Everynight I DJ it stutters and skips at midnight. Really starting to upset me. Is there a bug with the program?

Maybe you got Windows update scheduled at that time or something like that......

It's not a problem with VDJ, as above you've obviously got something scheduled to run at that time - updates, AV, scheduled task and so on.
 
Cool, ill check on it today and see whats up
 


Pretty sure its your anti virus software.
Most all such anti virus softwares are scheduled for weekly scan at midnite, friday or saturday
 
I have this issue with VDJ Pro stuttering at midnight.
This did not used to happen but over the last couple of months, its started to be an embarrasment. I have checked when windows update is scheduled to run and its not midnight, the same for my Kaspersky AV, So what could it be?
The only problem when trying to trouble shoot this is that you only get one go at it per day.
Annoying somewhat......
 
System utilities such as disk defragment or disk clean up can run on a schedule as well and are usually set by default to a certain time right out of the box. Have a look at your system maintenance schedule.
 
For the short term:

Change your clock 12 hours. Debug your issue around 'noon' and party without stuttering at night
 
I Just set the clock back 7 hours, problem done.
 
What you did is a work-around, maybe you don't know what causes it. But like others before me said, its probably your AV program or Windows update. Try to change the time for that and you can use your clock as it's supposed to :)
 
i'm still loking for what ever make it stutter can't seem to find it.
 
Wait a minute.........you think that VDJ decides that it's gonna take a crap at midnight, and it picked you because.........you're a bad boy? Stop it, right now.
 
There are a bunch of processor intensive tasks that run on around midnight (1am Sunday) and some on Friday. Basically Microsoft and other software manufactures think you are asleep at that time so you wont notice any performance decreases if something needs to run on weekly, daily basis. One of the most processor intensive is the WinSAT (Saturday) and the hard drive defrag(Friday). I would reschedule everything to run during the day. Some processes you can just have not run at all.

I had the same issue for a while with my 1st Windows 7 machine. XP had very little running so I never looked.

When I was running timecode sound just get really garbled and sometimes VDJ would hang loading songs. With my NS7 it would stop playing sound and hard lock.



I moved WinSat and other programs to run on Tuesday morning.

Another place to look is the Task Scheduler

This thread got me searching for solutions. I pulled up my task scheduler and found 2 MS tasks and Adobe. Adobe was set to check a 4:40PM, every day, and every hour after that. I changed it to once a day, during certain week days, and only once.
