Plz help!!!! Dropout problems during DJing

[hodge]

During my last gigs i had the problem that
i got dropouts when i
- trigger new clips
- use my Evolution controller (not even extensively)

These problems occured after a hour of playing,
then i can do nothing but play from a CD-J.

That's a big problem for me. I am sincerly thinkin about playing
with CD-Js in the future. But that would be very disappointing.

My setup is:
Live 5.02 (i will try the 5.03)
Powerbook 15inch 1.5.GHz, I GB Ram, 5200RPM 80GB Harddisk
Mac OS 10.3.9

I keep my Powerbook well organized and i don't install unnecessary Applications.
I have more than 7GB free Space on the main Partition.
My Mac is always up to date. It's not long ago that i formated my
Main Harddisk.

Could that problem be solved with Tiger?
Or is the Powerbook to slow?
Or is 5.03 the solution?

Please help me!

I think this is actually Live issue, as it's been brought up and experienced by may people (including me) on Macs and XP systems. After about an hour or so, random dropouts start happening more and more frequently. If you have CDJ's, just play a song off those while you reboot your computer.

Hi hodge,

the first thing you should try (as you already wrote) is to check how it feels with Live 5.0.3. Please report back if you have these problems still with Live 5.0.3.

both are related to cpu spikes... so check your problem and see if the cpu spikes also happens to you... (btw, i got the audio dropouts with our without the cpu spikes)
