"DropoutCount.log" - File Explanation

Hi Serato and fellow S users,

Can someone explain to me what the different entries mean in the DropoutCount.log file:

- Limiter Indicator
- Total Unmasked Dropouts
- Total Masked Dropouts
- Callback Dropout Indicator


Last night I suffered a few live audio drop out, and now came across this:

"2014/11/09, 04:39:19 SAST Limiter Indicator
2014/11/09, 04:39:19 SAST Total Unmasked Dropouts: 811
2014/11/09, 04:39:19 SAST Total Masked Dropouts: 0
2014/11/09, 04:39:19 SAST Callback Dropout Indicator"

I tried to search the Forum and web but could not find a detailed explanation.

All help and info appreciated!

Thanks I hope to get this resolved ASAP.

I got a residence for the December holiday at a club so need to get my stuff sorted out ASAP, can not risk having any faults from my side...

Hope 1.7.2 will be Yoshemite compatible and released before Dec otherwise I'll step back to Mavericks...

You're right

Just a quick update:

Got this answer on another thread from Serato:

"Those figures are the number of dropouts you have had. A Masked dropout is one that we identify as having caused no audio issue, whereas an Unmasked dropout is one which may (but doesn't necessarily have to). Again I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you are seeing the dropout indicator on screen and having audio dropouts."
