So I was at a gig last week happily doing my stuff and suddenly my the music cut off :eek:

luckily it was at a school and one of teachers was making an announcement so there was no music actually playing out, so I switched over to a backup and carried on on with that. Took the USB cable out both ends and plugged it back in and after a few go's it was working again... But what went wrong do you think?

I use Traktor Pro on a MacBook Pro with an external Native Instruments Audio Kontrol Sound card which is then routed into my standard mixer. (I simply mix directly on the mixer rather than using a midi controller - less to go wrong and cheaper option!).

The mac showed an error message about USB not connected properly or somthing. Could this be a problem with the sound card, the computer or simply the USB?

What are your thoughts guys and girls? Cheers :) :beer1::beer1:

Simple & cheapest solution first - have you got any other usb cables you could try?
