Ableton Forum

any suggestions on what to do if you have a liveset that keeps crashing ableotn? Anyway to get the info back?

Are you using any VSTs or external effects? I had a similar issue where it kept crashing until I reinstalled a certain VST. Usually Live will automatically attempt to recover the session when you re-open it after a crash.

Sorry I posted here my mistake...

Hi Damos,

to quickly find out if the crash is related to a plug-in, disable any plug-in folders in the file/folder preferences and try to load your set. If it loads then, one of the plug-ins in use is causing a conflict.

thanks it was one of my plugins that was causing the problem.

I'm so tired oh these constant crashes.
last night, I was in a studio session, and it was like lokking for some water in Inferno!!

I'm using Ableton 7.0.14 on Mac os 10.4.11 and I don't understand this situation.
Every 10 minutes, it automatically crashes.

And I don't use any external hardware. Just the computer and Live.

What can I do???

Please help!!! I'm finishing some serious tracks!!!!

Hi Nzamata,

have you tried disabling the plug-ins as suggested above? What do you do before a crash?

Yeah, but I only the Line Plug-Ins.
Dutring the last crash, I was importing some samples into an audio set, in order to warp it et put it in a new NIDI section.

I also tried to disable the plug-ins.
Same crashes.
maybe I need to upgrade some stuff in my computer...
