Ableton Forum

I have a FA101 that I used to use externally, but with all the scary reports about FW Audio cards, I didnt want to take the risk.

Hi Christian,

The output is turned up on every volume slider I can find, including the System Prefs one.

Not entirely Ableton related, but some of you may be able to help.

Turned out to be the 'fairly light' limiters. Had to bounce down the tracks with the plugin on them, then reimport them and delete the original track. That fixed it.

Cheers for the help though guys.

Nothing too heavy, 2 or 3 filters, some limiters, but all pretty lightweight CPU wise.

The plugin buffer is set to 512 which I didnt think was shockingly low.

I have a project that (even when stopped) is just holding 24/25% of the CPU. Is this normal??

MBP 2.4 /4GB 10.5.4 / Live 7.0.9

Not long ago I ran a Live project which had about 60-70 full separated components of tracks. Although these files all play sequentially mixing in and out of each other. I found that Live seemed to really struggle. There were no plugins at all. All of these parts were full 7+ minute long components ...

Search Coolbook on these forums and get it! Will make all the difference.

Was reading through this looking to see if anyone else was having a sync problem with Logic and Live ReWired, and thought I'd try out the Coolbook app.

Haha, I can honestly say that what everyone says is true, and the difference it makes to Live (standone) is absolutely incredible. As one person ...
