You should have a secondary machine for general computing operations. Antivirus / security software is one of the biggest culprits of stealing system resources and is not needed as this machine should only be on the internet for recommended PCDJ updates or others relating to your pro audio software. You should only have software installed related to PCDJ and Pro audio use. This means that the machine should not be used for email, internet browsing, word processing, etc. We recommend a DEDICATED machine for PCDJ products.Be prepared to get into the control panel and uninstall anything not driver related in order to utilize that advanced hardware that you just paid good money to use at your shows.

it’s true that todays machines are faster than ever however manufacturers load them up at the factory with plenty of “bloatware” (unnecessary extra software) which is fine for general computing convenience but horrible for pro audio use.

On the flip side, just because you recently purchased the latest and greatest laptop with the fastest processor and most RAM you can find, doesn’t mean that it will perform well for PCDJ right off the shelf.You should expect issues when using a machine meeting minimum system requirements when out at a gig. Minimum system requirements are the bare minimum to simply run and demo the software in a non performance based environment. Be sure that you meet RECOMMENDED system requirements, not minimum system requirements.
