Curious if anyone can tell me if VDJ 7 requires more processing horsepower than VDJ 6. That would make sense due to the ability to control additional decks, however, new code is often streamlined in ongoing releases. I have VDJ 7 installed on my netbook, and have found that now when I try to play 2 tracks together while the second one is still loading, I sometimes get a snap/crackle/pop which I assume is from the processor maxing out for a split second. This is while using my Vestax VCI-101 controller and the built in sound card (the headphone jack) so I figure it's not a latency issue (bad assumption?) In any case, the exact same set-up with VDJ 6 has no issues, so I am wondering if extra overhead required by VDJ 7 could be the cause? If so, I guess it's back to VDJ 6 on the netbook, or try to trim some background services. Anyone able to chime in with a suggestion or similar observation?

I also use a netbook (Advent 4211b/1.6 Atom/2Gb Ram) and I don't have any issues with CPU overloading. I do use a DJIO with it though, as I connect it all through to a DDM4000 mixer, with NDX800's controlling it all.
Strangely, I do have an issue (that's in-hand) with Dual NDX's in version 7, and only because of this do I still use version 6.

I have not seen or heard an issue either, but I am using an external Soundcard.

Unless the processor is constantly at 100% then I don't see it as an issue at all.

try setting the latency to AUTO
uhhhh netbook ......why ??
for another 100 or 200 you can have a laptop with twice the ram and more usb ports ????
at any rate try AUTO/ increasing the latency
trimming background processes never hurts
if you need help PM
most of us here have no idea worth mentioning about CPU'S and Operating Systems, including me
i personally shy away from statements about what uses a lot of processing and what doesn't
VDJ 7 has many new features. I am sure every new release tries to utilize the various operating systems and hardware
more efficiently than it's predecessors, making comparisons difficult .......especially when new operating systems like
windows 7 enter the equation ......

The netbook is my "toy." I use a bootcamped Macbook Pro for the "real" djing. Actually I am really impressed with VDJ performance on the netbook, with the only issue being slow song loads (and now the performance issue using VDJ 7). So impressed, in fact, that I was thinking of buying another controller, a cheap, tiny one if possible, to go along with my 11" netbook. This would make the ultimate, impromptu party combination that you can throw into a bag, and rock at house parties or get togethers without too much worry about damage from beer or other people jamming on it!
