Ableton Hangs Whenever I Try to Hot-Swap a Sample.

Post by phantom him » Sun May 01, 2022 10:49 am

As per the title. When I have a reasonable size session if I try to hot-swap a sample in a simpler Ableton hangs and crashes. The beachball.

No amount of time will stop the beachball spinning, it just hangs endlessly. Has anyone else experienced this? I tried reinstalling Live, tried deleting my database files, my library is where is should be, I've rescanned, resef preferences... I can't figure it out. Nothing works.

All my stuff is on SSD, no problems with any drives. No other problems with Ableton (except for the weird CPU spikes that wa all seem to get).

Please help, it's completely fing my workflow.

Seems that if I just drag the new sample into simpler there's no problem but it's not an ideal solution.
