Using exact same setup, Live 11 is murdering my computer (and making my hair gray fast!) and crashing repeatedly on launch. I have a few 3rd party plugins but these were recommended by some big producers. I deleted these but it seems to have got worse. There are some projects which I cannot launch at all (they crash every time I try to launch which is making me worry they could be unable to retrieve & work lost).
Setup:
HP Envy 360x (28GB free on the hard drive)
ASIO sound card
8GB RAM (6GB usable which is weird but after reading a lot of producer feedback said would be sufficient).
I read that putting sound library & projects on an external hard drive (just got a 2TB Samsung T5) makes Ableton lightning fast but this has not happened.
I have lost about 2 weeks of production trying to work this out, spent 3 hours on the phone with tech support to optimize my laptop, took forever to install Live 11 due to lack of info from Ableton+ weird error messages & got one delayed reply from Ableton saying it was laptop memory (now fixed) and maybe 3rd party plugins (now deleted). Their response times are long so looking for help from the community. Need to get this fixed asap so I can do what any producer should be able to with their DAW after investing a lot in Suite.
Can anyone help (crossing fingers & toes!) ?
