Comment 5 for bug 1431168

@Owen: I'm getting these results using the default latency settings, and my CPU is 2.4ghz dual core with 4gb of memory and onboard graphics. This is not a low spec machine, even if it is old by today's standards. I use a variety of machines and OSs, this result is true for all of them. Yes, they are all older machines. In other words, in my case there is no single system to fix. This is Windows, Linux, old hardware, less old hardware.

Can we avoid revisiting the discussion of old hardware-as-edge-case? If Mixxx is pledged to only work on recent hardware, I think it becomes of questionable use, or useless alltogether, to a significant quantity of users.

I will admit that having upgraded from the *even older* hardware that I used to use, I had stopped fussing over the latency settings. I should definitely revisit tweaking them.

I'm sensitive to your thoughts on popups, I see that it can seem like a slippery slope. While I don't agree that professional and serious users likely don't read, it does become a question of how many popups to include about what issues. I actually thought of these things; this is just the #1 usability issue in my [many] cases at this point. Do Not Generate A Lot Of Waveforms During A Set, basically.

At least can we get a page on the wiki? Something like: "Using Mixxx in a professional setting."
