Improving Traktor on a P.O.S. PC

[LiveFastStephen]

deff depending on how much ram you have, I knew that then read "Windows defaults to setting virtual memory (sometimes referred to as Page Swap or Swap File) automatically. Under most circumstances this is fine, but for audio it can sometimes be a hindrance to performance." so disabled it on my laptop full of ram. Im going to do a test on my girl friends 512mb of ram.

yeah, i know what you mean/referring to, but i haven't had any issues

RAM is sooo cheap, id be running down to the shops to upgrade it !

May I suggest a minimal OS like tinyXP if you are having trouble with resources. Works great for many computers I have put it on.

right click the Traktor short cut on your desktop & click properties
in the "Short Cut" tab in the "Target" should read the following:

"C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor\Traktor.exe"

*At the End paste in* /prefetch:1

So it now reads: "C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor\Traktor.exe" /prefetch:1

just tried combining this with the shell tweak in monicas article, recommend it

haha so the /prefetch:1 thing might not be a myth,
interesting how something even made by man can be so cryptic.
