Major CPU issues with Ableton Live 10.1.30 and Macbook Pro M1

Post by Chrisjwhittaker » Wed Apr 07, 2021 1:41 pm

Hey guys! Hope you’re all well.

I have an issue with my Ableton Macbook Pro.

So around a month and a half ago I bought a brand new Macbook Pro M1 and installed my Ableton 10 on it.

When I start a project and start to build up a track, the CPU bar in the corner really struggles, to the point when it is clipping and glitching very bad.
I hardly have any 3rd party plug-ins installed currently and the Mac still has over 75% storage available.

I installed CleanMyMac to monitor what is going on. I have found out that when the CPU bar in ableton is at 90% or higher that the CPU load in CleanMyMac is only at a maximum of 40%.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Macbook Pro M1 8GB

Ableton Live 10.1.30

Thank you

M1 Macs aren't yet officialy supported.
But how did you "resolved" your issue?

Hi! I think this is exactly what happened to me in a live performance I had last week. I'm *not* using an M1. Mine is a 15" 2019 MBP.
The glitch and the clipping happened in the midst of my performance with a terribly loud noise. I had to unplug and halt the show.
How did you solve this??
