I need to vent. Its not a matter of skill, karma will literally NOT LET me make a mix longer than 55 minutes. I was recording a mix the other night and my White Label decides to start to buzz, so I stop recording. Pick it up today and its fine, so I give it another go. Guess what? The computer restarts. For no reason I wish I could've kicked the plug out of the wall or something so it at least would have been my fault and I wouldn't be reminded that karma has kicked me in the nutsack yet again. Oh yeah, I nearly threw my discman accross the room when the thing started to skip as I was in the middle of a transition, nothing pisses me off more than fucked up electronics I paid good money for. Now I can see why a DJ at Ultra 6 lit his CDJ1000 on fire because it was skipping.

If I had CDJ1000s I wouldn't set em on fire either, not unless I was Sasha and had money coming out of my ass.

Computers don't restart "for no reason."

Check PSU and RAM, maybe driver conflicts.

You were using a discman to DJ?

Yep - this is really strange. Playing with a discman is just touching the crossfader...

Absolutely, the DJ has nothing to do with unstable operation system istalled on his computer...

the power supply and ram may also lead to random restarts as well. so can a mobo w/ a poped capacitor. But it's still can be the os.
