When using the sc5000M players in HID mode with Serato DJ, does it severely increase your cpu usage?? Mine goes through the roof, so bad that i can’t record a mix. I had the sc5000 players before, never had any issue!
Im using the x1800 as my mixer
All firmware, drivers and Serato versions are up to date, i even upgraded my HDD to an SSD and increased the RAM from 8GB to 16GB but that hasnt really helped. Iv done all the system optimization on my laptop that Serato asks.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Also, its a windows 10 laptop but has the same affect on my mac mini, so please, none of the usual ‘buy a mac’ responses!
Its an intel dual core i5, 2.5ghz x 2. Iv never had issues with any other equipment, even the sc5000s were flawless. Would there be a problem with the moving platters? Like they send extra midi info or somthing? Im hoping there is just somthing i need to turn off or on in the serato settings to fix it but cant see anything!
If you are using serato bare bones sure you can get away with dual core, but once you start using FX, KeyLock, PNT it will struggle.
It’s common knowledge in the Serato forums even though their documentation states otherwise.
These are simply the minimum requirements to run Serato DJ Pro and the Serato DJ ProExpansion Packs. For best performance and for use in professional situations we recommend you use a higher spec computer, preferably with an Intel processor.
