These sound like issues that happen when the computer has been asleep or dormant for a while.

What type of internal HD does your computer have? Is it a WD Drive by any chance? Also - are you using an external HD? Do you completely restart ScratchLIVE and your computer right before you DJ? Do you have all your sleep settings set to Never for the computer and the drive?

hi , on the computer its set to never sleep al the music is on an external wd .i was djin' so the external shouldnt of went to sleep.... but maybe it did ..how can i check that?
before i dj the computer gets fresh start then i open Scratchlive.Bluetooh off Wireless off Antivirus off f12 is off also

The WD External HD might be the one causing the issue. See here: serato.com

Sleep settings are different for each drive - many drives come with a software that allows you to change the settings - but in your case I believe the issue is simply the WD drive....

i have noticed that if i use internal mode to play a recorded set once i put needle on record i get studders in the sound so i keep lifting the needle up and down till it catches up with itself ..hehe its noticable though maybe someting is goin to sleep

i wiil red tht link thanks.

ok the innternal hd has never been changed. i read the link u posted but tht was for internal hd. dont see how an external hd could cuse windows in scratchlive not to open ..is there anything else i can try? again thanks

There are issues with WD drives in general - not just the internal HDs..

Have you tried not using the external - do you still get issues?

so saturdays gig i left the sampler open all night and had no probs.. will look into gettin new hd. imy back up drive is a 2tb seagate will tht work better? again thanks for helping me with this
