GUI freezing for a few seconds when adding tracks and VST

Post by TwistedGenetics » Wed Feb 17, 2016 1:20 pm

Hi

When adding new tracks, vst's or dropping audio Ableton the GUI freezes for a few seconds. Its not really causing any problems as such but is annoying. Is this common or should i be looking into settings on my PC?

Regards,
Jamie

Live will prioritise resources to Audio over GUI, this is to be expected on a lower powered machine... It's when you get audio drop outs that you should start to think about maximising your settings buffer etc.

Happens for maybe half a second for me if I add a track while audio is playing but as long as the GUI doesn't lock up and audio keeps playing smooth it's no real issue.
