Traktor 2.6 Hogging CPU!
Hi All,
I just started 2.6 up for the first time and my load is 20% or so with empty decks and it fluctuates for no reason.
Is this only the first time it starts up? A bug?
OSX 10.7.5

Same problem here - I think it might have something to do with not being on mountain lion.
50% CPU utilization without any tracks being played at all - no key lock, nothing. I think NI overlooked testing 2.6 on previous OSX versions.
Yes, I am not on mountain lion and not upgrading on this computer.
Worried about my gig on Saturday night!
Use 2.5 if you have a gig. I went back to 2.5 until I can find a solution to my issue. Its in the “Backup” folder Applications → Native Instruments → Traktor → Backup.
I’ve started on 2.6 and whenever i load one of the new fx in. It jumps.
Won’t be using 2.6 out for a while! Not until the CPU load chills out a bit.
I don’t want to upgrade to Mountain Lion either, can’t be bothered arsing around with the USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 crap again.
No problems at all. Running Traktor 2.6.0 on a Macbook Air 13" (Late 2011 model). CPU Load for the kernel is at 4.5% and user mode is 7% when doing nothing at all. When playing two decks, running 3 samples in the remix deck and applying effect 1 and 2 the user mode has 14% CPU load.
Haven’t got it on my macbook yet but on Windows there’s no difference.
Must be a Mountain Lion problem?
i’m on an older mbp running lion, haven’t upgraded to mountain. traktor idles around 33% cpu, but i have noticed that simply putting the new macro fx into the fx slots is enough to make the cpu jump into the red.
it doesn’t matter if the fx is being used or not, just having it in a slot is enough to get cpu spiking crazy 
I thought it originally was a ML problem but a friend of mine had identical issues and he has ML.
Back to the drawing board on the cause… I might break down and just reinstall the entire machine to see if it helps.
wouldn’t that mean it IS a ML issue? ¯(°_o)/¯
dude i had huge spikes after the update myself and im on a windows (won’t get a mac yet)
Forgot to mention. I’m running Mountain Lion with latest updates on my Macbook Air 13". But I did a clean install after some other problems after the upgrade from Lion. Never had any problems since.
Sorry that might have come across wrong - I have snow leopard on my mac. Friend has ML. Originally I thought the problem was due to not having ML but that theory is kaboshed.
Same here. But it was stable. i took the risk and played two and a half hours last sat. with it and i allowed the dj after me to use my mac. CPU was jumpin’ all the time but traktor still was stable. thats the most important thing, isn’t it?
Absolutely but in my case when the CPU jumps too much the audio cuts out which is not very appealing.
oh okay thats s**ks of course. Maybe for the moment if you want to try the new effects you should put the latency up so the CPU doesn’t jumps that much.
yup have the same problem once I unloaded the new FX cpu was fine again…the new FX slam my CPU meter
I am on 10.7.5 - not mountain lion.
But here’s the bad part.
I just tried 2.5.1 as another user suggested - in the backup folder - and am still getting the CPU jumps in that program!

I had issues the other day just out of the blue. I rolled the audio drivers back for my A10 and that solved it.
Im not running mountain lion. Played 2.6 out last night for about 3 and half hours. Not a single pop glitch crackle and cpu was running normal.
