major slowdown problems with drum rack, live8.1

[mescalin]

anyone getting the same issue i am getting?

The whole session slows to a crawl and same if i save and reload the project

i systematicly have tried deleting all the channels to find the cause, and it's always Drum Rack, i delete it and the set returns to normal performance

also after further mucking around i found i just needed to delete the one kick sample that coincidently i had just replaced before i got the problem. I Undo deleting the kick and funnily enough the problem comes back.

One time this happened Windows blue screened, to lives credit the ui serious dies a horrible death before the sound does

More info:

Windows 7 64 bit, 4GB RAM on a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Quad (yeah yeah i know i'm asking for it by using windows 7)
Live 8.1
Plugins: massive, absynth 5, Kontakt 3, Camel Phat, Camel Space, Simpler, Drum Rack


at least know i've found out what to do when it happens (delete the offending drum rack), but this is a pain as i am a midi person

i get the same thing, but im only using samples, no vst's or instrument's.

this is ridiculous, have you spoken to tech support?

im still waiting

[mescalin]

no i havn't actually

have you at all got drum rack in your default set?

I wonder if it was to do with that

I'm running into the same problem, but when I try to start the beta version it won't let me click start. What's going on with that?
