MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice as no matter what I do my setup slows down about 5 mins into playing. I'm using a Sony Vaio laptop, I3 processors 4gb ram which I would assume is more than enough power. I have connected a Reloop digital Jockey 2 interface edition. What happens is when I'm in the mix I get major slow down, IE when I move the faders or any button it takes about 20 seconds to complete at a snail speed.

I have formatted and re-loaded all my music. I have tried with and without the power adaptor for the controller but I'm really scratching my head. Any advice would be much appreciated as I would love to be able to use this software.

Oh I should probably mention that if I use my mouse to manipulate the Cross fader during slow down it does move freely which tells me this isn't a machine slow down thing.

I get no issue with virtual DJ with the same setup and have been using virtual and traktor for a number of years on this machine.

Sorry to hear, can you give the exact specs of your PC and maybe what a list of what´s in your auto-start.

Also, are your driver uptodate? http://www.reloop.com/reloop-digital-jockey-2-ie

I forgot to reply to this but im still having problems despite formatting

please see pic of system specs attached

thanks

does the green MIDI indicator light up in Cross right away when u move anything on the controller?

I have a Reloop DJ2 IE too, but i can not reproduce this or something like this.

it also happened to me when i first installed win8, but i soon found out that it was win8's background task (i had set it to use compression on my data drive/partition) that was slowing things down. you might want to check the resource monitor to find out which tasks are taking cpu time.

Update - Okay well its still happening under windows 7 and windows 8 on this laptop. It must be controller related or usb related though as it doesnt happen when i mix off keyboard and mouse.

any suggestions guys? Im really keen to get this sorted so i can use the software

TIA

Have you tried using a powered USB hub?

I haven't yet but will try.

I find it strange as Serato, Virtual DJ and Traktor all work fine with my current setup so it's confusing me why it's doing this.

I will update USB drivers and try a hub and report back.

Very strange.
