Fader and Audio Pops

When changing settings for the deck and mixer layouts. Anytime I load a track the
fader of the deck in the software goes into the up position even when the fader is
completely down. I've calibrated the faders but it does not correct the condition. Also I have issues with popping, all the USB are set to preform at maximum and I removed virus protection completely with and shut down running processes with no success. Any information would be helpfull. I didnt have a good experience taking this out on a test run.

 

Check you don't have sync on.

 

It would be helpful if you said what your tech specs are.

And make you've haven't got 'reset mixer on new song load' or whatever it is ticked in preferences (I haven't got Traktor in front of me at the minute).

Thanks for the repsonse in reference to the reset mixer. Thanks Lethal! My specs for the system are Core 2 @ 2ghz with 4 Gig of RAM. Any idea of system process I can shut off to help it run faster?

Someone in another post mentioned Gameboost, I've tried it. It seems to work. Let me play for over 2 hours. Processor looks like it is running at normal levels.
