Previewing loops is a lot less responsive in Live 5...

eldar · Post by **eldar** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 10:37 pm

In Live 4 i could click a loop in the browser to preview just milliseconds before the start of a new bar and the loop would start right on time with the next bar.
In Live 5 i have to click a loop in the browser about half a bar before the start of a new one to have it start in time.
Anyone else got this problem?

previewing in quantised according to your global quantisation setting. maybe this is the cause?

I think the main reason is the time needed for decoding the file in the cache folder...

quantisation is "1 bar", same setting in Live 4

the loops are pure wave files, nothing to decode there
stretch mode is "beats", again same in Live 4

i really hope the responsiveness of Live 4 get restored...

Same problem here.

Also previewed samples sound like they have the "fade" switch applied to them which dulls any percussive sounds you may be browsing

not good

Okay,

A bump on this one.

Was messing around with my DJ set using Live 4 last night (Just got a EMU 1616m and it had been set up by the music suppliers within Live 4).

A large part of my set involves flicking the loop marker back and forth within the clip of the track using the CTRL and the up and down arrows - usually 1 or 2 bars at a time.

This works perfectly in Live 4.

I've just loaded Live 5 on my laptop (Top spec laptop DAW - set up by specialist music company) and the same lagging problems are there.

This makes it totally unworkable and is incredibly frustrating.

This is a BUG !

Live 5 is absolutely awesome, but this is a major problem that needs sorting NOW - Come on Abes, get this sorted.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

I noticed this, but I will take it in replace for the new search function. Exactly what live needed. Over the years I have built up about 60 gigs of samples. NOt very organized. Now I can just search and pull up all my vox samples or whatever. This has increased my/your creativity level...NO doubt. I read in the manual that live indexes your drives for the first search and this slows it down. Maybe this has some thing to do with the slow preview.

*bump* (bug or "feature"?)

Just started working on a track in 'arrange' window and having similar problem on playback if I use the cursor to picka playback point.

The audio loops once (seems to be based on global quantise) before playing on.

This is a surely a Bug.

It's making Live 5 unusable to me.

Having to go back to 4.

again, this post is about slow previewing in the BROWSER...
