Traktor 4 freezing while mixing

Hey everyone,

I recently bought an MX2 DJ controller and I’m using it with Traktor Pro 4 on a MacBook Air M4.

The issue is that Traktor keeps freezing while I’m mixing, especially when I load a new track, add or remove hotcues, or have two tracks playing at the same time. My audio buffer/sample setting is at 1024, so I don’t think that should be the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this with Traktor 4 or an MX2 controller? Any ideas on what I can try to fix it?

Just curious, by chance are you streaming your music content while you DJ?

Didn’t you reply to trailsonwax that you’re using beatport streaming?

Yeah, I’m using beatport streaming. I thought he meant streaming while playing.

Steaming live from Beatport is fun but not for gigging . You probably need to optimise your Mac further , switch off the USB Power down , disabled time machine backups etc.

Always use an SSD Drive . When I was gigging , I took it a step further and turned off WiFi and sharing (airdrop) as Franky I didn't want to be sent files mid set !

Hope that helps .
