Static & Lag using Traktor Pro 2 on both my Macbookpro and PC. CDJ900's +CDJ900 Nexus

So, yes of course there have been a few hundread posts with regard to lag and or static. As stated in the title of what I use for my set up. I actually went out and spent 2k on a Mac becuase I thought my PC was the problem for the lag. Not a chance. My DJ instructor uses Serato with an Audio interface kind of like the Traktor Audio 6. No lag, no Static.

Maybe someone from NI can help me figure this out to keep a long lasting customer. If not I am sorry but I will just spend the $500 to switch to Serato. I've already spent much more than that trying to fix this problem with Traktor 2 Pro.

Thanks for you help. Anyone and everyone.

two words: tuning tips.
check the NI website / knowledge base.

 

Do you have the latest firmware for the djm and the cdj´s?

 

there are known issues with the DJM900 drivers and/or firmware which result in crackles and distortion in the timecode signal. this is a problem on pioneer's side and i believe they are looking into it. are you using a separate audio interface or plugging directly into the DJM900 USB port?

 

Personally your biggest mistake was thinking that buying a macbook would solve your problems as the issue you describe is clearly associated with the driver/audio interface combo.. and given you are either using the onboard sound card of the PC or MBP or that of the CDJ900 then i simply dont know why you are blaming Traktor!..

For sure the S4 controller has had its number of sound card driver issues with some people... but none of those threads/comment apply in your case...

good luck!

 

Thank you

Thanks for the comments everyone. I fixed the problem enough to run with no static or lag. I am buying the audio interface shortly and that will make the adjustment even easier. It was a bad week with electronics I have to say. Thus the reasoning for the blame game.

Appreciate all the advice.

Happy spinning.

 

What was your fix action? Post it for future people.

 

When you run traktor, Turn the lag from 1.5ms to something greater. I scrolled the tab to about a third of the way. The only issue with doing this is that your computer lags a little bit, the screen does at least.
