Track details:
-approx 20 tracks
-everything is either audio or frozen
-no clips are flagged as being in RAM
-only working on two tracks with Melodyne pluggin. If I delete one Melodyne I can limp on but even this will eventually crash. Inserting a second and Live will crash my whole PC with the Ableton favorite "not enough memory available", followed by the PC self closing.
-one recent post suggested a XP SP3 update; I have done this today but no joy
-I also updated Meodyne to the latest version
-in the Task Manager, Live gets to about 1.3Gb
-although this example mentions Melodyne, I have had similar issues with even more basic projects where the culprit has turned out to be having 4 Drum Racks loaded; freezing the Drum Racks has fixed things.
This Memory issue is getting extremely frustrating. I keep thinking "it will be resolved in the next release" but if anything, it gets worst. The track Im working on needed to be finished this weekend; I have put in about 20 hours but probably done 5 hours worth of work. this track is now affectively 20 x 4 minute WAVs and 1 pluggin.
Have Ableton acknowledged this is a bug yet? All I can find in the forums are questions about setups and offers to fix the project if it is posted to Ableton. This is great but what we all need is a statement "yes, we know this is a bug and it is getting our attention". Without this commitment, it will never be fixed...
Sorry for the negative post but musicians should not have to wrestle with their tools. I long miss the days when I first switched to Live from Cubase because of Live's speed of use; today Live is as frustrating to me as Cubase was back in 2000..
hey ho..
