Ableton Forum

Right after 18 months of using ableton it has decided to fuck up and my projects are falling out of time all over the place. I have always used complex routing solutions but suddenly now, even with 10 audio channels (albeit full stems) and a few plugs ins, it's drifting all over the place and makes it unworkable.

Do we know why this might have occurred I have changed a few settings recently, but nothing more than how the solo works, nothing fundamental to the soundcard, except a new firewire cable.

I have read as much as i can from this forum, i've avoided master channel plug ins and grouping, but it's still happening. Are there any workarounds i'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Find an answer yet? I have the same problem, Im using Lion, I thought maybe Lion was the problem.. One thing thats going completely crazy is the delay compensation changes radically during a live event at which I am playing synths through reason with absynth plugin in ableton running through izotope 4. First I have immediate response, and then as we go through a few songs, Im starting to get a 2 second delay, then 4, then I am having to try to play notes before they happen to compensate for the delay compensation going haywire. But when it gets to 10 seconds, I start having BIG problems. So what I did temporarily that seems to solve the problem so far, is set the channels going to reason to a delay compensation of -947, or just some crazy number before I start going crazy. Now all of a sudden, problem is gone, but will see again this weekend. I can even multitrack record now, when before that also was stuck on some endless delay and wouldn't even start before I force closed Live. I couldn't wait for whatever he hang up was.
