Triggering a sound while a new is loading = freeze

Post by ohm-ish » Tue Jun 25, 2024 10:37 am

Just got Ableton working again after some years away. Very good

One thing scared me..
Several times, when I loaded a new sound (dragging it to replace other sound), and if I played the midi keyboard while the sound is loading (before it's finished loading) then Ableton completely froze on me and I had to do ctrl+alt+del.

ofc I could just stop playing sounds that isn't done loading yet, some would say..
But I think some attention is needed there

Any thoughts or fixes?

Any hints on version of Live and OS, so others can test this?

Are you dragging the sample into the instrument you are playing, like Simpler or Sampler or are you dragging and dropping it onto another track.

Are they very long samples?

I'm pretty sure it was by dragging into Sampler or drumpad (forgot name). Both of those
Not very long samples, but took a little while to load

Drum rack uses Simpler by default.
Are the samples located in a cloud or slow external drive?
