Any way to prevent Traktor from lagging?

Most developers I work with on other software generally test back five years
I am pretty sure it comes to the collection file that everyone says is too large. Comment in this post says to share that file as traktor feels it's unusually large.
I did and was told my hardware is the issue. That is my frustration.

Well - could be your hardware AND your collection file.
Judging by the fact that this issue is not exactly common - I am sure you can see the unique nature of your situation.

I am not sure how unique it is (I have seen other posts about it on this and other forums) but I can assure you traktor is not having issues with the hardware. My resources are barely used. I have graphic design software that iltakes more roll on my hardware (no, it's not on this laptop, but a second one)

Just to be clear on the specs of the computers I have tested and reproduced the issue on:
DELL G15 5511 GAMING LAPTOP- PROCESSOR: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11260h - 2.60GHz
- RAM: 16GB DDR4-3200
- DISC 0 (C:): 256GB SSD (NVMe) - OS and Traktor Pro 4
- DISC 1 (D:): 1TB SSD (NVMe) - Music
- GPU 0: Intel Iris Xe Graphics, shared memory of 400MB
- GPU 1: Dedicated 4.0GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
LENOVO IDEACENTRE GAMING 5 17IAB7
- PROCESSOR: 12th Gen Intel Cor i7-12700
- RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200
- DISC 0: 1TB SSD (SATA) - Music
- DISC 1: 1TB SSD (NVMe) - OS and Software
- GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
- GPU 1: Intel UHD Graphics 770
Both these machines EXCEED the minimum requirements for Traktor Pro 4, so if they are the problem, then I am amazed that other DJ programs that run VIDEO can run better with less specs.
I am confident that something is up with my library/COLLECTION file. Not sure if maybe there is leftover data from Traktor LE, Pro 2 and Pro 3 that is affecting things, or something else. But BOTH computers will create a collection file over 80MB without fully analyzing the music (just importing it). TO CONFIRM the import tests were done AFTER all Tractor information, including any backups and such, was removed to eliminate the chance that the COLLECTION was restored from a backup, previous install, random registry entry or any other place that Traktor stores information.
If 80MB is a large file for 60,000 songs, then the information MUST be in the music folder somewhere as this is the only common denominator. Leftover tags, hidden traktor file somewhere I am not sure, but that is the only thing that the two computers have in common. The music folder on the desktop is an EXACT copy of the one on the laptop.0 -
For giggles I installed Traktor Pro 4 on my old Dell laptop (8th gen i7, 16GB Ram). This laptop had Traktor Pro 3 on it at one time, but has long been wiped since (completely new SDD) —- MAN I MISS THIS 17" SCREEN —-
Anyways, it loaded a 80MB+ collection file. It has to be coming from the collection. Again, that is the only common denominator.
Is there a way to reset all the traktor tags without losing the primary data? I know there are some tag managers out there, but not sure if they can mass remove any tags traktor may store on the file. This is the only thing I can think of… it is reading info off the music during the initial scan….0 -
What I do find interesting, however, is that the loading of decks seems to have less of a freeze but the searching is horrible (I will admit this old laptop is NOT the best lol). Forgot to mention that this one is running Windows 10 as it is not capable of windows 11

Windows 10 will always run circles around Windows 11. That is by design.
Hence the reason many of us (myself included) are staying put on Windows 10.

With the latest windows 10 updates, it is not far off windows 11 now. It's not windows 11, but it isn't that far from it.

I won’t get into it here but the differences remain vast. As is the overhead.
Nuff said.

You are correct, this is not the place for the Windows 11 discussion. But I will say I heard the same thing when Windows 10 was released over Windows 7. And Windows 7 over XP.
Overhead is always going to increase with new OS (MAC has a huge one too) but they also utilize the memory much better than previous OS.
But as you put it, nuff said.0 -
The thread director in Windows 11 is the real problem. Without that - it might actually be useable in a DAW context.
But there are always ways around that too.

You are right there, and that will be improved eventually, as windows 10 was improved (the original was NOT very good if I recall, and windows 7? I remember people completely freaking out)
I would love to continue this Windows discussion, but probably best to do that somewhere else lol (before people get mad at us)0 -
Yes. Back on topic we go :)

Can you share you collection again? I think the last time the forum software blocked it. Google drive / drop box or similar can help.

Hmm… OK. Here is a onedrive link to a copy of the collection file
