hey everyone
I have a problem with waveform lags & stuttering on my Macbook pro 13.
I bought this 3 year old laptop for use only with serato dj, due to audio drop outs on my windows pc, but on pc I didn't have any visual lags. I must mention that I have waveform lags even if serato dj is in offline mode ( without controller )
Problem gets bigger when I start to play to songs...
Then cpu uage is going above 60% and I have huge waveform lags & stuttering.

System is clean with srato dj installed only.
There is no music library on this mac yet
240 gb free on hard drive
Nothing connected to the usb

My macbook spec. :

Core 2 duo 2,4 ghz
4gb ram
250 gb
Geforce 320m

Anyone had a similar issue ?

Yes, every Mac user has this problem. Please try to search the forums before posting, this has been asked a thousand times.

Oh, and I forgot to say: no known solution to this problem exists, it is 'just the way it is' I'm afraid.

Menteor,

Is this affecting playback? Is this with wireless and bluetooth off?
