- Dec 03, 2014 I would like to hear about your routine with using Traktor and your windows machine - I nearly always have an issue with Traktor crashing mid performance, am using Traktor Pro 2.6.8, and Windows 8.1 on an I5 processor with 8gb ram, so dont think the laptop ability is the issue here! Many thanks for any help you can provide here.
- Apr 19, 2016 I too purchased a Surface Pro 3 a while ago and attempted to work with professional audio software on it and it turned out not so pretty I use Ableton, Serato & Traktor on a Surface Pro 3 w i5, mostly the later 2 though for a while until things failed too often.

- Windows 10, Surface Pro, Traktor Pro 2 I have the first generation Surface Pro, and I downloaded the Traktor Pro 2 demo to test it out on my Surface. I also have the demo on my desktop, but have no issues with it on Windows 10.
- Oct 27, 2014 surface pro 3 for DJing? So I would like to purchase a new laptop for DJing because honestly I am beginning to get tired of my shitty hp pavilion laptop. I am torn between the MS surface pro 3 and the macbook air. Tru, I was able to run traktor pro on my surface pro 1, although was using a hercules rmx controller, idk if that has any bearing.
Laptop: microsoft surface go (pentium cpu 4415y @1.60 ghz) windows 10 home. Hardware: traktor dj controller s4 mk2, insignia 7-port usb 2.0 hub-black, usb type c adapter. Software: traktor pro 3, version 3.2.0. The only solution is to turn off and back on the dj controller, but that stops the music. Is there any solution to this problem.
I just wanted to ask if someone here has any experience with using a MS Surface Pro 2 or 3 as sort of laptop replacement for DJing. Im really tempted to buy one but still thats lots of money for me.
I think that this tablet-pc would be so cool to DJ with, eventhough a bit overpriced. Core i5 (i7 in the pro 3 I think), 8GB Ram, fast SSD as storage medium … Sounds great to me – and this in such a compact package! Maybe it woud not make much sense when using a SX like I do because the controller is already so big that it does not matter that much how big the computer is and maybe the screen is too small to actually run Serato properly (dont know the resolution of the screens … ), but thats really what Im asking for.So has anyone here used one of these and could loose a few words on its performance and such in a DJ environment? – Would be really helpful 😀
Yes you can use the Surface Pro 3 with Serato DJ and the Pioneer DDJ SX. YouTube has a few videos demonstrating this.
I would LOVE to DJ with Traktor running on a Surface Pro. Laptops just don’t like DJ booths. My only concern would be running the audio interface into a USB hub instead of the computer itself, but if the latency is agreeable it makes perfect sense to do it.
Take a look at this video by DJ TLM
Very informative, and thorough review of using a surface pro and serato to DJ.
IMO the fact that the screen is so small really detracts from using it as your laptop replacement, as you’ll be using the touch screen to select tracks (unless you get the SP1 but I don’t know what prices are like, probably expensive because Pioneer)
ask him questions and he’ll reply too.
Cheers

Get a desktop experience or view presentations on the big screen by connecting your Surface to an external display—or even multiple displays.
Sometimes bigger is better. That is especially true when it comes to the display you’re using to present work to a roomful of clients!
With the Surface family of devices, it’s easy to connect to an external display, such as a TV, monitor, or projector. All you need is the right adapter or cable and the Mini DisplayPort on your Surface.
Connecting to a single display
If you are connecting to a monitor with a DisplayPort, simply connect it to your Surface using a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.
For a display such as a HDTV or projector, you may need a Mini DisplayPort adapter. For example, a TV with an HDMI port will require a HDMI cable and an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable.
Once you’re plugged in, that’s it—you’re done! Your Surface screen should appear on the external display.

To change monitor options, such as extending your screen across both your external display and Surface display, open the Action Center on your Surface by swiping left from the right side of the Surface screen and tapping the Project tab.

Install Traktor Pro 2
The easiest way to connect a Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, or Surface Book to two monitors is with a Microsoft Surface Dock.
In addition to allowing you to transform your Surface into a desktop PC by plugging in the Dock’s SurfaceConnect cable, the Dock has two Mini DisplayPort ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.0 ports, and an audio output.

To connect two monitors, simply plug each of them into the Mini DisplayPort on the Dock with a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.
Once connected, choose what to display on each screen by opening the Action Center and tapping the Project tab to bring up monitor options.
