[amo] sudden horrible CPU spikes

my first session in beta 8.12 has become almost unusable due to the CPU meter suddenly building up to 95% and throwing everything into a storm of horrible noise. this will happen while I'm just launching various sequences ; the CPU meter normally reads around 50% and then after 10 or 15 minutes it will suddenly build quickly up to 95 and at that point, any time i launch any scene, it will fly back up to 95 and screw everything up.

the session has less plugins / fx than my typical live7 session, so I don't think i'm doing anything weird. just have Kontakt (one instance with multiple instruments routed to ext. intstruments in live), battery 3, operator, analog, collision (maybe the culprit somehow?), drum racks, and some other native live stuff....14 channels altogether.

anyone else experiencing anything like this? It sucks because now I don't know how to finish the song, it'll just keep doing this. i did a bug snapshot and sent it along to ableton.

solved it -- it was Collision.

I froze the collision track and now the CPU isn't spiking any more, things run fine....

so, guess this instrument is still kinda messed up....just one instance was wreaking havoc in my mix ;(

Hi,

Apart from Collision taking quite some CPU, do you still experience problems in beta 17?

Regards,
