Audio samples constantly re-buffering
Audio samples constantly re-buffering
Hi,
I have an issue mostly when I have audio playing with another application such as iTunes or Chrome. When I go back to Ableton, all of my audio clips need to buffer again, just like when I first load the set. It makes the whole set very slow to respond and takes a lot of time when there's a lot of samples. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Simon

Re: Audio samples constantly re-buffering
maybe you don't have enough RAM to handle everything at once. what are your computer specs?
Re: Audio samples constantly re-buffering
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I doubt that would be the case. There is however a big number of audio samples in that set and quite long ones (it's a DJ set in which I've put a large number of tracks). Just wondering if that happens to anyone else and if there's anything one can do to avoid it...

Re: Audio samples constantly re-buffering
have you tried using Activity Monitor to see what's up?

Are you using MP3s or was files in the project?

MP3s in a folder not enclosed in the project folder.Tarekith wrote:Are you using MP3s or was files in the project?
Re: Audio samples constantly re-buffering
Try making your decoding cache larger, it's in the File Folder preference in Live.
