Hey Jblenz,

Does it stay in the red and cause other issues, or is it just shooting red then coming down?

Tell me more about it if you can so i can build a bit of a picture of what maybe happening :)

It stays in the red and starts cutting out the music if i mix? Should i just re-install osx? Or upgrade to lion with a fresh start? I use to use serato scratch live with turntables and no problems at all

Hey JBlenz,

Let's take it slowly o.k, no need to rush into doing anything drastic like fresh installs yet.
Run though this quickly to optimize your Mac :
serato.com

Also i'll get you to check in the activity monitor what your CPU is doing while you run ITCH.? (you can find this program in utilities)

Are you running a bluetooth mouse?
