Ableton Drumrack in stand alone mode

[Oledole]

Hi!

As i'm having latency problems when a project is getting bigger (even with the latest fastest Mac) with the Ableton Drumrack and i want to play the samples live i'm thinknig if there is a way to use the Ableton Drumrack in stand alone mode? Now i'm running maschine in standalone mode to be able to play the samples live and then when they are recored i open up an instance of mashine in live with that same samples, but Ableton Drumrack is simply so much better than maschine so id like to do the same with Ableton Drumrack.

Is there a way to open an instance of Ableton Drumrack in Max in standalone mode for example? Havent figured out how to do that.. And then after having played the beat with the right samples i could then save that instance of the sampler and then open it up in Live..

Any help appreciated!!

Nope, sorry, it can only be used inside of Live like all of the Live devices.

Open a new blank project. Name it Scratch or Sketch or something.

And then in the Live browser go to the project you’re working on and find the channel that has that drum rack. Drag that drum rack into your new project. Play and record the bit. Save that.

Then go back into your original project and drag the new recorded clips from those Sketch project.

Do you mean a 2020 i9 iMac, MacPro, iMac Pro....? Audio interface? Audio buffer setting? Is this when running Live only or are you running other software at the same time?

with the Ableton Drumrack

Are you using an Ableton preset drum rack or one you've put together yourself? It could be that somewhere in the rack there's a plugin that imposes a high latency because of how long it takes to do its thing.

thanx for the replies! A 2020 Macbook pro with best of everything. Buffer size 64. Live only.
I've made the drumrack myself with many instances of ableton sampler. Not many plugins in the drumrack just a few eqs. But the project is pretty big like 60 channels or so, many UAD plugins etc.

cheers
