    I would try optimizing your mac…

    i tried it with my Sony Viao and sometimes have the odd worrying heart stopping freeze/hang proberly down to me using the internet or having something left running in the background.

    Never had this problem in 1.7.5 and 1.7.6, I think the last version I had a problem with was way earlier (like first release of DJ when I moved from Itch).

    DJ Marcel,
    I feel your pain…one of the things I did to minimize freezing and drop out was to be sure my macbook pro was optimized for digital DJ’ing. There are a number of great ideas mentioned in one of my earlier posts named “Serato Crash and Burn” dated September 20, 2016. Additionally, make sure your macbook is “fast enough” for the software your running, I am running 8GB/500GB and have very few issues. Even though the machine is new, you should still optimize, there are probably several programs running that you aren’t aware of and close down. I would also look at all of my cables. Not all USB’s are created equally. Lastly, make sure your computers sleep setting is for never (this is a part of the optimization).

    Best of luck,

    I was thinking about moving from Traktor to Serato, but now I got full Serato DJ version to try and its awful. It runs (when loading) much slower than Traktor. And I have about a 1500 songs Traktor library, while Serato library have 12 songs. I wonder how it will be when there will be 1500…. While with Traktor its like – run the program and you good to go in next 10 sec time, with Serato i need to wait from 1 minute and up…And its looks like Serato is optimized for OS, not for Windows. So far I’m disappointed with the ‘flagship tru-djs-software’. I think I’m not ready to deal with freezes and instability just for more correct bpm detection….Just don’t see any advantages over Traktor or MixVibes Cross by far…Both of them looks and feels better than Serato. I might be wrong, but its a first look…
    My system:
    i5-3320m
    8gb Ram
    1tb Evo SSD
    Win 10 Pro.
