Strange CPU Spikes (When Switching Pages On Original Launchpad)
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2020 6:43 am
I am out of ideas and checked every forum entry on the subject and cannot for the life of me figure out a strange issue I noticed recently.
I recently got a laptop that is to me a massive upgrade. It's an i5 core 2.8 ghz 16 gb ram comp which is significantly faster than my old dual core one that I used to use for doing live electronic music/DJ sets using Ableton 8.4.2
After installing all my drivers/software everything seems to be working as it always has except for one glaring thing. When I switch pages on my original launchpad mk1 with my custom live set open the CPU usage jumps up dramatically from a solid only 10%-15% to over 200% causing the sound to glitch and delay. As I perform back to back DJ sets with friends, perfect sync is a must so this will render the whole setup useless. Is there anything I kind do to fix this? I've done every possible windows optimization guide I can find for this sort of thing. My much weaker machine could do all this with no problem though I was using XP still on that while this one is running Windows 10. I assumed this would be no problem but hopefully there is a solution out there. The problem only seems to occur when I'm running Ableton using an MBox2 with it's own ASIO drivers. I ran the same live set with ASIO4ALL drivers and it works without any hiccups.
Don't have any place or anyone else to turn to. Thanks so much for your help!
