somebody*

 

Yes lots of people, why..?

 

it didn't work for me :'(

 

Please fill out your system specs in your Profile.

 

still problems

i calibrated everything swapped usb again & disabled wifi etc!

15 mins into my set the light comes on as if i was scratching and stoped my mix
this happened while i turned the fx dry wet to dry!
ticket no: 2011022010001731

I hope native instruments plan on refunding the 900 i paid for this bug ridden machine!

i think the problem is with the hardware.

the calibration of pitch faders sorted the erratic jumping about the place.

but while using the volume fader for deck a & again the fx bank 1 dry/wet the song freezes like i'm scratching.

my conclusion is if you put 2 much pressure (which is actually very little really) the deck thinks your scratching!

no drivers can fix that i'd say! help..

 

Beta Driver

I am currently waiting for support to send me that beta driver... I really hope this works.

 

So I received my S4 last week. Set it up and was really upset at the amount of cracking and stuttering I was getting. I host a 3 hour house music show on live radio and there was no way I was going to chance running this thing with the obvious audio issues. So I jump on this board and do the 2 simplest suggestions (thanks to everyone for their positive posts and suggestions you have no idea how much they helped).

First: I modified my power output. I changed it to high performance (PC running at high performance, battery lower). For obvious reasons I did this first.

Second: I disabled the wireless on my lap top.

I'm happy to report no issues since. Ive run this thing every day for 3 hours non-stop (to simulate my show) and I'm goad to report not one single pop, crack or stutter since.

I'm running an Acer Aspire 6930 (Core 2 duo) 2.0GHz with 3 gigs of ram.

I will have my fingers crossed the first time I take it with me to do my show.

 

congrats

Good for you. I have an Acer too and from the specs mines higher (I3 processor and 4g ram) but i still have the problem. I did everything on this forum and then some.

 

Mazta,

Have you installed the hot fix? the hot fix for windows is listed in the NI tips. I think the problem is that everyone thinks they can run the latencey at very low values, you need to find one that works for you, usualy they state to start at a higer number and work down. The beta works a little better so you can fine tune your system to it.

 

Any news about this issue after installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1?
Did SP1 help?

Christian

 

I'm downloading service pack 1 right now. Will inform you if it resolved my issues with my S4. I doubt it though.

 

Okay, I keep my fingers crossed!
I installed SP1 yesterday but I did not check with my S4 if it helps...

 

for me personally sp1 did not help

 

Same here...

 

hey everybody
it worked for me now
i just turn gamebooster on an disable my network on my computer

 

Sp1 did not solve it.

 

so sp1 gamebooster and everything ?

 

i dont know if i have sp1... but i turn the most interdrivers and devices and it worked!

 

My s4 is running sweet now basically ecerything is fully updated and the beta driver installed i used low values in the control panel 1 ms and 16 samples. Not had a problem since

Forget tweak guide its there software which has the issues

Please not i never installed hot fix from microsoft as the problem is in traktor

 

This is not good advice. If you do not have issues and have not needed the benefit of advice in the Tuning Tips or used the Hot Fix please do not tell others that they should not look at them, its terrible advice.

They have helped many people.
