Ableton Forum

hej everybody,

I have a problem with ableton as a rewire slave with logic:

ableton is filled with 4 instruments (all sampler-based, from the legacy EIC2). the logic-project is mixed with audiounit-instruments and real recordings. the problem is that ableton is not able to playback without hiccups. the disk overload sign on the upper right side is constantly blinking while logic's harddisk metering isn't showing anything (I mean there is no single spike!). does anybody know a workaround or a solution??

my setup: mbp 2,5ghz i5, 4gb ram, 120gb ssd samsung 840 evo, live 9.1.4 32bit,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm having the exact same issue with Studio One v4. Anybody been in this situation before?

Any time I use a Sampler / Simpler instrument that accesses samples or whatnot, I get a hard disk overload at every note on message played from Studio One going to Ableton

Studio One rewire master
Ableton 10 rewire slave
Ableton 10 being used as an instrument in SO
Audio running back to Studio One

I've tested it on different computers (mac laptop, mac desktop), interfaces, buffer settings, different settings in Studio One regarding monitoring and low latency modes. Always an overload at every note on. I have also tested different sample locations. Tested it on the same disk as ableton, tested it with instruments located on an external SSD (through USB3)

CPU usage seems fine and playing virtual instruments in Ableton works great.

There's something about playing sample base instruments over Rewire that causes a Hard Disk Overload. the same patches do not overload when played in Ableton directly (even if it is a Rewire slave).

Thoughts?

I was able to work around it by setting my tracks in Ableton to Monitor: In instead of Monitor: Auto. No idea why. E-mailed ableton to get more information.

Since this is clearly not a very common workflow, I figure I'll post an update here in case anyone is searching for a workaround to this problem at a later date.
