Preview player - delay at start problem, Traktor Pro 4.1

andy_andy

Hello!

I have the following problem: when I use the preview player, sometimes, at random tracks, there is a delay of 2 to 5 seconds before the track starts. This happens when I want to prelisten a track from playlists and also direct from folders, but especially from folders. This happens form TP4. TP 3 didn't have this issue, the tracks started instantly no matter the conditions: tracks form playlist or folder, type (mp3, m4a or flac), how long the track are. For me it is an important aspect because sometimes I have to quickly choose the next song during a set and those 5 seconds seems like an eternity in this situations and become annoying. Does anyone else have same problem? Is there any solution? Thank you!

My system configuration is the one below

This is not the new delay of loading a track into a deck, it's about the small preview player?

I have not notice a delay.

Yes, the small preview player, not the deck. It happens at random. And if happens to one track for exeample, If I return to same track after a few seconds it starts normal, no delay. It's like TP4 stuck checking that track before start to play. (it apears at the bottom the message "loading…"). I tought that this happens to long tracks, but no, this can happen also to a 3 minutes tracks, for example.

Interesting.

The files are already in your collection and fully analyzed?

They are on your local disk and not USB or network?

Yes and yes. All my collection is fully analyzed and all on my local disk (SSD). On TP3 didn't happenend such a thing, not even once. That is why I'm thinking that this problem has something to do with TP4 beahvior.

This delay, especially in situations where time matters, is very old to me. Often I have to click twice. It did also not even change much with SSD only Notebooks. Wondering that this was not mentioned more often here.

I discovered something interesting since I wrote about this problem, hoping someone on the Traktor staff reads it and can be helpful. This delay I was talking about happens with mp3 files. I play .flac and .mp3 files. With flac files there is no problem, but when I wand to preview mp3 files this delay appears.
