In recent years I've become aware of the collect all and save function to save the frustration of locating missing media files.... However, I have some projects which I created a few years back before I was aware of the importance of collect all and save. I've gone through my mbp's, 1 TB SSD and an ...

If it's only happening on-stage, power issues could be the culprit. On-stage power is often glitchy and problematic, and power issues can cause all kinds of weird stuff like this. Having a power conditioner in your live performance rack and making sure everything runs off that would be a possible s...

there is an excellent guide about live Mac prep here: https://qlab.app/docs/v4/general/preparing-your-mac/ Thanks for this - this looks really useful. I don't need to download anything? That's just for Q Lab users is it? Is it just a case of working through the list and going into Terminal and manu...

Hi there My mbp was connected toi the internet in the studio but I made sure it was disconnected from any wifi at venues. No externals, it's just a 1TB internal ssd. There's about 50 gig spare. One of the reasons for disconnecting the internet was to stop it trying to communicate with Icloud which ...

This sounds far more like your processor is busy doing something and can't get around to launching the next scene for a moment. The question in my mind is what's in each of your scenes? It's entirely possible if you're using MIDI with some of the instruments it's trying to load the instrument plugi...

out of curiosity is your laptop connected to the internet when it's in the studio? do you use Time Machine? and any external drives? Hi there Thanks for getting back. My mbp is usually connected to the net in the studio but I recently disconnected it as it was continually trying to upload/download ...

"my understanding is that the SMS can also affect SSDs: https://www.lifewire.com/manage-mac-sud ... ms-2260756" Many thanks for this info I've read this article and it makes perfect sense - could be vibrations in a gig. One of my tracks is a dub reggae bass line and that may have been caus...

Hi there Thanks for your replies. Is the sudden motion senser only relevant to spinning hard drives? I have an SSD so would this still be worth looking into?

The ABL 3 is rendered as audio I forgot to say. No MIDI synths at all - just the MIDI going to and and audio coming back from the Roland TB 03

Hi there

Thanks for your replies.

Is the sudden motion senser only relevant to spinning hard drives? I have an SSD so would this still be worth looking into?

Many thanks

Thanks for this - it's all new on me all this. Is that to do with movements or temperature?

Forgot to sign, the mac is elevated a foot off the ground on a Gorilla brand laptop stand.

Thanks

Hi there Thanks for the reply. No it's a 1TB SSD - had it put in a year ago. The CPU in Live is always around 10 percent (it's all audio stems) and I don't recall it shooting up when I had the problem. I was wondering about this....is there anything in a live setting that may influence performance.....
