I just want to thank you guys for this information, I've been Mac for years and only got my feet wet for a PC on your recommendation and the other video on you guys trying a PC laptop. I just couldn't justify paying over 4 grand for a new MacBook pro for the same spec windows laptop ie. 16gb ram 512gb ssd I7 processor..... bear in mind it was used and then refurbished by a IT tech.... Toshiba satellite... 3 years old, after taking these tips and using them, using this laptop has been awesome, 250gb of music onboard and for the last 3 months has been faultless on rekordbox 5.8 and serato dj pro.... working 4 nights a week. Dvs has also been faultless on either platform.... What did I pay? 600 Australian. I could buy 6 or 7 Windows laptops consecutively if each one shat itself every 6 months.... And still come out on top... Do I still use my 2011 MBP 16gb ram 256ssd? Yes, only to convert my serato music on rekordbuddy as this app is only available on IOS..... would I buy another brand new Mac? No probably not, are they good computers? Yes 100%.... but if I brought a laptop worth over 4.5g my wife would kill me 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just did a gig and Serato froze up twice. Because the crowd was so awesome and forgiving they kept the vibe going while I switched to Mixxx and a 3/8" jack, and did not use my controller. Successfully finished out the show. These tips help immensely, especially the Serato processor tip. Thank you!

I normally use a Game Booster App, the filosofy it's almost Tha same, It will do all those adjustments to the specific app (in this case Recordbox). But it's good to do it also manually and be able to check one by one. The close lid option its an amazing idea. Also, I use Ccleaner to keep my PC's log clean, delete all junk, and also choose which software it will run or not automatically during the startup. I turn off all notifications also to avoid any undesirable visual interference during I'm mixing.

Excellent tips, I've been using most of these settings on a 9 year old laptop with a 2.5 GHz dual core processor and it still manages to run Traktor 3 flawlessly. Albeit loading the software takes some time. The more tech savvy user should get a clean windows installation from Microsoft and get only the necessary drivers from their laptop manufacturer website. In that way you can obtain the cleanest possible install.

if you get frequent cpu spikes in traktor pro, disable the wireless network card in device manager. The load meter isn't how much load traktor is putting on the cpu but how much bandwidth is available for the software, and wireless adaptor cards really interfere, just turning of wifi doesn't make any difference.obviously don't have any downloads running, and if you are on windows 10 open services and stop windows update stone cold dead and set to disabled as it will turn your performance into a complete Trainwreck without warning.

This is a great video - thank you! I've recently moved from an old i7 laptop to a new Ryzen 7 4700U (both Windows 10), I'm also using the Pioneer XZ. I've noticed a few audio glitches during mixes and they also appear on the recording. I never had this problem with my old i7 laptop and it's been really annoying me as I thought moving over to a Ryzen 7 would be seamless and that DJ software wouldn't really challenge the processer. I also use FL Studio and have noticed delays with previewing audio samples too. I'm hoping that step one in this video will have an impact on these things, sounds like it definitely should, makes sense to me! Thanks again!
@Crossfader3 жыл бұрын
AMD processors aren't officially supported by any major DJ software at the moment sadly! I've heard of many people being just fine though, maybe try increasing your buffer sizes and check your audio stability with LatencyMOD. Hope this helps and you get sorted out soon!

Hey try this: open a FL Studio proyect that you know it’s not running good. Then go to power management and change High Performance to BALANCED. If this works means that you are experimenting a Windows bug that doesn’t allow ryzen cores to be optimally managed. Try updating your BIOS firmware and windows updates.
