Serato Scratch Live Usb Dropouts
Thats good news.
So it sounds like the external drive is causing the issue.
-- This could be for a number of reasons.
1. It may spin to slow for audio / video performance.
-- This means Serato cant access files fast enough from the drive.
-- Your CPU will be working extremely hard to look through the drive.
-- This would result in USB dropouts / freezes / crashes.
2. It may be the way the files are organised on the drive.
-- If files have been organised by iTunes folders EG 'Artist>Album>Tune>Tune.mp3'
-- Then Serato (and other audio applications) can find it hard to access the files quick enough.
-- This results in the same USB dropouts / freezes / crashes.
3. It may be the thunderbolt connection.
-- Can you try connecting the drive via USB instead?
-- I still think you will have issues (but this is worth checking before buying a new drive)
My Advice.
1. I would advise a smaller external drive.
-- Something around 500GBs thats designed for audio / visual performance.
-- www.wdc.com
-- Use this drive ONLY for music files.
-- Keep files organised well.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask :)
Thanks.

While only being an incremental update, Serato 1.7.2 has come out of beta and brings all manner of goodies to the tables. Yosemite support is front and centre, along with MIDI out so that your external controllers can do more than just sit there all dark.
Sep 04, 2015 VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I aim to have my USB Buffer Size (Latency) slider set all the way to the left for maximum responsiveness for scratching. I’m currently using Scratch Live. Serato DJ Intro processes audio data in small chunks. When smaller chunks are used, the movement of the platter is translated into audio more often, which results in a lower overall system latency. Topic: NUMARK VIRTUAL VINYL OR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE? This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information. I like this product because Serato is wired to the mixer so I won't have to deal with USB dropouts. It also does videos but with me being a broke ass college student.there is not a chance in hell.

Nov 23, 2010 The always busy team at Serato has once again released a new build of Scratch Live (2.2) So whats new? Well we have a long list.

There’s more than that, and here’s the full rundown from Serato HQ:
Dec 17, 2015 Timecode works as good as on 8.1 or 7, maybe even better. I was able to run on 0.7ms latency (okay, my CPU was running red in Traktor, but there were no dropouts or strange sounds like i had on Win7). For normal use I change to 2.7ms. More than stable. Imo Traktor runs smoother than on previous Win. Every DJ who worries about Win10, give it a try.

The reason for this is so that it's easier for you to find the sounds you need when working on a song in Garageband and searching for loops in the loop browser.Pretty cool eh? Download samples to garageband.

Maintenance and Bug Fixes
Serato Scratch Live Versions
Serato DJ 1.7.2 also includes a large amount of maintenance and a huge number of bug fixes, continuing the unparalleled level of stability and performance that Serato software is renowned for.
Some examples of the bug fixes are:
- We’ve implemented a workaround for an issue that users reported with DVS hardware on Mac OS X. This issue would firstly cause an audible dropout, then the control vinyl or CDs would respond slowly when controlling the software. The workaround means that the vinyl or CD latency does not occur.
- Short audible dropouts on mac not resolved by USB buffer.
- Crash when connecting to firewire soundcards.

Serato Scratch Live 2.5
1.7.2? Feels more like a 1.8 to me. The MIDI out is huge for a lot of people, and will perhaps attract more people to the arcane and ever-changing task of mapping secondary controllers. Perhaps this is another step to a fuller mapping experience within Serato DJ.
The one feature that marks 1.7.2 as the “can you all just ditch Scratch Live already?” is Sticker Lock. This is the scratch friendly former easter egg that lets you line up your vinyl sticker with cue points easily.
Serato Scratch Live Usb Dropouts Free
The other biggie is support for Serato Remote 1.2. This brings more features to Apple’s iOS devices, but we’ll cover that in the next story. I would recommend reading the above list though as some of the smaller glossed-over details could well be major draws to some people.
