AMAZING! live 5 dropouts solved in live 6

evoid · Post by **evoid** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:06 am

finally!

the audio dropouts are fixed

just made a movie recording of my old live set wich was giving me dropouts everytime i launched a heavy scene on live 5, and now on live 6 i can run my one hour set in only 30 seconds! (using no launch quantize and pressing the enter key continously)

check it out:

this is THE major feature of live 6 for me: rock solid stability for LIVE use

keeping an eye on this ...

you are running multiple clips in complex mode in that set?

.

this live set is older than complex mode

but maybe some of them are in complex, some updates i've made

this is about dual cpu support, no?

.tm.

i dont understand

this is probably due to the better threading/multi processor support, meaning pure and simply.. live can handle more of what you throw at it... i'm loving performance in the live 6 beta's so far ..

yup... it must be some kind of major improvement in the engine..

with this live set i was loosing my will to play it, just because live 5 randomly did dropouts on scene lauches and clip launches.
i even did a full optimisation of the set, putting every single sample in the same bit rate and the same sample rate... etc etc

but now, all that belongs to the past, i hope eheh

yeah I'm betting it's cause of multicore support. cause of course your computer is a multicore computer yes?

I just made a 35-40 minute live set and I got one or two drop outs during it. kinda scarey cause I'm playing tomorrow. but I'm just trying to prove it still does happen, and it's prolly cause my computer isn't multicore...

mmm... sorry to hear that, Johnisfaster..

that means that the problem isn't totally solved i think... but this problem has some very random behaviours, at least in live 5

BTW, just used live 6 beta yesterday for 5 hours straight, live with a dj friend, with no problems.. no glitches or dropouts

I haven't gigged with 6 yet, but I've done longish rehearsals (2-4 hour sessions) with 6 without any notion of a glitch. These were somewhat complex sets with LOTS of vsti action and Operator all over the place. I wasn't pushing the cpu, but that really isn't a problem in Live 6 - I don't get clicks/pops/distortion until I hit 100%.

could you try playing the same set with "Multicore/processor support" set to off in the preferences?
i'd be curious to know the results

@machinate: i do get glitches at 70%

yeah, I know, most people do... Guess I'm lucky with my chipset or something?

just tried that, the only difference was that the cpu meter oscillated a bit more (18% - 26%) during the slide
