Yesterday everything was fine....today it all went to hell.
The set I was working on yesterday was fairly cpu intensive (3 wavestations and various audio tracks +effects) but it was still within the limit of my computer (about 63-70%). Today however I can't play the song at all. my cpu goees crazy (90-110%) even though I have changed nothing. All other applications have been closed, internet turned off ect...I checked my activity monitor and it tells me the same deal....too much cpu strain!
What is going on? The only difference I can think of is that yesterday my computer had been on for several days...but I rebooted this morning.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas? I really don't want to render all my tracks down to their respective audio because I'm still working on some of the midi patterns.
thanks!
cpu going crazy! please help
This makes no sense at all....the problem is very odd. I just discovered that my arrangement is completely NOT the same arrangement I had before....my vocals track is now appearing in 3 separate tracks that were previously occupied by various other clips. The clips still exist in session view...but my arrangement is shot to hell. In session view the play bar at the top still shows that it should be these various clips (broken lines/different colours) as opposed to one long continuous clip. The reson I didn't notice before was because many of these are duplicates of other tracks with a different pan location.
However, because these are still just audio tracks and the effects and routings are all the same it still doesn't explain the obnoxious cpu usage.
If I have to redo the arrangement that will suck alot..I don't know if I can duplicate it to accompany the guitar lead which originally accompanied the clips.

Update to 4.1.1?
Which version of Live are you running?
I had huge hassles with 4.1 until yesterday, when I downloaded version 4.1.1 which has just become available. It so far appears as if all my problems have disappeared.
If you haven't already, I recommend updating to 4.1.1 and seeing if that fixes the problems.
Good Luck

no luck! this started after I installed 4.1.1
I think it may be a bug with my computer, I have noticed several other problems in live I have not had before either...such as core audio sometimes being turned off on Live startup and failure to recognize my external sound card (just a cheap 1in/1out usb card) untill the program is restarted AND the card has been unplugged and put back in.
I think I may re-install OSX.
Unless of course anyone has some suggestions...
