    Hi, It should be
    C:\Users\#USER NAME# and for Mac the root of your user folder.

    Do you mean

    C:\Users\#USER NAME#\Documents\Native Instruments
    Or
    C:\Users\#USER NAME#\Documents\Native Instruments\Traktor 2.7.4 ?

    I have tried both and it seems to make no difference at all

    C:\Users\#USER NAME# should be it, sorry for the confusion.

    Same issue here, had to uncheck the multicore support because of important jitter. Too bad!

    Sound quality definitely improved in x64, well done NI. Most noticeable in complex audio where I could always hear a slight smearing of detail in x86 mode. The audio processing seems more in depth and cleaner so thanks. This was my biggest annoyance since Traktor DJ Studio 3 which sounded superb.

    In terms of core support, I have slight issues at 4 cores with an audible click every 20 to 30 seconds. Anything below 4 works fine and have settled on 3 cores which is perfect. My sound card latency (A&H 4D) is 8ms @ 41000hz which is fine for scratching and totally acceptable (no detectable latency).

    Points to note are I am processing at 41000hz to match the majority of source material I am playing, and that my CPU (i5 Haswell) does not have any power saving or 'Turbo' mode active, so it runs consistently at full speed. This is recommended when working with audio and gives full processing power at all times.

    I would like to suggest that a 'number of cores' selection control could be placed under the 'enable multicore support' checkbox so that the user can easily change the setting.

    After listening for 10 seconds i can confirm that the sound quality definitely has improved! A good way to start a 6 hour test run!
