No, do as you suggested just making the one alteration at a time, that should eventually pin point the problem.

Thanks Roy. The reason why I spend 3 or 4 nights on the same scenario is to avoid as much randomness as I can. For example, If a crash occurs 1 of 100 songs on average, mathematically it can still happen three times in a row or even not at all for 300 songs. I'd just hate to eliminate one source over a short period of time (say 40 songs), but all the time that source COULD have been the cause, without knowing. Then I would never get anywhere with any certainty.
Am I making any sense?

Anyway, I'll hammer on VDJ this week, and then add McAfee in next week, perhaps. Thinking way ahead here, what if I work back to where I was in the very beginning and getting no crashes with that beginning scenario that caused up to 4 a night. Then I'd still be worried about "when will it crash next".

I had another flawless show Thursday night with VirtualDJ running all night. I always keep it up every show because after every 4th or 5th Singer, I play a dance song. I also use it to play music before the show.

Tempo was enabled and Norton enabled. Fade in "0" ; Fade out "5"

I use Instabuttons frequently (I have 83 set up), at times one after the other in sequence while they are still playing. All are mp3's.

I have run with and without RS enabled and had no problems.

Because of some past problems with it, I never use BA...

I do still get "crashes," but they are very rare (sometimes one a month, sometimes longer)...

How often do you gig, Kod?

With remove Silence on, did you use and added silence between songs, such as before song audio starts and after song audio ends (in the remove silence options)?

Do you use videos with Virtual DJ before and during the show?


Was your crashes that you did have similar to mine (at the very end of a song after it has stopped completely)?


When you did crash and restart hoster, did the singers screen appear half-sized when it came back on?

Oh, also, what was your audio setting at, mine is at the default ten.

Bryant,

I do two to three shows a week.

My default Audio settings are: Auto Play Delay "2" ; Prevent Audio Dropouts "0."

My Remove Silence settings are at Hoster's beck and call. I never change it after Hoster removes silence.

No Video's in VirtualDJ, MP3's only!

Whenever Hoster crashes, it always comes back normally with Singers still in place...

Crashes have "always" been at the end of a song, never one one particular song. It's random...

Have a Show tonight...

Great, thanx for the info, what I meant about the remove silence delay's is not the "beck and call" part of hoster. There is an option in the remove silence dialogue box that allows you to place added silence before an after every song. I'm thinking my setting of 3 seconds before and three seconds after somehow conflict with another fade setting, but maybe not? The purpose for this is so that no song will jump right to the audio portion so quick that the singer will have to ask for a restart, and at the end sometimes in songs there are words that are spoken with no audio and the singer would get cut off. The added silence eliminates all those possibilities.
