Hi my name is Phil. I just recently bought the Pioneer DDJ S1 controller using itch. At first I was having problems with starting the program up. It kept crashing. I contacted serato about the issue on their forum and they been walking me through some steps but still having problems. I use Serato Scratch Live S1 Box at the club I DJ at and it works perfect. Same Computer im trying to use itch and pioneer controller on. My computer is a Sony Vaio, Intel Duo Processor i3 with 4GB of ram 2.20ghz. I have around 105,000 songs and analyzed all of them and deleted all corrupted files. I also rebuilt my library the way serato says to do it and also optimized my computer the way they told me to do it. Theres nothing on my computer but Scratch Live and Itch. Here are some of the problems Im currently having.....
When I have both my external drive and controller plugged in and start up itch the program freezes and it crashes. It uses up all my ram. The only way to get itch started up working is when i have my controller unplugged first and my external drive plugged in. I start up itch and it loads all my music then I plug my controller in and it works. BUT theres no effects. They are showing Empty. When i press the button on the controller it stays solid. The guy on serato forum says its using all my memory up and its not allowing me to use the effects but he also told me im above minimum specs so im not sure why its not working.
Now it cannot be my harddrive because when I loaded around 17,000 songs everything worked perfect. but when I load all my music i get the problems mentioned above. Is there a file messing this up? or is itch not capable of handling all this music? Again im having no problems with scratch live.
This is a cool controller and wish it would work 100% hope you can help me. Thank You
