Topic: VDJ Freezing with Denon DN=MC6000

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I am still having freezing issues and was hoping someone could help me with a fix.
I am using a new Toshiba Tecra M11 with Windows 7 64 bit, an i7 2.8 processer and 8 gig of ram, and a 500GB 7200 RPM HD.
I have configured the laptop for best performance and shut off nearly all start up items including Areo.
I have downloaded the lastest firmware from Denon v1006 and am using 7.0.4 VDJ. I am only playing audio MP3's, no video.
The freezing lasts anywhere from 3-6 seconds, the music does keep playing.
Seems to freeze the most when I am typing in the search area, but does also simply freeze when a song is playing and i am doing nothing.
I have try anywhere from 4ms all the way to 20ms on the Denon and none of the settings seem to matter.
I do not have my wireless on and am not using Netsearch,
I have a feeling there is something I need to adjust in the laptop (maybe with the video card???), any suggestions would be great.
Thanks..........

This may not solve anything, but it may be worth trying the WDM sound (4.1 config) instead of the Denon Asio drivers. It's impossible to get an optimum latency with them and after 6 months I've given up and reverted to WDM. They work fine gig after gig.

There's a major problem either with the Denon drivers or VDJ but experience tells me the Denon drivers are the problem. WDM won't give you such a low latency setting but in reality you'll never notice the difference.

Well i have a dell studio xps 1645 i7 with 4gigs of ram and did a gig yesterday and did not have any problems using asio..... are you using an external hdd or are you using the one on your computer?
 

If you register the product on Denon's website you will be able to download a new version of the firmware. See below.

Denon MC6000

NEW FIRMWARE V.1.0007
Latest Plug-ins: (v.1.007) as of June 8th, 2011

• Adds DN-MC6000 support for Traktor 2 (.tsi file included)
o Add Sample Deck control function
o Add Loop Recorder control function
• Improved pitch slider curve
• Improved touch sensitivity on both decks. New default setting after update.
• Fixed random software/hardware freeze over MIDI communication
• Improved the function to choose JOG Interval Time (3ms - 20ms)
 

My Denon MC6000 is stable overall.

But on the VDJ timeline at the top that scrolls with the music (and the platter wheels), it tends to be a little bit jittery... not super smooth... especially with video. I am using the Denon ASIO driver version 2.2 on a quad core SONY VAIO, Windows 7 64 bit, 4GB RAM. I would think this would be plenty powerful enough for running VDJ.

Any suggestions for smothening this out?
