Live is heavy on CPU in Windows xp
Switch off Active Desktop
Hi,
- If you haven't allready done this, switch off Active Desktop.
- Switch off windows swapfile, you got enough memory by far, 768MB.
- Incresse sample buffer of ASIO driver, yes this will rais latency, but will also lower CPU use. Try to find the right balance of, a just exceptable latency versus CPU usage.
This all could help you to
Enjoy the music!

CPU usage in xp
Hi Frank
i appreciate your advice.
i did all of that plus after my initial post i killed some Windows unnecessary services running on the bakground, as a result imanaged to drop
CPU usage down to 22% ,big win,but 22% steel seems to me quite high for blank project.i am
just going to ask Tech support if they tested live on XP.
thanks for responding

idle CPU
Hi,
My Mac, Dual 450MHz, 384MB has an idle of 14% on a blank song. Remember that Live is heavy on CPU and the machine is about 2 years old now.
Some optimizing could be done, a new machine will help.
Hope Techsupp got some answers for you.
