After about a day and a half of work, it's finally here: The extra DJ computer from DJ TRAXX has been permanently replaced. The ASUS UL30A from 2009, which my mother used to have, was unfortunately too light for this purpose (power consumption 40W at 19VDC), but it was a nice laptop, especially for office applications. Because it's not compatible with Windows 11 and too light for DJ applications, it no longer serves our needs and is for the next owner. The replacement, a Toshiba Satellite L300 from 2008, is suitable because it's more powerful (power consumption 74W at 19VDC). This one belonged to my sister years ago, but she switched to iOS (Apple), so it sat unused for years. This PC is also not compatible with Windows 11, but fortunately, the CPU is 64-bit compatible, allowing the latest version of MI### to be downloaded. This is way better as, in my experience, the beat detection is completely flawless, which is important for being well IN THE MIX. On Friday, Windows 7 32-bit was replaced with Windows 10 64-bit, after which MI### 2.5.3 was installed. Finally, an error in the display resolution surfaced, which was resolved this morning. The cause turned out to be a missing driver for the GPU. With this extra DJ computer, DJ TRAXX is now completely ready for the new year, and weeks earlier than expected.
