Ableton Forum

@TLW what did you put in Options.txt? Please share. It's doing my head in. Audio drop outs and skips galore!!!

Hello, thanks for your reply and questions. I'll answer them inline:

Have you tried reinstalling Live?
- No not yet

Do your crashes occur with ALS saved from 8.2?
- I reserved the project as a new project under 10.1.5

Do crashes occur building new sets?
- I haven't built one yet as I have an ...

Hello, recently upgraded form Ableton 8.2 to Ableton 10.15. Ableton 8.2 was super smooth and stable.

Ableton 10 has been a disaster. Crashes (Sent reports), screen is horribly laggy, and audio creates artefacts (1024 buffer on external card!)

Grateful for any help. I am nervous to write any tracks ...

Bumping this through desperation.

Any help, explanation, suggestions gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Hi there,

I contacted Ableton - and after what felt like 3 full moons, they told me to do some things like deleting PReference.cfg, repairing libraries etc.

But nothing seems to help...I also suffer from high latency with my external soundcard (post here: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

Hi all,

When I select my MBP's own internal audio, the total latency drops to 12.5MS

When I select my Audio 2 DJ sound card as output, the latency jumps to 18MS.

I checked the driver type and it is defaulted to Core Audio - there is no way to specify NI's Audio 2 DJ driver.

Apologies for my ...

you know, i have been following this with interest too.
but i finally got to listen to the original song, and... the _same_ exact break is in chapterhouse, 'pearl'.
the consensus there seems to be that's it's just led zeppelin's 'when the levee breaks' sped up 2x.
another possibility.. and the ...

***BUMP***

So no takers on helping me recreate Schoolly D's break on Ableton then :cry:

lunchbreak break recreation!
not too far off i think...

Garboozy! On several levels I am grateful to you - your Karma credit has been topped up.

And I ...

the link is expired so I can't listen to the actual sample - but someone mentioning too much reverb made me think - what you might think is reverb might actually just be the room sound brought forward with compression



Forge: what you describe is what I was clunkily referring to as "airy" in my ...

Firstly, Garboozy (and others) - my sincere thanks for taking the time out to do this - I am at work, but will definitely give this a twirl tonight (I'm excited)

For Oddstep and other who question why I don't sample it - I have and use(d) it a lot in my productions.

But I really just wanted to ...

Hi all,

Just wanted to say a big thanks to the very helpful people here...(special thanks to Dylandigits, Garboozy, Oddstep et al)

My new efforts using your helpful feedback and guidance is attached here: https://www.yousendit.com/download/T2dmZm1abWdLVlZqQTlVag

Grateful for your thoughts...and ...

So, firstly, I just wanted to say many thanks for all of the helpful responses - for me, this break and its variants (even Krome & TIme's Virtual Reality on Subplates...for those who care to remember) just make my face tingle - maybe because I was buzzing at the time on all sorts of serotonin ...

your version is way too reverby, the reverb is both too large and too high in the mix. The reason is you aren't listening objectively - you have focused on what you think is the key facet of that sound and tried to bring it to the fore.

Obviously the original beat used a more boxy kick than the ...

Hi to all the production experts out here - I have a seriously frustrating issue, which I hope you can help out with.

There is an old break beat which I absolutely love, mainly for the style which uses reverb, bass etc. But it is that *airy* warehouse sound which was around in the early 90's and ...
