Thanks for the reply. I have used my laptop for my regular music for years and I use to use a traktor program to mix the music. I up graded to a new Dell Studio with windows 7 and the traktor program was not compatible. That is what led me to Hoster because I could use both audio as wells as karaoke. I also use the media player to play regular music. I only have the fade problem when I use Hoster and it doesn't seem to be all the time.
