Anyone seen this Drum Rack + multiple rack chains bug?
I am getting clicks/pops in other tracks when using multiple rack chains containing drum racks. It's pretty easy to reproduce in the live set linked below.
Just play the audio clip and one of the blank midi clips, and then duplicate the chain containing the drum rack. Snap crackle pop. Mute the first track (containing the audio clip) and the clicks go away.

I currently depend on a large set with lots of rack chains, so this is a bummer! Anyone have any ideas on a workaround?
Thanks!

Couldn't try this because Live says your alp is corrupt.patrickstinson wrote:I am getting clicks/pops in other tracks when using multiple rack chains containing drum racks. It's pretty easy to reproduce in the live set linked below.

Re: Anyone seen this Drum Rack + multiple rack chains bug?
hi patrick, just tried it. i get the clicks appearing after i've duplicated the chain 9 times, even though the cpu barely pushes 6%.
i'm not sure how grouping drumracks into container racks could be of use, but it's allowed and is buggy so...
have you sent the set to support@ableton.com ?

This becomes a problem pretty fast when using this method to manage all of my songs with Push (I wrote that thread as well):
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=195844
I am currently in a discussion with Ableton support trying to convince them that this is a bug that shouldn't be fixed by increasing buffer size. It doesn't stop happening for me until the latency is too much for live instruments.

Re: Anyone seen this Drum Rack + multiple rack chains bug?
ahh, switching drums for diff songs - that makes sense.
did you send the same project to ableton? considering the Simplers are switched off, the midi clips contain no midi data or automation etc, and only one audio clip is playing, i'd say that's definitely an issue!
increasing the buffer to 512 did nothing to solve the clicks either...

Re: Anyone seen this Drum Rack + multiple rack chains bug?
ableton confirmed that 1 or 2 month ago and said a performance bug. but send it to them, maybe they find more bugs.

garyboozy: Yeah I made that set special to be an easily reproducible example for the bug report.
Evengy: Thanks that's good to know. I posted another topic asking about a known bug list: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=197121, but haven't seen any responses yet. I assume there isn't one...

Evengy: Did Ableton confirm this with you directly via email support request? What was the result? Will they add it to their bug list and get it done 'whenever'? I am having trouble convincing their support that this is not a problem to solve by increasing the buffer size.

yes it was directly via email on 26.06.2013!patrickstinson wrote:Evengy: Did Ableton confirm this with you directly via email support request? What was the result?

german: Ich kann das Problem Deinem Drum Rack Preset reproduzieren.
Das Problem scheint nicht die Größe der Samples sondern deren Menge zu sein. Umso mehr Samples man aus Instrument Racks der Drum Rack Chains löscht, desto besser wird das Verhalten. Der von mir bereits erwähnte Bug ist mittlerweile direkt an der Spitze der Probleme
google translate:
I can reproduce the problem with your drum rack preset.
The problem seems not the size of the samples but to be their amount. The more samples you delete from the instrument drum rack chains, the better the performance. The bug I mentioned earlier is now right at the top of the problems.
-------------------
they will fix it but he couldn´t say when
the guy from ableton reproduced it without any problems so maybe it´s possible that the different departments don´t know what the others are doing (like everywhere ) i hope they fix it with 9.1!

I also have clicks/pops/crackles when using large racks in Live 9, while CPU shows around 15% (I don't have this issue in Live . I also tried increasing the buffer size, but that doesn't help. It happens when I launch clips or change some settings, it is like there are very big spikes in the CPU, but only for a very short period of time. I have an i7 processor / 16gb ram / SSD and CPU meter in Live 9 does not jump either. It must be a bug in Live 9, also since I don't encounter this problem when testing it in Live 8..
