thanks for all this everyone - has been very helpful.

i disabled most of the ins/outs and that seems to have helped immensely. didnt think about instruments taking up more bandwidth but totally makes sense - might try and bounce some drum machine tracks to samples and see if that helps improvement ...

Hey all,

I'm running Live w/ a MOTU UltraLite in live situations with my band and we have been running in to some slight problems. We have a two midi controllers (padKONTROL and Alesis ControlPad) used to trigger clips, basically whole songs, and occasionally they have seemed to "skip". I assume ...
