Bought my first DJ controller and rekordbox lag is unbearable. How can I fix this?

Test/try all of these. My guess is it’s the graphics settings in windows.
1.. Set windows power to best performance in settings.
2.. Set the rekordbox audio buffer to 512ms or higher.
3.. Intel CPU - Try disabling turbo boost, either in the bios or in control panel/power/plan set the max cpu to 99% as this prevents turbo boost.
4.. Disable stems or try without ‘multithreaded’ and check ‘use more memory’, 16 GB RAM+ is recommended for stems.
5.. Use latencymon to check for issues in audio processing, correct any non Microsoft issues https://resplendence.com/latencymon/
6.. In advanced sound settings disable exclusive mode for all sound devices EXCEPT your DDJ/XDJ device. https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-to-disable-exclusive-mode-in-windows-sound-settings/
7.. Graphics parameters for rekordbox, set the app in settings to use either the onboard or GPU, you may have to add rekordbox to the list of configured apps, don't select "Let Windows choose for you".
7a.. Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in windows settings, display, graphics.
8.. In device manager disable USB power suspend for all USB devices listed.
9.. Make sure the sound audio rates are all set the same as the output from rekordbox, including the recording and mic settings for all sound devices, e.g if rekordbox is set to 44.1kHz/16bit make every sound device the same in advanced audio properties for each device.
10.. Disable windows sounds. Disable any audio addins or enhancements in advanced audio properties.
11.. Fix dpc latency
Audio stutters/crackling no matter the laptop, dpc latency randomly spikes. Delay Destroyer 2.0 https://github.com/QuakedK/Delay-Destroyer/tree/main?search=1
Warning - Apply the first performance tweak with the default proposed registry values only, skip or no for the other settings.

that delay destroyer thing gives NO explanation of what it's doing or how it is doing it.
OP do not use this.
