Hello. I just purchased Pioneer's ddj ergo which comes with Virtual DJ LE. I installed all the software and connected everything and its all working fine. The problem is that when i play music on it every couple of min/sec it looks like virtual dj lags and i hear a strech like noise thats really really annoying.... i'm not even sure who i need to adress this problem to - you or pioneer but i'll do both becouse maybe someone will know the solution. Thanks for the help in advance!

Your computer may have performance and/or configuration issues (I.e: A background process is causing the above issue.)

Yep sounds like a computer issue rather than the ERGO. Remember - as the ERGO is only usb powered - having lots of usb's plugged into your computer can make your computer lag also.

Yup i thought of that too, but i doubt it since the CPU bar in the left top corner only goes up to 1-2 green bars and the computer is really high end... but i'll make sure to reinstall windows and clean whats unneccesery... Anyway Thank you for the replay :))

Latency is important, and your computer may not be optimised for low latency. Low CPU usage doesn't mean low latency.
Most computers (Even high end ones) are built with typical home/office users in mind and are usually loaded with lots of unnecessary software that you'll never use ('Bloatware') and laptops are usually optimised for battery life rather than maximum performance. These may not perform well for DJ use as a result. You will need to optimise your computer by following the advice on the above page.
If you re-install Windows, use an OEM Windows install CD if possible, otherwise you may end up with the bloatware installed again if you use the manufacturer's restore CD. Only load the software and drivers that you actually need.

hey I agree with the above comment. my laptop gave me all kinds of sounds pops and crakles, through many tweaks and disable senarios, it now runs sweet, no glitches, pop crakles, I now run DPC latency checker and its all good I used to get spikes every 10-15 secs, now it barely runs at 90-189 according to DPC latency checker
follow the adice man.
How do you find the ergo generally.......I am considering it or maybe the numark NS6

If you have red or orange lines in latency checker, then your computer has serious latency issues which you will need to find the cause of and resolve for optimum performance. Usually these are caused by bad drivers (Wireless and ACPI battery are the most common causes.)
Please see: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Performance%20Issues.html
Also, make sure that you have the latest firmware and drivers from Pioneer: http://pioneer.jp/support/download/index-e.html

Hello is that true that the virtual dj le that comes with the ddj ergo v works only for 10 min??

No. The VirtualDJ LE that comes with Pioneer Ergo-V has no time limitations. You can use it as long as you wish.
VirtualDJ Home FREE has the 10 minutes time limitation, and this is only for external controllers/soundcards support.
