Ableton Forum

Hi there!
Got my Push and since it's in studio I'm really feel in it.
So useful, great workflow and well done hardware structure. Setted up with my Maschine works great!
But I've this problem!
I use to trigger my drums and then change single instruments such as kicks, hats, claps etc.
But only issues. The same issue : when I swap single instruments Ableton chrashes every time!
I've tried to unistall Live Intro and it works the first time I reinstalled it. But after the second time crashes everytime I swap with other instruments.
Bit annoying this... I was working also with a friend that owns Suite 9. Same thing, same problem!
Is it a common bug?
Helps? Advices?

I'll bump this thread as the OP already highlighted this problem that I've posted in my thread here:

Does it crash even if you hot swap the drum rack for another drum rack?

This is a big part of my plan but Im just not there yet trying to work Push into my live set......

loading racks is not a problem just swapping samples within the racks from Push. however it can be done from Live of course and then Push will update when it re-selects the track.

Hopefully you submitted a crash report...

Crash report and support request! As if they didn't have enough to deal with!

Further to some contact with support the fault has gone by removing some IAC ports I had set up and also removing my other controller info from the midi prefs (nocturn, launchpad). It's not too big a deal at the moment as I don't have these in the studio at present but when they do arrive I hope they play nice with Push!

For the record I prefer browsing and loading samples from within Live as auditioning is more economic with button pushes and sample preview is much faster than Push as there is no load time.

Yeah swapping out drum sounds in a rack via Push crashes Live every time for me.

I think that this might be related to what I'm experiencing and it makes me wonder if there might be a problem with drum racks and Push:

I group an instrument into a drum rack so that I can use the step sequencer in Push. A little while later, Live's transport control stops working. I press play and the play button becomes highlighted but the measure/beat counter does not move and pressing the stop button does not un-highlight the play button. All the other functions of Live seem to continue working for a while: I can switch between session and arrangement view and piano roll and device view, I can even modify MIDI events on the piano roll. But within a few minutes or if I try to close the Live Set or exit Live, the software aborts and a crash report is generated. I have managed to reproduce this over 10 times in a row. I have rebooted my Mac in between to make sure it was not in a weird state.

I've had this happen while using both Live 9.0.2 and 9.0.4b1.

Running on a 4-core MacPro with 12GB of RAM with OS X 10.8.4, BTW.

Hi, I have this same problem ... is there any solution?

i had the same problem loading samples into a drum rack direct from the push browser (9.04)

i removed all the other devices in the midi preferences and it seems to have cured it.

Having same problem. Solution?

Removing other control surfaces (MIDI/SYNC Tab) should help. Also read posts obove.


Have fun!
