Re: plugins creating lots of undo actions

Can you be more specific about which plug ins you’re seeing this with? Thx for your reply Tarekith, most recently I notice that with Serum, there is pitch bend and mod wheel data in the midi, and each time there is a bend or mod wheel change , it generates hundreds of undo actions. iZotope "RX...

plugins creating lots of undo actions

hi, why are certain plugins creating lots of actions from parameters changing on them from auto functions or something, making the undo function unusable ? i've noticed this with a variety of plugins over the years and recently it's really annoying as i'm doing a lot of rapid fire work and a bunch o...

Re: live 11 crashing all the time

Hey, i did get some more stability by turning of ALL 3rd party plugins and turning them on again, forcing live to do a full re-scan. Also when I get crashes or I can't open a file sometimes disabling 3rd pparty plugins on startup (hold down option), opening the project, then restarting with plugins ...

Re: I was thinking of getting a Launch XL from Novation

OP, you can assign any knob to any parameter you want that is midi assignable. This functionality is there out of the box. There's no "8 knob limitation" if I understand what you mean, any knob can be assigned to any control. Enjoy!

Re: Latency

The main factors that affect latency are buffer size, sample rate, and plugins that introduce their own latency.

Recording multiple channels at a time and only a few shouldn't affect latency.

I recommend getting a single 8 channel interface for your needs.

Re: Ableton hangs forever when I try to open large project, but can create, save and perform with it(!)

Hey, Are you using a lot of 3rd party plugins ? Can you open the project if you disable 3rd party plugins on load (hold down option on startup) ? Can you drag and drop the tracks from the Live Set into a blank one successfully ? (Navigate to the .als file in the Browser and expand it) Sometimes thes...

Re: Major Problems With Live 11

Hi, After I disabled all 3rd party plugins and re-enabled them, forcing Live to do the full re-scan of all my plugins (takes a while), it's a lot more stable now. FWIW The challenge with that is that when you open projects that use 3rd party plugins (it could be very high depending on project), you...

Re: Audio crackles with none of the routine solutions

The fact you say it starts out fine then gets progressively worse makes me think maybe your computer is overheating. Can you get Intel PowerGadget, wait for the issue to happen and see if your clock speed is normal? I'll give that a try this afternoon and get back to you with the results. I have no...

Re: 32000 sample rate FLAC vs. MP3

Oh my gosh, there's a lot of confusion in this thread. You should never submit an MP3 to a distributor for any reason, ever. There are many technical reasons for this. Confirm that you're exporting 16bit, 44,100khz files. Are they still over 200mb? If your distributor doesn't accept files more than ...

Re: Ableton restarts in arrangement view

You are probably not clicking fast enough so it interprets that as another click in the same place. It thinks you're holding down the cursor so it plays again at that point after 1 bar elapses. (the default time quantization.) If there is some critical reason you can't be having this happen you can ...

Re: Audio interface and CPU Load

No, audio interfaces do not significantly affect the CPU load. Plugin load, sample rate, and buffer size are the main factors that affect CPU load. And usually the RTL introduced by an interface isn't the bottleneck to latency either, it's plugins that introduce their own latency. Turn on Delay Comp...

Re: Major Problems With Live 11

this is a mess. I spend about half my workday every day cajoling it into loading projects by restarting and remaking live sets by dragging tracks one by one because it crashes all the time on every plugin I own. Support tells me they can't do anything bc 3rd party plugins are causing the crashes. W...
