Hi all,
I've noticed since the last versions of VDJ that sometimes a little dropout (single dropout, not recurrent) occurs when I activate stems by pressing the stem effect buttons or rotating the assigned knobs, The same may occur when I load a new song on a deck or also when I start/stop the track while prelistening it.
The dropouts are not recorded using the internal recorder, but are present on the main output, so on any recording of it.
Tried, with no success, to turn off all new features, AI lyrics and flex grid, no change.
Using MAC M1 8GB running Tahoe 26.2.

Dropout or "stuttering" sound, or even speeding up suddenly? I've had stutterings and speedups randomly. I hear them in the speakers but yes, when I listened to a recording of my show done directly in VDJ, the audio artifacts are not there!

Do you use HDMI for audio?
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) ?
If you increase the size of the sound buffer in VirtualDJ to test if the noise is still the same?
Does it sound like "gri gri gri" with a periodic pattern?

Thanks for your answers,
@DJNeidermeyer, not stuttering, not speeding up. Only a little "silence" when i turn on stems or i load songs.
Ok stems are not precalculated, but I had no problems before.
Once, during a perfomance, I had LONG dropouts (4 / 5 seconds ?) ... people were looking at me.
Then i discovered that some sort of song archive analysis was started (during a perfomance?) and i saw that pushed the CPU usage >=100%.
@djcel no HDMI, just VDJ running on a MAC M1 which i reboot before any performance.
No EMI interference, no random glitches or dropouts, no periodic noises: I hear audio dropout on the cases I described, so activating stems or loading songs. It can happen randomly, not all times, but it's always when I do those actions.
Increasing the buffer size was the first thing I tried, with no success. I can try it again, please tell me what the parameter is, so i can test it again.
Thanks

I've been experiencing the same and found this thread while researching the problem. I've sometimes had short dropouts when loading a song on the other deck for quite some time (6 months at least). I increased the buffer size (latency 512), and last weekend there where no dropouts on songs loading. Instead now I have dropouts when activating stem fx, which makes them unusable - even though it's only a couple of milliseconds, you can clearly hear it on the club speakers.
I also have an M1 MacBook, I also reboot bevore every performance and close everything that is not needed. The stem-fx dropouts only occured with the latest version. The dropouts on song loading have been going on for a while (I even increased the buffer in the past to no success and decreased the song loading priority). I believe a buffer size of 512 should not be needed on my system, so I feel like it is caused by something else. I have been using VDJ for quite some time bevor the problems started with a very low buffer on the same machine without any problems.

Hello,
Last weekend, I was DJing with VirtualDJ again. I connected my Denon MC6000MK2 to my MacBook Air with an M2 chip using a small USB-A to USB-C adapter.
After about 45 minutes or so, I suddenly started experiencing audio dropouts or skips that sounded like a CD skipping.
Could this be caused by the USB-A to USB-C adapter? Or could it be related to the latency/buffer setting in VirtualDJ?
Or could the WolfMix connection/software somehow interfere with the USB audio connection?
Has anyone experienced the same or a similar issue, especially with a MacBook Air M2 and a Denon MC6000MK2?

Glad I've found this thread about drop outs, since I updated to the latest version I am getting random audio drop outs while live streaming to Twitch. The VB audio virtual cable assigned to the Master output just disappears and I have to go back in and add it? I am also getting lagging on my music videos. I am using a DDJ800 controller usb connection to a gaming laptop that runs OBS along with VDJ. Anyone else had similar issues?
