Ableton Forum

Just as a follow up as far as I can tell it was the mouse interfering for some reason.... I was running a basic MS mouse into it when working on the live set at home and once I just disconnected that now it runs like a champ.

A bit annoying cause I'm stuck using the little nub but I'll get some ...

Alright Ableton crew got back quick this time Thank you...

They are thinking it's still the virus stuff hopefully it is..
That'd make me so happy!!!

uninstalling now fingers crossed

It's a little frustrating I posted in answers

http://www.ableton.com/answers/windows-7-ableton-constantly-crashes

cause I thought I'd try that to see if it would work

to which I got a response that I should contact technical support...

Which I've done I sent a crash dump about 3 weeks ago and ...

I have an audio track of one shots that I'd like to always be visible during a live set.... My view has about 15 audio tracks horizontally. So they usually disappear pretty fast but it'd be nice to be able to always see them because I have them assigned to a bunch of pads and it'd be nice to always ...

That's definitely how you can change its behavior but the options only go from 1 bar to 1/32nd ... It'd be nice if there was a "please don't" option

How?

so I've assigned a knob on my MPK25 to the loop/clip start and a knob ot the loop end/clip end

it moves it around nicely but when a sample is playing the play jumps around which I know it's doing to "keep in synch" but I'd like it to just keep playing :-(

I've turned off every single ...

actually strike that cropping the samples doesn't help. It was set at 2048 when running around with those tests..

So I guess maybe that's a limitation of the laptop still :-/ or an Ableton issue not sure.

But running complex pro on a sample doesn't transpose in real time very well it seems or that ...

Thats fantastic.......
Now opinions on the babyface please.


And the story goes sad from here :-( But eventually happy :-)
And I did find out a few fun things

SO all that ended up doing was taking longer for the system to crash. After about 10 minutes of jamming with the computer generated lead ...

Holy mother of crap that optimizing guide rocks...
I can now run the instrument I was using plus additional samples and the CPU meter in Ableton never gets above 40 %.

PLUS I have the device now running at 256 samples and I don't hear any clicks or pops..
Yay for being able to hit notes on a ...

Perhaps see if you can pick up a faster cpu for your D820. It looks like you should be able to fit a T7600 C2D @ 2.33 Ghz, which would be a pretty significant improvement.
Check this thread on notebookforums.com , then go hunting on ebay.

RME state that a Core 2 Duo is a minimum requirement for ...

And the thing is is that

I don't even need anything that beefy or crazy

I'm not running like a ton of VSTs and effects... What I need it for in Live sets right now is fairly minimal

The most advanced setups I'll have running (which might require a ton of power)
are

1) I just want to play that ...

From your other thread, it looks like your running a pretty low spec cpu in your laptop. 1.66 Ghz 1st gen core duo @ 667 Mhz fsb. I'd say your possibly just hitting the limit of what that machine is capable of doing.

What version of windows are you using? Have you done anything to optimize it for ...

I'm not shure, but I think Dell notebooks and usb audio interfaces don't go well together. maybe it depends, but I have the Vostro 1500 and the babyface and until now it's crap. I can run it for 5 minutes then the dpc latencies stack up and audio goes mad. And if I add maschine or the Launchpad it ...

I'm guessing the answer is that I just need a new laptop but it'd be nice if there was something else :-(

So this has happened with a Mackie Black Onyx and now it's happening with the new RME Babyface I acquired

I'm running a Dell D820

I'm using the
Instrument Rack -> Guitars and plucked -> Lead ...

this is all very educational

Now I have the DPC Latency checker running on my dell lets see what it does in terms of spikes and what not.... :-/
