Hi,


My Output Buffer Size in the preferences menu reverts to the default (4096 Samples) every time I go to open Live. Anyone the wiser on how I make the change permanent?


Thanks.

Why would you say obviously? That's not necessarily the case at all. Even if you are talking about instrument plugins only they could be stacked up in racks, for instance. Although yeah that in itself probably wouldn't make much difference to CPU usage.

I was trying to explain how eighty channels ...

I was referring to the RAM with regards to 64bit, mate.

In response to the original post and question posed in the title: Not really...

I just upgraded quite significantly from a Core 2 Quad based machine with 8GB of DDR2 RAM to a Core i7 six core with 32GB of DDR3 RAM. The RAM in the new machine is also running in quad channel configuration, and at ...

Depends what plugins you use.

Mostly "ReFx Nexus", "Lennar Digital - Sylenth" and "ReFX Vanguard" to be honest dude. :P

You can also bounce a set of tracks with heavy plugin usage to a seperate audio track and then switch off all the plugins. you don't have to delete the original tracks.

I ...

it's exactly my type that logs into the forum daily to see if others need help.

Yes. Your initial post on this thread was MOST helpful. :)


you've been registered here for what.. a few months?

lol... What difference does it make in the SLIGHTEST how long I have been a registered member. An ...

I have already checked google for an explanation. I was asking the OP for his input on how this might help MY problem specifically.

If you have nothing worthwhile to contribute then don't bother posting... It's exactly your type that drag the forum community down as a whole.

Hi,


Why is eighty channels too much? The track ain't even finished yet lol! Don't know what to say really... There's plenty of plug-ins running, they each need a channel obviously. Here's the arrangement so far...

Hi,


I'm currently running 8.2.2. on Win 7 32bit. The project I'm working on ATM has around 80 channels running and I'm starting to encounter performance issues...

The audio is beginning to lag/become choppy when playing and Ableton's CPU meter is hitting as high as 120%

Anyway, I want to ...

Hi Palmer,


No mate, it's strictly VSTi's in use...

'Sylenth', 'Nexus', 'Predator' etc. etc.

My guess is, the problem is due to the VST path directory since this will differ between Mac and Windows.

I sincerely hope there is a solution though, as the projects are pretty useless opened elsewhere ...

Hi,


After opening an Ableton project which was originally done on Mac I was horrified to find that all VSTi configuration had been lost!

Any channel running a plug-in was now empty and I had to load the relevant instrument back in one after another (thus defaulting them to their original sounds ...

Hi all,


When saving a project pack and opening it on another computer, all active plug-ins seem to return to default, by this I mean they lose any configuration that was originally made and return to the preset that is used as if you were to open the plug-in as new again.

This is a massive ...

Hmm...


Is there no way to combat this then other than reload every plug-in separately?

Also, most of the channels in question are using the same plug-in (Nexus). Are you aware of any way in which I can open said plug-in and apply it to all of those channels at once? Or does Nexus have to be ...

Hi,


After spending a few days in a friend's studio doing tutorials, I have taken home a copy of the project to work on what I have learned. However, when I open the Live Set at home, any channel that was originally running a VST no longer has this in place and I have to manually re-open the VST in ...

Repaired the library and right enough, problem fixed!

Thanks all!
