Topic: Songs loading very slowly

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi ,
did a gig last night and everything worked fine until about 5 hours into the gig , then the songs wouldn't load . What was happening is that when i loaded the file it would only load partly and stop when i hit play it would carry on loading , staying just ahead of the played part, it did play all the way through though. Normally the songs do load straigh away and this is the first time it has happened. Any suggestions ?

It could be ur system are getting hot after a while n a bit laggy,, U could get something to make ur lappy elevated so it can have more ventilation.. No problem there rite:) as even the song is loading,u still can play it.. Or maybe it something else.. not enough ram etc?

Hi ,
thanks for your reply . Yes maybe heat related but i have done longer gigs and it has been ok. Could be a Ram issue also but again never a problem before. I don't use video but my laptop is only 512 ram.

For recommended use, make ur ram to 1 gb for audio only.. 2 gb if u gonna use video too.. Nowadays ram are cheaper..:)

Wipe the lappy fan ventilation hole everytime after ur gig cos dust could accumulate there.. n hopefully u never have this problem again.. :)

Hi there , aslo check dj cels registry tool the function speed load

tick the box called speedload on the tool

there is a built in system to load songs slower this is to protect weaker machines

it might help if you dissable it
