Ableton Forum

Hello,



I use a macbook pro, 3.06 GHz intel core duo processor, 8GB RAM 1067 MHz DDR3.



I didn't use to have any problems with my CPU while working in Ableton.In a new project,I could use up to 30 audio tracks,with a LOT of effects,midi tracks and a lot of automations, without any problems.The maximum CPU values i got was 15% and that's it.



For the last couple of days,i use 5 audio tracks with 4 insert effects maximum,without any automations etc and my CPU goes up to 25%-30%. And i start to hear clipping,distorted sounds etc.



I had a 500GB hard drive and it was kinda full (10GB left).I deleted a lot of stuff and now i have 125GB free,but still no changes in Ableton's CPU.



Any suggestions of what it may causing the problem and what could I do?



Thanks in Advance,

Alex

I don't believe the problem comes from your HD. My computer was working perfectly with almost no CPU usage, even using a lot of plug-ins and tracks (just like you). After I instaled the latest version, the same problem is happening here. It seems a serious problem in this new Live version, many people have related that.
