Why does my DDJ-SR keep crashing???

this is a very general question m8..!
u should refine your question eliminating all the possibilities creating the crash.
and describe your set up(software,hardware and usb cables)
the possibilities might be:
-damaged mp3 file,analyse the tracks using serato if you work with it(i prefer traktor,been using it for years now)
-i you have mac you must avoid el capitan upgrade,it isnt stable yet.
-check your memory and cpu usage

do what ever you can to solve it by your self because it is in your hands.
my sr with serato keeps crashing after 30mins playing in the club tried everything and turned to traktor as i used to and the problem dissapeard.
the sx i have after one year working with it still has no freeze.
there must be some bugs left on sr to be fixed.
by the way i am still waiting a fully working tsi for traktor and pioneer just ignores that.!what else can i say??!

if you can do a re-intall of everything os and software!

If you are using Virtual DJ 8, you have to sign in and keep it signed in with your credentials. I had the same issue. Hope this helps.
