Ableton Forum

hi!
I have a small problem that I really want to fix, since it's really annoying.
Ableton is slow to open its OWN instruments & effects but just the first time I try to open them in a session. Then they open normally for as long as Ableton stays open (whole session).

Here's a vid showing what ...

It’s hard to say for sure but that actually sounds about the right for a load time from a hard drive.

Ok so if it's fine then I'm fine too haha. I'll probably run a chkdsk on my SSD since I got some suspects there...

In the amount of memory used. This could be a lot of tracks, or a lot of large instruments. Like orchestral stuff with tons of articulations.


It has around 35 channels. Couple Omnispheres here and there, samples and other stuff playing MIDI too. When played it uses 20/25% CPU maximum.


Are ...

It can take a few seconds to load files for sure. Live loads everything into memory on my relatively small projects, but if for some reason it can’t, then then on demand loading could explain the behavior. How large is this project again?

Large in what terms?

If it's only when you load a preset and not when you switch tracks as you say then that is just how long it takes to load into memory and again, if you have your content on your HDD in a laptop they run pretty slow so it could easily take a few seconds for wavetable as I believe some of the sounds ...

It could be a range of things and i'd do some more controlled tests.

Could be related to your graphics drivers or if you installed the Live content to the HDD instead of the SSD it could just be slow tho once it's been loaded it shouldn't affect the switching of channels.

Does Live compley ...

Do you have an interface? If yes use it! 8O


I'll try with my Focusrite! Didn't have the chance yet since I got the PC from like a week and I already encountered these troubles haha!


Didn't really solve the issue. Wavetable presets, Operator presets cause a 3-5 sec freeze whenever I click ...

Laptops have all sorts of things related to throttling and thermal design that can cause this. There are some good laptop optimization treatises out there (I believe Focusrite has a good one). It could also be software running in the background, anti-virus, etc. or even a BIOS bug or driver issue ...

Hi everybody
I'm new around here but I thought it's the best place to see if what is happening to me is normal or not..
So I just installed Ableton 10.1.5 on my new HP OMEN Laptop and I noticed one thing. Whenever I try to load an instrument from Ableton the loading is around 3 to 10 seconds while I ...
