I've compiled a list of the most common mistakes I've seen people make with VDJ.
1. Not dedicating a machine for DJ use.
2. Running asio, wdm latencys greater then the processor can handle
3. Overloading usb devices
4. Making major system changes just before an event
5. Not making sure drivers and o/s are current
6. Not having backup
7. Not reading the forums, or user guide
8. Not asking for help before posting complaints
9. Not making a backup of your install file
10. Not keeping serial numbers in a safe place

are you talking about the buffersize or the bitrate?
and how do I know that my processor can't handle it?

If you are getting clicks and pops in your audio output chances are you are running too fast for the hardware.

12. I haven't bought a 1:1 transformer (or a ground loop remover) in order to isolate the system from ground loops.

14. My browser freezes
Well yes it's normal you only have one folder with 100 000 songs inside. You have time to take a coffee during the listing of all the files in the folder ;-)

How about people that
1. Have a machine dedicated for DJ use.
2. Do not have to worry about asio because they do not use tcv and are not video disc jockeys.
3. Have more than 3 powred usb devices to connected to powered usb hubs because vdj supports these devices.
4. Do not make major system changes just before an event...or is installing a vdj update a major system change?
5. Makes sure drivers and o/s are current.
6. Have backup options.
7. Makes a daily habit of reading the forums and "user guide"
8. Asks for help before posting complaints....or is posting your experience a complaint?
9.Making a backup of your install file
10.keeping serial numbers in a safe place
11.Just wants vdj to be the Alpha and Omega of his/her dj rig. Beats their chest and say LOOK AT ME! I Use VDJ

13. Thinking that automix means you can leave the booth for more time than it takes to scoot to a restroom, find a girl with her own kneepads, or go fight with a customer who's girl DID bring her own kneepads.

my brother bought himself a mac, but we make sure he washes his hands afterward.
