Gig Log 10-4-08 Homecoming Dance & Software Crash

[AZlogey]

I've always used Traktor Pro on a Mackbook Pro laptop. Never crashed or malfunctioned a single time. I used to have Traktor LE on a HP laptop running vista, and it crashed almost every gig.

I've found you get what you pay for as far as software goes. (to a certain extent). it's a worthy investment if your services rely on it.

If your using Laptops, they are only designed to be used for a short period of time, as they get hot, and perform poorly, this is the problem i have...

It slows loading time of tracks, and the audio Latency goes up. (This, for example, is the time it takes for sound to be heard when the play button is pressed (assuming the cue point is significant))

I now use extra cooling (Y) it works fine now :P:P

I use Traktor DJ Studio.

Being german, its very reliable :P Never crashed once..

Way to get through despite software setbacks!

That's always a sword hanging our heads!

[MakeItKount]

Well Matt, sorry to hear about all of the problems that you were having, but crap always happens weather we like it or not. You did a good job working around it and still keeping things going.

Keep up the good work!

Good gig man. have fun with that the 4.1!!

[mystasynasta]

mixmeister fusion is the way to go. or virtual dj. thats my 2 cents on that by the way.

[specialoccasionsound]

Well I am in testing and VirtualDJ is winning right now. Mixmeister is yet to be tested tho.

[djalbert2684]
