Severity: high
Reproducable:always

2. Click: Menue: File Click: Open Recent / Live 8 Demo.als
3: Scrub: FireOne Controller Button left and right real quick in time line track view

Result: Audio destortion. Processing power above 150%

Side note: This might be very well just an issue with the processor capabilities.
Might be set to as designed.

Hello, Kai,

the processor load seems rather excessive, and i would expect
this not to be larger that 50%.
It is not on similar hardware i checked.

Just to be sure, you were using the document titled
'New in Live 8' which is referenced from the lesson ?

Could you please recheck if that problem persists in a recent beta ?

If it does, i will try to have this checked on exactly your hardware, if possible.

Also, there is a known deficiency that the sweep through the
song time is not throttled by the speed with which audio files
can be loaded from disk so that there is the disk overload "D"
and silence during the sweep. (Same happens when sweeping through
the arrangement by dragging the bar counter of the transport
"Arrangement position" with the mouse)
These also may unfortunately lead to cracks.


Thanks for the report and help,

Ingo
