To avoid crackling, popping sound and distortion, you should optimize your Windows computer for DJing.
If it feels like your Windows computer is slow for DJing, you should try making the following changes:
1) Switch off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® wireless technology and any other network connections on your computer before a DJ performance.
Network connections consume CPU resources and may cause crackling sounds in the music. Leaving your computer’s Wi-Fi receiver switched on is the most dangerous setting for DJing, since each time the computer’s Wi-Fi receiver detects another Wi-Fi source, the computer’s CPU resources drop by 50%: if someone on the street has a smartphone with Wi-Fi switched on, your computer detects this Wi-Fi source, scans it, and this Wi-Fi identification process consumes up to 50% of the computer’s CPU resources, possibly resulting in unwanted crackling sounds.
2) Disable the Windows preset designed to save power on USB ports.
This preset is enabled by default: this may cause crackling in the sound, and could even result in the DJ controller losing its connection with your computer.
