Ableton Forum

Although Ableton 4.4 works fine alone, when I try and use it as a ReWire slave with Cubase SX 2.2, the Ableton tracks crack and pop constantly. There is a also a high-pitched sound at the beginning of the track. The same thing also happens with Acid Pro 5. I'm using a PC with a 2.8 P4 and a meg of RAM. My audio setup consists of the Yamaha 01X mixer connected to the computer via firewire.

Thanks for your help.

amarx...have you tried contacting ableton or cubase directly?

it would be nice to hear some feedback on this issue if
anyone has any idea what this is all about.

You haven't said if you're using XP with SP2 or not.There are issues with SP2 and some Firewire devices...

Hola,

I had this problem for month but only with "big" projects in Live Rewired to Nuendo in all versions of live. I didn't had these problems with other Rewire applications. Last week I just keep playing with the setting in Nuendo 2 and found the solution.

After I disabled the following option, everything was fine and no more sync errors (Cracks and plops.) with Live.

Device / Device Setup... / VST Multitrack / Expert... / Multi Processing

Turn this off and I can use Live in Nuendo. Maybe this is the solution for Cubase SX also.... Only problem, What's the use of two CPU's in my workstation now?

regards,
Diederick.

I have the problem with high pitch beep, otherwise it works OK with SX 2
