So I'm getting into video and I have downloaded the ME demo. When I use my TTM57 with ME, wave forms are choppy (I have a difficult time setting loop in points on the fly) conversely, when I use the VSL demo, everything is smooth as butter (can pretty much max out the settings). I know you have to play around with the preferences in ME to get optimal performance. I've followed all the tips on the forum, but to no avail. Could you shed some light? Thanks...

Have you tried reducing the Quality setting in MixEmergency's preferences?
I've experienced choppy waveforms myself under certain settings (i.e. they look like the stutter breifly every 4 seconds). One thing that can often fix this is to change the refresh rate of your external monitor in the Mac OS System Preferences (e.g. try setting it to something other than 60 Hz - 50 Hz would be good if you have that option).
Let me know how you get on.
Do you have V-sync disabled in VSL? It is possible that your main monitor may be smooth but the picture on your second monitor may exhibit tearing.
Also, what are you using to connect from your computer to your external monitor? Is this the type of monitor that you will be using in your performances?

I remember smooth waveforms. It doesn't mess me up spinning though because you got to LISTEN anyways, those are there just for a reference.
If there is a way to smooth it out though I'm all for it. I run 640x480 dvi-tv composite at 60hz. Pretty sure I can't change the hertz as it wont show up on the tvs correctly. Maybe i could change my laptop monitors refresh rate?? CHECK that, not possible, no option for it.

OSX runs off of my SSD Expresscard 34
It runs GREAT, limited programs installed, all videos on 1tb external.
Overall my system runs great with very few glitches, other than the choppy waveforms.
I don't know what to try and remedy the situation. Anyone??
