Traktor 3 on a 8.9" Aspire One

When I intially purchased the computer I bought it as a back-up for my Sony Viao which was getting old. Sure enough after many years of perfect service my Sony (RIP) died. I was forced to use this one. At first I used it a few weeks stock. But I was only using about 4,000 songs stripped in the collection. IT ran perfect. Until I imported and stripped 25,000+ songs which is minimum for a dj that considers himself a request DJ. I upgraded the ram, tuned it to musicxp.net spec for the best audio configuration and disabled the wirless, and the svchost process that used the most memory. (Disabling any others will crash your computer). These are the same steps I did on my Sony so it's not anything overboard but when you play major show for money you want it PERFECT. So far it's been a few months and 30 perfect shows later I'm still a satisfied Netbook customer. I still use it for internet when I'm not Djing. It's the perfect size for travel and a second computer. If you are having trouble using audio programs leave me a comment I'll try to help. I've been pround that computer created for basically surfing the net and writing emails is able to be push to such an ultimate productivity.

Im using the Numark Omnicontrol with Traktor Pro. I used to run it on my PC but it really sucks to bring the tower and all the equipment to a party or even a club :D

my girlfriend has an aspire one zg5, which im trying to use now. Unfortunately the sound is kind of dirty. You probably set Audio 8 in the Audio Preferences as maindevice but i only can use the soundcard of my controller or the onboard which sucks even more. Do you have any advice?Would be happy about that.

Greetings from Germany

@Dagadee Set the latency higher, or buy a cheap USB sound card.

sounds really good, what audio driver are you using?

[sokalballa]

@kibadanghi The lastest Audio 8 driver right off NI's website.

@xylki I use a SCS.3 setup and an Akai LPD8. Plus iPhone 4 for mixing remotely. I'm very excited about the S4 and I used the NS7 which was impressive since I'm usually anti-serato but the itch platform is clean and easy to use. I'm going to have a hard time choosing between them. The NS7 is already on it's way to being used with Traktor. I almost bought an X1 but it was kinda big for the gear, I might get one for the house tho, it'd be good with the SCS3

@xylki Indeed. U use controllers? I got an X1 mid of this year and it's really plug-n-play with my Mac. I heard using X1 on Windows, u gotta install it and still do some tweaking. Traktor S4 is comin out here in Japan in November and I'm really curious about it.

@xylki A mini Mac would be a good back up! I love macs man for djing. It's just so hassle free.

@sokalballa It's always good to have a back-up when giggin. I'm thinkin of gettin a Mac Mini as a back-up. (-:

[sokalballa]
