Ableton Forum

Thanks, 2be.

Could be useful for people who are running very stable systems to post up their hardware setups for us to have a look at. Nuendo forums used to have a recommended specs thread. Obviously there are then the complications of possible conflicts with plugins or other software, but still. Some hardware seems to work better.

Running stable here on:

Win7 32 bit
Asus M487TD USB3
AMD Phenom x 6 1055T
Corsair Ram
ATI 4350 Video Card
Profire 2626
Pad Kontrol
Oxygen 49

My crashes/problems with live have all been user error pretty much:
1/ System overheating as I had a dodgy fan intermitently crahsed sets
2/ Going over my ram limit and not realizing making it crash
3/ DFH Superior not properly authorized equalled crashes on sets. (Authorized with my internet plugged in equals a different challenge from having wireless internet unplugged)
4/ Strange CPU spiking and glitching - turned off Turbo CPU in bios and overclocked instead. Sweetness : )
5/ Exception - Z3TA crashes when doing "shift/tab" with z3ta interface open
6/ Wierd one - Latin Percussion is causing huge zipper noises and cpu spike when I press stop (from a recorded/playback state only This is on a big set with Kontakt and Kore loaded.
