Sounds like you need to tweak your buffer settings.

Hello

This is a commun problem to people new to Live.

You have to go to your Live Preferences (Mac: Live-Preferences PC: File-Preferences)

Choose the Audio tab
In the Latency section, you can change your Buffer Size, try changing this to aprox 70 Samples and press Apply or Enter
Now, in the Test section (below) turn the Test Tone ON
If this sounds quirky and glitchy, you should turn up your Buffer Size until the sound is clear and continuos.
The Buffer Size where there are no longer glitchy sounds is the minimum buffer size for your system at the CPU usage which is indicated below (50% by default).
You can spot your CPU-usage percentage at the upper right corner of your Live-main-window.

I hope you understood my reply.

Happy Living!
