hi

Im working on a project and after about 10 mins the cpu goes from a constant of about 30% to well over 1000% and just freezes / hangs the program...

Im running 6.0.7 on a PC with XP home edition, dual core intel processor (2.4ghz) and 2048 mbs of ram

anyone else experienced this one before?

I've had pretty much the same problem except that the cpu meter immediately jumps to around 70% as soon as live opens with a default set, and then gradually creeps up to over 1000% - in fact, on one occasion I left Live running for around 20 minutes and the cpu peaked around 3700%!!
This has been happening consistently now for about three months thereby rendering the program unusable. The point is that that Live was working absolutely smoothly on system, then for no reason I can ascertain, it decided to start behaving badly. I have of couse contacted support about this but didn't get a particularly useful reply which amounted to "install more ram/upgrade to winXP sp2" No doubt good advice but the program was working fine on my system before so why the sudden change?
I'm perplexed and a little frustrated...

I have the same problem, and when I remove my USB controller and I restart ableton live and I reload the same project the CPU is bellow 100% suddenly, for the same project.

But the point is: I need my USB controller. So the...

Hi,

If you are using live with a rewire device (like reason), rewire writes in one of his logfile continuously the same error. The file grows up every seconde and you CPU increases. If you delete this file, the CPU decrease.

And I don't know why...

I just discovered this for myself after literally months of frustration

I had previously installed a copy of the Reason 4 beta and it turns out that the related rewire.dll was causing the problems. Deleting this from the windows/system32 folder solved the problem - at last
