Audio Dropouts on Rekordbox 4.0.5 with Pioneer DDJ-RX

@Oliver > What is your audio buffer setting within rekordbox?

512 Samples, I've tried raising it and still get the same issue

If you open the Activity Monitor, do you have any other applications running with considerable resource use?

Kernal_task is 10%. i'm not sure what that is

That's the operating system. If you sort by the CPU % or Memory (on the Memory tab) you can see the highest-users at the top.

Yeah that's what i meant. the only thing below Rekordbox that's above 10% is Kernal_task. nothing else

Did you try sliding the buffer size to the max (2016 samples) ?

I'll try that in a second and get back to you, although i just switched between browse mode and 2-Deck Horizontal Waveform mode for a few minutes at a time and the CPU usage is considerably lower when its in browse mode. Could it be something to do with the Waveforms?

The next question is how it behaves if you change the drawing performance from HIGH to MEDIUM (found in the preferences).

I'll try that as well, do I need to quit Rekordbox and reopen it when i change these settings at all?

No, they're pretty instantaneous.

Nothing's changed unfortunately.

Which OS are you running?

El Capitan

I've just created a ticket for you, you should see an email - our rekordbox team will get it and probably ask you a few more questions.

I appreciate that, Thanks very much

Hi,

Same problems. I tried, I believe all that is possible.

Pioneer ddj-sx2 / Rekordbox 4.05 / Mac Book Pro i7, 16gb Ram, 1To SSD, 500gb free.

The cpu get crazy with more or less noise and glitches on sound, without reason.  Can you imagine the situation when you mix in club or big party ?! It comes from Rekordbox for sure, I tested the SX2 with Traktor and Serato and it works perfectly. Unfortunately I prefer Rekordbox ! (However, a organisation of the tracks like Traktor would be welcome...for me.)

Thanks if you have an idea / solution, or I will be obliged to leave Rekordbox !

@David > Please post to a new question so as not to confuse or contaminate this topic, I'll be happy to help you there.

Sure, sorry ...

@Oliver > Have you tried using another USB cable?

The engineers would also like you to provide a screenshot of the activity monitor, both the CPU and MEMORY tabs, please.

How does the dropout meter work inside of Rekordbox? Mine is at 50% when I play on performance mode? Do I need to worry? How do you lower it? 

@S Portillo > Ensure that you have disabled all other background applications or tasks that don't need to be running. You can read through this article for some basic troubleshooting tips.

was there a fix for this??  I'm having a similar problem...

@Brad > Are you using the latest version of rekordbox with updated firmware on your controller and have you followed other comments / tips in this topic to ensure your computer is running at its best?
