
Traktor S4
all pulled out and turned off.
Checked service center for any updates… check.
Then i uninstalled and reinstalled the S4 driver.
Plugged ONLY the S4 directly into the laptop with nothing else attached
and only AFTER i turned off
Both firewalls, malware protection and even turned off my Internet connection
I powered on the S4
then i opened traktor Pro2
I see the S4 do its dancing lights, and the flashing ! appears again steadily
no idea what to do at this point and i have a live show to do tomorrow with 4 different reps from record labels tuning in this weekend
One of the ways to correct this is to raise the latency
but i am looking at that part of the control panel and i can not move the latency meter level at all
its stuck on 48, and no matter whati do to slide it, it doesnt move
i had to change the USB buffer size and latency under the SETTINGS button
THis got everything working again just fine and the flashing button to stop
A) Still not sure why it all of a sudden started doing that
B) Now my USB mouse wont work lol
sweet jesus! This whole thing just went sideways… WTH!
so i had to delete the traktor TSI file to make sure that wasnt corrupt
in doing so i had to restart traktor and the laptop…
now traktor wants to go through its SEtup wizard again
no problem there. So lets do that
i tell it how im working and it shows me whats connected… all looks good so i click FINISH
but it just hands there and does nothing else… its just a image waiting to finish… and never does.
And worst of all.. i have to shut down the entire laptop manually to shut down traktor.
I cant close it at all otherwise
either the TSI is corrupt or a recent song/track/file you imported is corrupt. not sure why its maxing out. are you on 2.6?
try uninstall and reisntall 2.6 and see if load goes down? i know some have complained about load issues with 2.6, hence why ive stayed with 2.5 which works flawlessly or me.
i see your point Moehawk
i think im going to go back down to 2.5 and run things that way too
however ill have to make sure the MF3D mapping i use is 2.5 compatible.
