Ableton Forum

Just loaded up Ableton with the same song. Now it's working fine? I went from 100%+ latency to 20%. What is causing this?

Alright well I appreciate your time!

It's already crackling at the current level.

Yes, multicore support is on. Changing my buffer size probably won't help much either then, huh. It's currently set to 512 samples.
