Live 7.0.5 problems..? Please post Your opinions here...

pepezabala · Post by **pepezabala** » Tue May 06, 2008 6:27 am

I had bad crackles at around 45% CPU during a live-concert last friday. But then again I had reactivision, neuromixer (visuals), osculator (WII remote)and a megaset with various resampling channels going.
I will reduce the load and test again next friday on the next concert. we will paly at the CCCB in Barcelona, together with Martin Kaltenbrunner and his reactable, and with Markus Popp/Oval. I am looking forward to this great show (and if it crackles then this will be declared my new sound!).

No probs here (PC). From what I've been reading, it looks like it's mostly Mac peeps complaining...

to be honest, I have a lot of chrashes with 7.05 (and also with 7.03) so far. I am still investigating. I am on PC (Quadcore). Imposcar is not useable at all (1.0.3). Remote Zero SL causes problems..deinstalled it...

I am a little frustrated right now, I use Live since version 3, but never had this kind of problems before. As long as your work only with a few loops and Ableton Instruments...no problem. But if I work on a bigger set, with different VST or several Drumracks and ,for example, want to change the drumrack, Live quit with the "serious problem occure" window...

I am still investigating...

Just to add:

My audio interface is a MOTU Ultralight with newest drivers

Window XP SP2

hey pepe -

what sound card are you using? ive been noticing crackles on my otherwise-very-stable v.6..0.10, depending on what soundcard i use. maybe its not the software..

motu ultralite. during rehearsal all went well. but during rehearsal i didn't make visuals with a livecam, and reactivision with the built in cam and even more stuff, like writing messages to the audience in a text editor that was on the screen ...

ah - theres always something i forget to check in rehearsals / soundcheck that mess things up during live shows!

by the way - let me know if you're doing any shows with the reactivision in barcelona. ill be there for 3 weeks in june and would love to check it out.

I noticed crashes when dusplicating armed midi-tracks under certain conditions. Since then I un-arm the tracks before duplicating or moving them, and had no further crash.

At the moment we have no dates for June in Barcelona, but that might change. We had something for Berlin but that has been canceled!

Drop me a PM when you come to BCN ... and check out what's going on at the NIUduring that time.

.5 much better than .3 for me

Only problem is sluggish behaviour after i leave it open for some hours, and sometimes when changing track routings.

Every DAW I have ever used (Cubase, Sonar, Acid, Reason, Logic and LIVE) and know of gets sluggish if you leave it turned on for hours, I think it's a computer issue in general rather than a specific Live problem. I always find it best to backup, shutdown, go make a cup of tea and do a restart every 4 hours or so for best performance. Even just saving your .als file and quitting and reopening Live has a positive effect usually after a period of time.

Track routings - this is less common a trigger, I seem to be OK though. I know that changing samplerates or bit depth in Cubase sometimes brings a freeze or a slowdown for me.

djgroovy · Post by **djgroovy** » Sun May 11, 2008 9:58 am

Yeah, but i don't turn off my computer that often and generally i leave Live open from one day to the next, and i find that some versions behave sluggish more than others.

No biggie, it's only for 20 seconds or so after i press play, then it seems to re-sync itself.

No major issues with 7.05.

The best release since 6.10 for me.

It has only frozen once during startup, but it seems to be Automap related.

(PC, XP, bcr 2000, sl 37, virus Ti keyboard, rme multiface)

7.05; I'm loving it.

No problem so far with 7.05 here on pc, didn't try on my mac.

7.03 was running nearly fine too

dm · Post by dm » Sun May 11, 2008 1:14 pm

7.0.5 is running ok, but i still get occasional distortion/drop-outs when using the crossfader. this has been present in all verions of live 7 so far. it's hard to recreate the problem though, so i haven't sent a live set to ableton to check. usually with big sets with reaktor plugs. never happened with live 6.
