MP3 Playback FREEZING = BAD

Post by kabuki » Tue Nov 29, 2005 3:38 pm

First time with any serious problems with Live...

Live is now intermittenly Freezing (locking up, not quitting, unable to force-quit with key-command) when MP3s are played.

I cleared the Cache. Still no worky.

Anyone else have this happen?

my system is not freezing but when 2 or more mp3's are being played and one of them is looping, there is a 'pop' at the beggining of each loop. I have tried this with several tracks and loop points, always setting the markers at the 0 axis and still usually have the same problem.
I am finding Live almost useless for when I want to do live mash-up dj sets. Very dissapointing.

I figgured it out: MP3 playback likes having CAcHE turned "ON". No wonder it kept buggin out...

Diagnosis: User error...


As for the popping, turn up your latency a bit...
