Ableton 9 lagging recently.. Please help!

Post by SnoopWess » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:19 am

Hey,
So recently ableton has started to lag really bad. For example, I'll move a note in the piano roll and it willwnd up moving like 4 seconds later. This is occuring with all functions in live. Please help, I cant even write anymore. This is the most frustrating thihing ever!

I'm using ableton live 9.1.4, windows intel i7, asio driver, 3rd party vsti (massive, z3ta2+, pinnasmio, etc), no other programs are running, and ableton is not clipping or overloading.

Pleas help me. Ive tried everything from disk defrag, disk clean, virus scan, uninstalled programs, overclock.. Nothing helps. The computer seams to run fine other than ableton.. Thanks in advance

That's a tough one. It's possible that it has something to do with the graphics. Also, unless it's an SSD have you defragged lately?
