I have a RME hammerfall 9632 audio card

update

asio 'full duplex driver' seems to work ok

but its unusable with buffer sizes of 2048!!

any ideas

I can record automation from any parameter with the VST being controlled by my Nocturn turned off very smoothly and precisely, with lots of interpolation points. So it seems like it must have something to do with processing, I think?

Edit: I just discovered that this issue only seems to appear when I am using my Firebox as the audio device. When I use my built-in sound device with Asio4All, then I do not get the "choppy" automation. However, back at Live 8.1.3, I could still use the Firebox, and I had no "choppy" automation at all.

I probably sound totally crazy if no one else has this problem, but just in case anyone else experiences it (if there is anyone out there who happens to have the Live 8.2 + Automap + Firebox combination), you are not alone! :D

thanks dude

i have an RME hammerfall card and it doing similar things

only large buffer sizes will sort it out (2048 samples) kind of half a second delay after i play a key on the keyboard

I'm not sure what to do

Novation are usually not very much help
Ableton are fair but not very much help

I might try my card manufacturer

god man it feels like 2011 but still stuff doesn't play together nicely and company don't care

i might sack automap off and use straight midi

my card was a few hundred pounds surely it can't be that?

what did you end up doing in the end?

after running some tests it automap works in live 8.1.3 but not 8.2.2

i'm not sure if i should downgrade

-------

to summarise

automap (any version) and live 8.2 records jerky automation if the plug is set to ON
if its set to OFF it record without jerking(not really a work around but a CLUE)
i tried live 8.1.3 AND IT RECORDED AUTOMATION WITHOUT JERKING


ITS A LIVE PROBLEM
ITS A LIVE PROBLEM
ITS A LIVE PROBLEM
ITS A LIVE PROBLEM



i tried live 8.1.3 AND IT RECORDED AUTOMATION WITHOUT JERKING
live 8.2.2 DOES NOT RECORD WITHOUT JERKING

ALSO IF I TURN THE plugin TO OFF the automation records without jerking


Are you guys going to fix this or do i need to downgrade?

bug is confirmed now

hopefully a fix on the way soon



"thanks for getting back!

I've tested this issue with a Novation Nocturn and can indeed reproduce it. It seems that VST plug-ins are affected only and that the problem has been introduced between Live 8.1.3 and Live 8.1.4.

I will file a bug for our development.


Best Regards and thank for reporting this issue,

haha took 1 year to just reproduce and recognize a bug on cerified products. Fabulous company. It's sure that they begin to use 8.1.4 recently. Be patient with nice staff.

This issue still has not been fixed in the current version of Live! Any news Ableton?
