Freestyler and S2L locking up after a few minutes
Posted: 19 Feb 2020, 15:56
First of all, I am not a DJ or anything related to this industry. I simply was fascinated with self teaching myself lighting via DMX. So, I bought a Lixada USB DMX 512 interface, and few fixtures off Amazon and I simply started playing. Eventually I will be able to give some pointers on figuring out DMX mapping to other newbies, but first I have a slight problem.
I have 2 Laluce Natz 18 LED Pars that I have created a fixture for and they work perfectly. I then enabled S2L using Spotify as my source. I have the Pars in one group and I have S2L configured so that it sends the same random codes to each fixture. Again, this also works perfectly......for about 10 minutes. The Freestyler and S2l will stop responding for a few minutes and the lights with hold the last value. They will then start again, but in a few minutes both Windows will stop responding. It will pick up a few more times, but eventually it simply stops and both Freestyler and S2L are locked up. I have to close and restart. I am running Windows 10 Pro. The laptop is certainly no speed demon as it is a single core machine, older, but has 8G of Ram and a 1TB SSD. It is actually quit fast for its age since I put in the new SSD and doubled the RAM. Also, resources are not taxed at all. Is there a memory leak or issue with S2L I am not aware of? Is there a way to give more priority to the programs? Thanks again!!!
