I had to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion and VDJ.

I think cstoll helped me last time. I am waiting for a response from him but I wanted to see what everyone else would suggest.

What happens is when I have a song already playing and I search for another song it sometimes slows down (stutters) the current song playing?

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me with this issue as everything else seems to be ok.

It is a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with 8gb memory.

Thanks!!!

I have mine with mid 2012 macbook pro 13.3 i have just purchased it end august the specs is:

2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
16GB memory (bad luck apple told me that VRAM is depend on available memory but when i upgraded from 8GB to 16GB still have 512MB VRAM it does not changed proportionately to the RAM available the PC is still best in upgrading the system)
Intel HD Graphics 4000 Graphic Card
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive (Not happy with this 7200-rpm will be the best)
Runs on OSX Lion (with Virtual DJ & Serato ITCH for my Xone DX)

TEST-1: I have run the Virtual DJ it skips some of the waveforms on the main windows but the sounds is ok so i don't bothered much of that but big issue on video but still manageable.

TEST-2: I tried to run it with Serato ITCH more noticeable jerks and (stutters) on the current song playing? I also called up serato what is the solution they told me it is the LION OS has some problems on Graphic card refresh rates and they have advice me to download the latest driver but no luck and it still the same no improvement as well. So i take another Fujitsu Laptop made in Germany AH531/HD6 i7 with almost the same specs as my macbook but happily my Fujitsu laptop eats and sweep away my 13.3 macbook pro. Now i leave it like that i have tried to return my macbook pro 13.3 but void warranty as i have upgraded on my own (DIY) and i have contacted apple stupid tech supports advice me some stupid answers.

Conclusion: Apple is not the best machine at this time the reason behind is APPLE and PC are using exactly the same components not like before the apple CPU, MEMORY, MOTHER BOARD, HD & GRAPHIC CARDS are specially built exclusively for apple and the only thing that is good in apple today is the physical appearance it is sexy nothing more. There are some PC which is built better than apple, some Video Guys like NLE editors don't recommend apples machine for Video Editing because it is hard to customized powerfully they still prepare PC's as the best machines on earth like HP & DELL server type of machines. The funny thing according to video magazine is apple launch the 12-core with intel xeon CPU machine with most of the peripherals are low specs like Memory is 1333MHZ instead of using 1666MHZ, VRAM are 1GB they must used 2GB so and so.

It turns out it was the PureScratch setting I had to select. Bobis (DJDad) did not recommend it but that was the setting it was on before I had a crash and lost everything. Thank God I keep my music on a separate hard drive with a back up of that hard drive as well.
