Now, let me explain "freezing". The music doesn't actually stop but the software visuals don't work. The wave lengths stop, the search stops, etc. This happens normally when using the search feature when looking for a specific song or artist.
Again, when at home with nothing but desktop speakers & my external drive, there are no issues. But when I get to a gig & I have the following connected, that's when the freezing happens.
Laptop -
5 port USB port - mouse - external drive - traktor 2
4 channel mixer - wireless mic - 2 powered speakers
So, is this likely to be a software issue or is it a hardware issue draining memory? As far as I know, no hardware should be draining memory. Especially enough memory to cause this.
I'm running an HP with a Intel core i5 processor, x64, 1.7 Ghz processor & 6 gigs of RAM. I thought I had 8 gigs but I just checked & its 6. That could be an issue.
I'm using UltraMixer5 Pro DJ software.
Any idea why it works at home with minimal hardware yet freezes for a few seconds when using the search feature at a gig with a complete setup/software?
