[QUOTE="theguynamedbrad, post: 654354, member: 55844"] Hmm, I have both a comment and a question... First off, I've been dj'ing for a number of years, first private house parties and I've started for the past two years to do gigs in Houston from Riches to Redstar. I run dual Pioneer decks with Denon mixer in the middle and sometimes throw in the laptop to rip cds on the fly if I think of some mix I want to run and don't happen to have for an odd reason or another. Personally I've yet to encounter more than ONE dj spinning records anymore, and most I've met now a days are running all digital setups... laptop and a mixer is a beautiful setup to carry around. Riches is one of the biggest clubs in Texas, and almost all the DJ's there that I've worked with and met all use digital, so I'm not sure why this stigma against all digital setups is around cause frankly, they run circles around my CD's in some cases. Now, My Question: All you people who DO run digital rigs tho, is I recently purchased the Trackor 3 program and DJ setup, but I can't seem to get it to sound smooth live when I run the rig no matter what I turn off. Is there a way to fix it or should I just get a new sound card that can handle it's crap? (YES I did deactivate even the dashboard and all programs and did all the stuff it says to do). Odd thing is the recording itself always sounds perfect, just the live sound while mixing is skippy and jumpy. I am using a mixer a friend threw my way, figure it doesn't matter because it does it both with and without the mixer plugged up. ANY help would be nice... would like to start spinning all digital but am hating the sound outta this. (15" MBP runnin 10.4.11 OSX on 2GB of Ram... I'd think that'd be more than adequate but apparently is not. Stock soundcard) [/QUOTE]
