Performance tips for live use
- Disable unnecessary background apps and cloud-sync services during shows.
- Use a dedicated audio interface for outputs; avoid relying only on macOS aggregate devices unless tested.
- Preload and pre-analyze tracks to reduce live CPU load.
- Keep a fallback: a secondary laptop, USB stick with a basic player, or a second instance of Traktor ready.
- Monitor CPU meters and increase buffer size if you see spikes or audio glitches.
- Test all MIDI/controller mappings and USB connections in a rehearsal before a gig.
Key configuration recommendations
- Audio buffer: Start at 128–256 samples for live DJing (lower for USB-Audio-native hardware if latency stable).
- Sample rate: 44.1 kHz is standard for DJ playback.
- Auto-Gain/Limiter: Use sparingly; set gain staging manually where possible.
- Beatgrid & BPM: Pre-analyze tracks and correct beatgrids before performances.
- Hotcues & Loops: Map frequently-used cues and save per-track metadata to the collection.
- Backup: Regularly export and back up your Traktor collection and settings (File > Export Collection / Backup).
