Recording audio on DJM850 tracks skipping (jumping) problem

Hi i'm having problems recording my sets, every now and then the audio skips -jumps, only in the final  recording not when i'm playing ,can any one help me please?

Setup:

DJM 850 - XDJ 1000 - Ableton live 8 - MBP Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

Im using the DJM 850 setup to record in Post channel faders for each channel .

Everything is updated and i always close all the application, and i turn off my wi-fi too.

Thanx !!

@Jonathan > What is the spec of your MBP and what is the latency (buffer) setting for the audio inputs?

Jonathan Lopez

Hi !

MBP- Mac OS X 10.7.5

Processor : 2 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

My input latency - sample rate is 44100

I download Audition CS6 and it works perfect no skipping on my recordings...

By the way, what do you think is the best way to record dj sets? 

Thanx for replying my message!

@Jonathan > Could you tell me what the latency (buffer) is in the Ableton preferences:

My buffer size was  514 samples, i don't know why, maybe that was the problem? i haven't try to record again with a 512 buffer size, i'm gonna try and i let you know.

Your sample size should be set to the lowest value where no audio anomalies occur; if on your computer, that value is 1024, then use 1024. If it's 40, use 40! It's different for each; 512 just happens to be the default.

I would recommend trying a higher value (say 1024) and see if that affects the quality.

As you aren't using the software for performance, only recording, you can set a very high value - it won't affect your use of the program and you'll end up with better quality.

I'm having the same issue.  Is this resolved?

Have you tried using the latest drivers (released last November)? 

Brandon Bodine

I believe the November '16 release v1.410 is for Windows 10.

I'm running Windows 8.1 and have the latest drivers for that
as far as I know.  v1.301 released in Aug '16. 

Brandon Bodine

I've tried recording with various programs with same skipping/jumping sound

@Brandon > What is your computer spec?

Brandon Bodine

@Jonathan > Not sure if you're still receiving the notification emails from this thread, but if so, are you possibly also running an AMD processor?

Brandon Bodine

yes AMD processor

 

 

 

 

Brandon Bodine

I still can't figure it out.. driving me nuts.

 

 

Pulse

@Brandon > That last question was to see if @Jonathan was also using an AMD processor - trying to find a common thread.

Brandon Bodine

funny I thought it seemed redundant
