r/Serato

To start, I use Serato DJ Pro on an HP Omnibook X Flip.

Hello everyone, recently I got a Rev 7 off eBay. And I'm trying to practice with it. But I'm encountering a major stutter issue. The issues arise whenever I try to scroll through my library or even when I scratch sometimes. For context, the other day I went to an open deck and played my Rev 7 and had no stuttering when scrolling or scratching. Granted, I was simply scrolling to the next song, so not very far. But now when I try to scroll down my list, it stutters. Both in the software and audibly.

I have raised the buffer size to the highest. I don't use a flash drive; all my music is internal. I have dropped my graphics, my display refresh rate, changed my jog wheel display mode, changed my platter torque to low, and tried playing on both my laptop speakers and an external speaker. Restarted my laptop and Serato. But nothing seems to work; if anyone can lend a hand, I'd be very grateful.

New Changes

• ‘All Crate’ search (either via the CTRL + F keyboard shortcut or clicking the “All” button) now uses the same columns and sort order as the All Crate when Custom Crate Columns is enabled, rather than the crate you are currently in.
• Improved first downbeat detection when using Fixed Beat Grid mode.
• Improved library search speed on large libraries, so results now keep up with typing.
• Improved library responsiveness on Windows when selecting, searching, sorting and switching crates, particularly with an HDD or slow SATA SSD drive.
