I'm a first time user in Ableton. I actually received a free copy years ago when I purchased the AKAI MPD24, but at the time I'd been using Pro Tools since college; Formerly trained on PT. I've worked with literately all the top DAW's; Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Sonar, etc...So I'm truly experienced and educated in how things work. Below I'm going to do my best in describing my issue in full and I'll attach as much info as I can to clear as many questions back and forth. - Thank You
Issue - Latency Issues
When I first installed the program I went through the standard setups; Installing equipment, audio device, etc... When I went to test using a VST [NI Massive, NI Kontakt] I noticed latency issues, something I hadn't experienced since my FL Studio days. I went through and moved slider options around to best tackle the latency issue without corrupting the sound. Needless to say I received no positive results. I would get high latency in notes, and then they would hang. I would have to press [STOP] to release the note(s), and they would be in such a delay. Then today, just before logging on to the forums to post this thread I noticed everything was working. But after so long the notes began to hang again. And only one note. It wouldn't move in progression as I hit other keys. I noticed the CPU Usage was going up, but it still didn't change when it got back down to 2%. Below I've listed my audio drivers + snapshots of my settings.
Audio Drivers
Driver
- No Audio
- MME/DirectX
- Line 1/2 (M-Audio Mobile Pre) DX

I had the 'breakthrough success' today with the ASIO > ASIO4ALL v2, but then the CPU usage rose and I experienced the hanging note. I reopened to try again and I had no luck. The note would again hang. The CPU usage goes as high as 7%, but drops back down to 2%.
