After reading and reading about turning my laptop into a karaoke machine, I finally got it to work. I have a 2.66 pentium4 laptop with 40gig on the drive ( I know I'm going to need a larger external drive but im in the test mode right now) I also have 785mb of ram. Im using pcdj fx VRM kj and I ripp my mp3+gs with audiograbber (1.83v). Everything is great but, when i try to upload a song into the KJ while playing a song in one of the players I get a jitter in the audio, is there a way i can prevent this from happening? I remember that my pcdj red had an option to re start my computer with pcdj red only so that no other program would interfear with it's functions, but i have not found this option with pcdj fx VRM wich is what im using. any Ideas? thanks

your memory may not be adequate... and kill all programs other than pckj...
see if it still happens.
If it does, you may have to use winamp as your player of karaoke files!

First of all you want to optomize your pc for PCDJ. You want to turn off all transition effects, they sometimes and mostly always are the first culprit. Second you want to set your computers performance to Adjust to best Performance by going into control panel click on system, advanced, performance. 3rd if you are running XP it is prefered that you view the desktop in classic view now xp. Try those 2 things out, if it doesnt help PCDJ has forumns which are great since you have PCDJ for optimizing for their software. This is in no way an advertisement, just one PCDJ user trying to help out another PCDJ user.

DiscoBrian, thanks for your help. I tried your advice and it solved my problem. I optimized the performance and used the classic windows display and it fixed the problem. Thank You.

If you use the pcdj record case vs the drag and drop from the windows file system you will notice that you will not have any jitters.
But nost of the time it's just and optimization issue.
Free up more ram also by running msconfig and disable all unneeded start up items.

Lyquid is exactly right, I don't know how much I can stress to not be online while DJing and turning off your anti-virus. Me personally I have PCDJ on 4 computers, 1 can be online and use Napster, another I can't do anything other than DJing. Both computers are Windows XP and Pentium 4, My Laptop is a Centrino and I havent tried doin other things cause it sometimes studders. PCDJ is coming out with a new VRM sofware with a new audio engine, don't know when it will be out, but I hear by the end of the year and it will address all these issues.
