How To Fix Scratch Live Song Skipping During Set
Feb 09, 2014 TRAKTOR PRO IS GLITCHING (SKIPPING) AND STOPS PLAYING DURING SET! Even though I'm using a very strong Mac mini with 16 gigs of memory Traktor is glitching (skipping) and sometimes it stops playing altogether. It typically starts the glitching when I play two decks to beat match using the SYNC feature. Nov 06, 2014 Play MP3s from your internal hard drive – One thing that bothers me to no end is just how fragile USB thumb drives really are, especially if they get handled quite a bit (ie transferring songs for DJing). I’ve had thumb drives with perfect transfers of my songs crap out in the middle of a set, leading to a song cut short or simply stopping. Dec 22, 2012 Problem with pioneer ddj sx. How to continue the music without push play during the brake time when i play the soft music. But I also get a sound dropout a half second or less once in each set. Before with Scratch Live i would get an occasional program freeze but the audio would continue to run in the background until the program would.
My laptop is quite old all this might be because of that but I'm not sure. I've had some running issues with my Macbook Pro as a whole particularly with the audio slightly skipping whilst playing in serato. It appeared to be down to an old Hardrive (which I've since now repaced). I also had an old battery which was on the way out and I have also had that replaced. I still seem to be having problems with the audio skipping slightly especially whilst mixing or having 2 tracks playing at once.
I have tried switching off other active programs (Spotify etc), as well as bluetooth, the airport, screen saver and setting energy saver sections to 'never'. But still the same problem. The only thing I haven't done is change the buffer size which at present is at the default '10'.
Have you guys got any ideas how to fix this? Do I need more RAM possibly? (Spec details below);
-OS X El Capitan 10.11.4
-MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
-Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
-Memory 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
-Serato Scratch Live 2.5.0
-Rane SL 1
Sep 02, 2014 We did a lot of work on your first day with Serato DJ, so give yourself a pat on the back. Even The Gaslamp Killer approves! Goodness, that was a lot covered for our first day with Serato! By now you have Serato DJ installed on your computer, and you have it playing nicely with your DJ controller. Sep 02, 2016 this block represents what is happening while the music is waiting to stop. Set Use this in place of a broadcast, When I recieve's cannot be used like this. V to 2 stop all sounds That makes it so that it stops, it's EXACTLY the time you want it to stop, but it might cut the song.

Have you got anything intensive running in the background? Or anything that could be eating up your system resources?
If the CPU maxes out, it could cause the sort of glitches you are talking about.
What kind of specs (and which OS) does your computer have??

Hi Dom,
A few more thoughts:
Do you have the latest drivers installed for your controller/soundcard? Did you install the drivers with the controller/soundcard plugged in? Do you always plug in into the same USB socket?
Your specs sound fine though. And I hope that you have disabled your internet connection if you have uninstalled your antivirus. Try installing CCleaner and cleaning out the user? I run it on all the users on all my PCs at least once a month and it keeps them nice and fast.
Is it your entire PC that is feeling a bit slow or is it just that Serato is playing up? I’m not a serato expert (I don’t use it myself and never have) but is the sample rate set correctly for your sound card? It may also be worth checking that Windows is not trying to use the soundcard as it’s default audio device – this should not be the case as your soundcard/controller should use ASIO drivers work with serato properly, and windows overrides ASIO drivers if it decides that the controller should be default, as it then likes to use its own drivers for this purpose. To put it simpler, it can cause all sorts of issues if your controller is set to be the default sound output. Not least that windows can then play sounds through your speakers. Ever got an email half way through a gig? Not cool if your laptop announces thta fact to all your dancers for you, at incredible volume. 🙂

Read the original post 🙂
He’s already done that… 😉
Are you running lots of stuff stacked (i.e. many tracks together with all the basses up) and/or many things like big bpm/key differences or FX?
I don’t understand your point about the SX2 being a stand-alone mixer so it shouldn’t happen though?
Check your output levels in the software, it might be possible to you are running too high a signal into the soundcard that is clipped already in which case it will be audible.
I had the same problem with Mixvibes Cross and my DDJ-SX. The output settings for monitor and master in the software were all set totally wrong. I noticed when trying to mix in an analogue CD with a track from Cross on two different channels. The odd thing is that I had BOTH tracks at the same gain on the controller, both firing away at 0dB average. So while it LOOKED like they should be the same loudness, they weren’t. I ended up 0dB-ing my setup with a CD playing (all the way up to and including the master output level) and then repeating the process for the Cross track, adjusting the master output setting until channel gain 0dB matched the main level 0dB. Now all is in perfect harmony and no distortion.
We install it on any browser with no trouble. It has different tools for playing the audio. After download, click the NEXT button one by one. After searched this software, click the DOWNLOAD button. Virtual dj video mixer download windows 7. After this process, the software is installed, and you can create your accounts on it.
This sounds like its either
The Dither module applies iZotope's MBIT+ dithering technology to improve the quality of your audio files when you are converting to 24, 20, 16, 12, or 8 bits. Dithering takes control of the quantization noise that happens when converting between bit depths. MBIT+ uses psychoacoustic methods to distribute dithering noise into less audible ranges. Dither The Dither module applies iZotope's MBIT+ dithering and noise shaping technology to maintain the highest audio quality possible when you are converting to 24, 20, 16, 12, or 8 bits. MBIT+ uses psychoacoustic methods to distribute dithering noise into less audible ranges. Izotope rx dither.
1) Redlining. Serato starts clipping immediately when you go to red on software. The controller (and the audio interface within) has another layer for gain controls, so while the leds on your controller might be ok, the initial signal is too high.
2) The settings on your laptop are not set correctly. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Additional settings (I’m guessing this one by translating from Finnish system). From there the Performance page and Optimize the performance to background services (audio is considered a background service).
If this isn’t a gain/volume problem then turn your WiFi/Bluetooth off, make sure you don’t have anything but your related dj equipment plugged in, make sure you don’t have any disabled drivers.
Another thing you may have a grounding problem. Something may need to be grounded or not grounded.

It is not clear from the OP… you say you decreased your latency, but did you try increasing it?
Deathy – he says “decreased” but also says he changed it from 5 to 20. so I took that to mean that he increased it 😉
I read it to mean he tried decreasing it by that range of value, which is why I asked my question just to clarify.
