Traktor Pro keeps crashing

Before buying Traktor Pro I wisely downloaded the demo version. While running the demo version Traktor Pro it keeps crashing. These crashes occur by example when I load a track or when I want to set the Audio Device in the preferences-window. Sometimes I can set the audio device and close the preferences-window whitout problems. But then the track plays at an incredible high speed.

Are these problems caused by my system, or is it the program that sucks? And how I solve these problems?

I hope there's someone who can help me!

 

Hmm, what kind of audio device do you use? Under which OS?

 

I have a pc running Windows Vista Business (32 bit). My soundcard is a Realtek High Definition Audio (2 in and 2 out).

 

I used to have the same problems, using WinXP SP2 with Audio Kontrol 1 as SOundcard, it used to randomly crash nd freeze, sound would stop, the only solution is close it down with the Taskmanager! But this was 2 days ago and it seemed to have vanished - strange.

 

did you ever figure out what was causing this, I have the same problem seems now I have found about 5 people with it, each system is different.

The only thing I figured out is it appears to be random, I cant reproduce it and it doesnt happen twice in a roll. I figured out how to stop it and continue and usually without crash, but it still takes too long and would be a horrible live experience either way...Fcking A!. Go to audio latency settings and hit button as if you were to make latency changes and it might reset TSP's audio engine..

I also want to mention I have AVG on my cpu.

 

That the tracks run at hyper speed isn't really my first problem. Traktor Pro crashes nearly every time I start it up whitin about 2 seconds. Traktor gives me rarely a chance to load and play a track.

And when it doesn't crash at the startup. I have to choose my audio device in the preferences-window, else I can't play anything at all. When I press close, there occurs nearly every time an error and Traktor shuts down immediatly.

I have also AVG and I have the same problems when I disable AVG. Giving the program admin-permissions and disabling the firewall are also non-successfull solutions. Very strange ...

 

guys, why do u need an anti-virus? I have 2 partitions, one with WinXP nd all my DJ stuff, no programs except Tag&Rename and Traktor PRO + NI Audio Kontrol 1 Software, that's it. Unneeded devices such as Wireless Internet, LAN Adapter, CD Drive, etc have been disabled, no need for any antivirus or anything, and then I have Vista on a different Partition which is for my work.

That's how it's supposed to be. Get rid of everything u dont really need and I can assure u it'll work!

 

Im running Vista 32bit Buisness "NO SP1"
and it runs fine for me been testing it at home for few days and tweaking it as never had it b4, Dj'd the old fasioned way till i got Ableton live 7, but wanted to get back to the hands on feel of dj'ing but with the kool effects and stuff, first live gig will be NYE, but i am confident it will go fine as i have been fking around here at home and if its going to crash then i think it would be when i am trying to tweak or explore its features.
Fingers Crossed.
if you never hear from me again its cause it did crash and i had the crowd rip me to piece's

Hahaha, knock 'em dead. Good luck with it

 

Here I am a new user of the forum and TSP.

I'll use this topic to post my problem:
On the installation DVD in my package was Traktor SP/P v1.0.0.250. I've installed it, tried it, done a few mixes - everything was brilliant. On friday I've checkd for updates - service center found one and I've installed it. Then I shutdown my laptop.
On saturday (the next morning) I called my friend, who's also a DJ, to show him how Traktor works - I've opend it and ... TSP (the upgraded version) didn't recognized my vinyl (I've check Audio8DJ setup), SYNC dind't work (I guess beacuse the failure of recognizig vinyls) - anything went wrong.
A few hours ago I've completely uninstalled Traktor and Audio8 drivers, restarted my laptop and installed the version 1.0.0.250. Afer a sucesfull startup Traktor crashed in the middle of nothing.
I've statred it again - crash... 4 times! Then I run "startup wizard" changed to TP and again to TSP and now seems to be working fine...
I'm affraid of next saturdays gig...

So my question is - is the upgrade buggy? Or are there special ways to install it..
