GJM - check you do not have audio clips set to "complex" mode - that uses 10x the CPU

I only went dual core about 6 months ago - until then I have run every version of Live on an Athlon 2200 laptop with quite good results - mostly with a FW410 sound card - FW will definitely be better than the USB1 interface - yours should cream my old computer

but as the others have said, up your buffer size - I change it around all the time depending on what I'm doing and dont usually go below 512 if I dont need to - I prefer the CPU overhead and 512 is usually close enough latency wise

you should be getting much better results - but I think the buffer has a lot to do with it

even with my new machine if I have a really heavy project going I will up it to 1024 - even more if it's really big and I dont need to worry about latency, which I usually dont when editing etc

Hi Forge. I just had a look through the manual and could not find a reference to 'modes' with reference to audio clips. Can you point me to where this setting would be checked? Thanks.

it'd be under WARP.

read a bit, try each one, steer clear from complex. set your favorite as the default in the preferences.

in the clip view "WARP" modes - other options are beats, tones etc..
