Ableton Forum

On large sessions, all plugins take 10 seconds to load – even factory audio effects and new samples in drum rack cells.

Right now I'm on a pretty big session but it's running at only 20% on my CPU at 512 buffer. So there's no reason it should be doing this.

My computer is a Mac with i7 4790k (4.0 Ghz), 32 GB RAM... it's pretty beastly. I don't think this ever happened before Live v10.

Anyone else experiencing this?

just curious, are you on a hackintosh?

I had the same trouble a short while ago on my MB pro, doing a reset fixed it.

If you haven't done a reset before make sure you read and understand everything in the article.

Maybe

I don't have the issue on new sessions though.

This worked! Thank you so much.

Good stuff!

Update: the issue started happening again shortly after (a few hours). I thought this was clearly a sign of the index database slowing things down, but my Ableton application on an SSD and I tried not loading most of my samples into the sidebar in Ableton so it wouldn't index, and it still happens. Not sure.

I've discovered that it only happens on MIDI tracks, and when Push 2 is enabled! Turning it off in the Control Surfaces fixes the problem immediately.

Ableton is on the case.

Can't believe the problem was right in front of me, literally. But out of my entire setup, the last thing I expected to break Live was its own hardware.
