Computer freezes when Rendering to Disk

It seems everytime(9 times) I have been trying to render a particular Abelton file to disk, the file stops at 51% and the software or computer freezes. What's the deal with this? Can anyone provide suggestions? I want to export this to a wav file. Is 24bit, 4800 sample rate, and 177.1.1 legnth song too big?

Hi weaveofkev,

4.0.3
It seems that if I take off several plugins... the file will render to disk. Of course I would rather keep what I had originally, instead of settling for less.

Does it matter which ones you take off? Maybe it's a problem with Live rendering to disk while using certain plugs? Which plugs are you using, and which ones are you taking off? I'd like to give it a try if I can...

I was using other VST plugins but decided to stick with Ableton'sn to be safe.
I am still having the problems though. Ableton's reverb plug-in seems to suck up the CPU. If I take that off I have a better chance of rendering to disk. The more is take away from the song the better chance I have to render. That makes me sad.

Hi weaveofkev,
do you have a Live set (only with Ableton effects) where you always get these render problem? I asked because what we need here to fix is to get it reproducible.

Hi weaveofkev,
do you think you can make a saved as self-contained Live set with a size of some MB so you could send it to us? Or are the used audio files in your Live set really large?
regards,
Alex
