My first guess would be to give yourself a biggest sample rate and buffer size in sound card settings, it sounds like they are way too low… If I lower mine it basically pops crackles drops out etc…

Im the same mine stays on most of the time, quantise goes on and off, if you want to drum a cue point fast or play a beat using a few you can only play to the tempo of the song with quantise on so with it off you can mess around a bit more freely.

And as for the snap, when setting cue points is the only time I may turn it off since I can then zoom right in on a noise and get it perfect, but this goes straight back on for looping 🙂 means i dont have to have amazing quick reflexes.

Mapping whise I think the official mapping works pretty well for that, its a real shame it doesnt have a sound card though, but does make an amazing effects unit and is solid, ive used mine for over 2 years of hours of use everyday and the buttons hold up well compaired to my omni control after about a year they started gettin a bit glitchy…

When you get your soundcard patrick let us no and we’ll help you get up and running 🙂

Oo the mp3 e2. 🙂 I likes them you can see one in the left of my pic, I use it for effects and loops now 🙂

Basically what you will need is a usb soundcard, the native instruments audio 2 dj or the numark io are cheapest but best for what you need 🙂 not sure on the speaker front as ive had the same pair of philips for years

Stereotypes I get a lot and despise:

I do every drug under the sun; I don’t do any except for nicotine and alcohol.

I can mix any two tracks together; If someone can find me a way to go from drum and bass to the Vengaboys, be my guest.

I can scratch; I can’t.

I’m a producer; I’m not.

I can remix any track there and then; I can’t. This also includes the chavs saying “Naww mate, stick a bassline on it!”

I can turn up to DJ with 30 mins notice; It takes hours of prep-work.

I’m a party animal; Sure, I like parties, and love to drink, but to be honest, I’m happy with a glass of wine in a nice chilled bar.

I’ll DJ your wedding for you; Probably should considering it’s easy money (and plenty of it), but I’d be bored to death.

I want to talk about music and nothing else; I love to talk about music, but it’s not my entire life.

I use vinyl; Why would I carry around 85 metric tons of music around when I can take tens of thousands of tracks in a few kilos?

I can use any digital DJ software on the planet; I went back to VDJ the other day and realised I’d forgotten how to use it (I use Traktor now)

I’m sure there’s more. Writing this has actually made me a little angry lol

I liked all yours bar one :p you should at least be able to turn upto a dj gig with your stuff and play with 30 mins notice :p this is were knowing your songs comes in handy, I could get a call right now and go drop a fresh 5 hour dubstep or electro set in 30 mins time 🙂
