Update
No luck unfortunately
I have been using the backup laptop for a couple gigs and last night I tried again with the main laptop and it was worse than ever
The main problem is when I work on Hoster while somebody is singing it often stutters and jumps so I started adding people songs in between singers which was better but painful that I have to do that.
But even then - when I am singing and nobody is on the laptop it sporadically jumps as well.
After about an hour I switched back to the old laptop to get through the rest of the night.
Do you think possibly it is the laptop? How do I find what maybe happening in the background to make it problematic when I run Hoster? I am not really a tech person so no idea how to check that painfully. The laptop wasn\'t brand new when I got it but it was empty so any issues is what I have created myself.
I guess I should just be happy that I live in NZ and am able to GIG anyway at the moment although that status often changes at a moments notice.
