Ive had my DDJ-S1 for 7 months now and im having issues with it loading tracks for about the first 30 minutes. It powers on fine and I can pull from my hard drive with no problems. As soon as cue the song it starts flickering (like a 1/16 beat loop) and I cant do anything with it resulting in me having to force close. This doesnt do it when simply load it to itch. As soon as I plug in and turn on the unit is when this Chaos all starts.
Ive re-installed drivers for both software and DDJ and still the same results. After about 20 to 30 minutes it decides to start working playing the same songs that i had originally loaded thus not being a problem with the file. It seems to randomly do the same thing during the middle of my set or after i put a longer pre recorded mix on. My laptop is well over the minimum requirements. im running a Hp dv4 intel i5 processor with 2.64 Ghz, 4gig ram and 640 HD. This laptop is solely used for dj'ing so there are no other programs on it to ensure that I didnt have problems with ram or speed.
Ive tried adjusting the buffer size and no response. Ive also tried other usb cables thinking that maybe they were old and I purchased all gold plated cables and stil the same result.
Ive seen in some other threads that it could possibly be the amount of songs that are loaded onto itch which I have created smaller crates and loaded fewer songs and still see the same problem. Is this a known issue before i send it out for repair? Doing something wrong here?
