Hey Matthew,
Are you on a Windows computer? It's possibly the Intel Turbo Boost. Follow the instructions here or look up the instructions specific to your computer to disable it through the BIOS.
If you're on a Mac, you can use this handy little switcher.
Hi Thanks for the reply, I'm using Windows 10 on a hp notebook 15 https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c06156549
I've tried changing the figures for turbo boost to 99% I've turned the WiFi off turned the antivirus off, and disabled background tasks but still the same.
I'd recommend you check for any available updates for your computer's drivers and BIOS as well as Windows updates, then disable EVERYTHING you can. That core i3 and only 4GB of RAM are going to need all the help they can get.
You may also want to ensure any unnecessary modes are disabled (such as DVS, video, lyric, lighting) and try decreasing the waveform to MEDIUM:
Where can I disable the dvs, lyric etc I'm brand new to rekordbox and pioneer so apologies if my questions are a bit novice, I did see a recommendation to change the latency setting but it won't let me change it in settings.
Also my tracks are saved on the laptop too, will that make any difference to performance?
Mathew - no worries! Just open the preferences and go tab-by-tab, you'll see a checkbox at the top of each to enable / disable them.
The latency may only be adjustable through the DDJ's device manager application; you might try changing it while the DDJ is connected but rekordbox is closed.
How do I get to the device manager?
If you've installed the drivers, go to your Start menu and you can find the DDJ driver display utility there.
I've downloaded the drivers for the controller, so do I just search ddj driver display in the windows start menu?
Just browse for it - should be under Pioneer > DDJ
