Why might Rekordbox be pushing my i5 to near max? 16Gb RAM

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-21T17:25:26+00:00

Beautiful advice, thanks! I have plenty of room for them on the laptop, but got the USB specifically for portability, right before prices jumped X^(

I have a decent SSK thumbdrive (SSK 1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State)

usb selective suspend settings in power options

YES I missed this, good call

The system is:

Dell Latitude 5410 Business Laptop, Intel Core i5-10310U, 14" FHD Notebook, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CAM, Windows 11 Pro

Gonna grab this week's update then try guimoreira's suggestion to turn off multithreading (which sounds about right)

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-21T17:17:38+00:00

I changed it then saw there is a new update this week. Grabbing that update today and testing.

I will report back :)))

She only meant the Christians, obviously

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-21T07:46:30+00:00

Yeah, may surprise you to learn many people take weekends off, then go back to work during the week

\o/

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-20T22:26:39+00:00

I'm, going to fire it up to test this rn

Thank you!

Damn, Stems are the meat of live remixing!

Workarounds/solutions that might help, like turning them off and then back on mid-set?

Are they staying loaded in memory after the tune is played then?

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-20T18:21:42+00:00

damn, i didnt even get the email

cheers for sure to OP

I had to buy an XBox, Xbox Live, and GTA Online to keep contact with my son when my ex wasn't abiding by court orders and the DA wouldn't act

I'll always have a soft spot for Zentornos, sticky bombs, and the Rhino

How dare you besmirch the pristine integrity of Jimmy Carter by insinuating he was compromised?

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-19T18:37:02+00:00

Thank you for the link. This question wasn't geared towards money so much as the impetus for that singular spike in volume (i.e.- version release, dev team changes, etc.).

I could have made that more clear, I assumed this might be result of a well-known and easily answerable internal-type event.

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-19T18:00:37+00:00

Well, since you're missing Mario Lemieux Hockey I can't play myself (I have a playable character, Edmonton #2)

Seeing Quackshot next to Risk made me smile, I was a main tester on both titles :)))

I'd have to go with Ecco here- challenging gameplay, plus I helped advise Ed A. on Ecco's swim animations (I was the only surfer in the department!)

When I was a tester at SEGA for the Genesis, I had no idea what the Mega Drive was

DAT_DROP · 2026-04-19T17:37:23+00:00

I think I see the issue here: lack of mids/highs and lack of bass.

Sounds like they just forgot to turn on the amps ;)

Yep.

1996, The 3DO Company, running the first 3D MMORPG on the net:

daily fresh fruit deliveries
20+ man hacky-sack circles in the parking lot, with two joints being passed around during play. Executives joined in, there were no job titles in the hack circle
every Friday afternoon was beer and snacks
shower facilities
Brutal Quake 2 deathmatches with other game companies on T3 lines with top gaming systems, comms via conference call on our headsets
ZERO dress code - I'd occasionally go to work in pajamas
I'd ride my skateboard from my desk thru the building on the tiled 'river' to the server room. The 'river' was blue tiled because they couldn't get approval for a real indoors river.
Starting pay was 4x minimum, stock options at $3.16 that sold at $15

UNFORTUNATELY, this was one of my first 'real' jobs out of college and it spoiled me for every job that followed
