MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

The reason I'm asking is because I've noticed a few little problems. I've re-organised my music libray, and as I was doing it, I was playing a few tracks, and the program seemed to encounter big problems...

Originally, I ran Cross DJ 1.7 on a low-spec laptop, and it ran fine, no matter what I did. Now I've got a high-end laptop I seem to be getting a few problems... strange considering that my new laptop is much more powerful than my old one...

Every little action seems to lock the display at the top, and disables the scrolling of the tracklist... even though the music keeps playing just fine...

with a fast quad core laptop, with 6gb ram, I didn't expect this sort of problem!

Hey,

Is your new notebook not an iCore? Have you also an extra graphics card? This freezing of the GUI could be a problem that the CPU is doing audio before graphics and that's why it is freezing. But it is only a thought of my.

Could you check the CPU usage when the GUI freez?
And check if you can switch for that program the graphics card if a second is there. (right click at the startup routine of Cross DJ and select run with card x)

Regards
Christian

Sometimes a more powerful laptop/PC is not necessarily the best, Kev

Quite a few people fall into that mistake mate.

My friend got an i7 CPU Dell machine a week ago, and he wanted me to test Cross on it, so he considers getting his own ( showing stuff brings the apetite )

But the GUI was glitching, I can't even load a track 'cause of the gui glitch. And he has a 64 bit Win7 Professional.

It seem to get random MIDI signals. I managed to disengage MIDI control and kexboard control but it remained still...

And I was also thinking about WTF is wrong, since I wanna get a stronger hardware soon.

(it could be caused by the Sandy Bridge Chipset, but I heared it only makes audio glitches, not GUI, but seem to be a bad choice).

Run the DPC Latency checker when you are using CrossDJ.

Look for any red spikes, especially when loading tracks onto the players.

Also have you got rid of all te crap that comes pre-installed on new machine.

HP software ia crap, get rid of everything you don't need.
But do an backup image before that in case you need to roll back or send it in.

The smartest thing to do would be a clean win install and then load the necessary drivers from the HP support homepage.

Moreover with 6gb ram HP used different brands for the 4 and 2 gb so-dimms, you might wanna replace them...
