For the longest time, I used Traktor 2.6.8 (mostly) and Traktor 3 (sometimes) on my Windows 8 laptop (Asus with Pentium 7 processor) and a Pioneer DDJ-SZ controller without any problems. I also sometimes us a Pioneer T1 and an Akai AMX as controller.
Then I decided to upgrade to Traktor 4 and Windows 10 (as Traktor 4 recommends and thus needs that?). Since then Traktor has become unstable. Pops and glitches at least once in every track (I use Flac only) and sometimes the music keeps on playing, but the controller doesn't work any longer. This makes my Traktor laptop totally unuseable for gigs.
I also got a Kontrol S8 and that controller gives me the same problems, so I'm guessing it's not controller related. With the S8, when clicking setup, I can change the latency. However, on the Pioneer the latency is set on 256 but when I try to change it, the program crashes. Either way, the clicking and crashing wasn't an issue when I used Windows 8 and setting the latency higher doesn't seem to solve the problems.
I use the laptop only for dj'ing and I disabled as much stuff as I could (wi fi, bluetooth, updates and I even used debloater scripts to get rid of unwanted stuff). So here are my questions:
- Will Traktor 4 work with Windows 8?
- Did anyone have the same problems with windows 10 and if yes, what did you do to fix it?
- Any suggestions (besides getting an Apple?)
Thanks for your replies !
