What’s the Best Software to Use/Gig With VCI-100??
Alright, I’m about at my wit’s end with Traktor Pro. I don’t think I’ve felt so ripped off with this software that claims itself as a “professional” software. It crashes on me, the song files become corrupted - I can’t use this thing on a gig for fear it will simply crash and burn while I’m mixing jams down.
So what do y’all suggest? I’m thinking about Serato, or Virtual DJ, but how do those work with the VCI-100?
I use Dekadance with my VCI-100 with lots of success. However the resolution on the Midi and Pitch is not high enough for fine tuning. The Auto sync does work really well with house, techno and breaks
I cant see it being Traktors fault, since many (including myself) use it without any problems. I have never had a single problem with crashes, corrupted files etc. There must be something wrong with your setup.
Yes Traktor Pro is still fairly unstable and at this point should be use as a transition software. I still use traktor 3 because of its stability. I also perform on small gigs with Traktor pro, just to play risky.
also never had traktor crashed on me, must be your pc config thats conflicting with the software.
i am not sure what type of computer you are using so it could be good if you tell us a bit more of your computer set up so we can have a broader understanding of what is causing you this problem.
Compaq Presario C700
Intel Pentium 2 Core Duo 1.6Gh
2Gb RAM
Digital 8 DJ Sound card
Vestax VCI-100 controller
Windows 7 beta
I’ve got all the settings set to minimal CPU load (i.e. no areo, only primary system accessing CPU, etc.)
I just get hiccups here and there. I go to transition to a new song and the play button on the starting deck craps out and I need to jog the turn table to make it play. The screen will sometimes freeze, or the other day it completely crashed making a horrible buzz sound.
I’m deathly afraid to take this thing on the road for gigs if I’m already having these many problems just in practice.
Get rid of 7 its a beta version reverse back to xp. it should be more stable, i dont think your system is good enough to handle 7 u should revert to xp pro for more stability and cpu and memory usage.
if u want to keep it then u have to resize your HD and install clean xp pro version on another partition. Do this and let us know how it performs.
for optimisation on xp check out those two links
i also have traktor pro 1.0.1 running on a new aluminium macbook (not macbook pro), and weird things happen like as somelone said before, the files ‘becoming corrupted’ and unplayable, and sometimes when two song are running at the exact same BPMs one magically speeds up and becomes out of sync. Extremely frustrating! was seriously tempted to get some cdj’s and spend the rest of my life burning cd’s lol.
