slow down??? please help

[quade777]

hi, i keep getting slow down when i add more then 5 or 6 sounds to my tunes. i have a beat and thats ok, then a bass and thats ok, but when i start to get somewhere and add a few riffs with a few different sounds running it all starts to slow down on me, and if i click something on the abelton screen it take a long time to respond? can anyone please tell me how to get around this problem? i have closed all the programs i have running to get the maximum usage out of my PC and i do get a little more out of it, but, in the end i still get "slow down" please help,

kind regards steve

Hi Steve,

what is the driver type that you are using?
What are your computers specs?
What is the version of Live that you are using?

Best,

Hi,

please install Live 7.0.10 and let me know if the problem persists:

You can lookup the driver type in Live->preferences->audio->driver type!
