cpu meter getting stuck at %501 and won't reset!

intellijel · Post by **intellijel** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 5:01 pm

I am using ableton live 6.0.5 with a Focusrite Saffire Le (with the latest drivers)
Using an Asus z96js laptop with 1gb ram

running a variety of plugins including some arturia stuff and GRM tools.

Everything runs fine for a while and then at some point the cpu meter will suddenly jump from %35 to 400-500% and then remain stuck.

Disabling then re-enabling the audio card does nothing. I usually have to restart live, sometimes re-start my computer to fix this.

This bug has become far more pominent in 6.0.3 onwards.

What's up?

I had this sympton when I was mucking around in Preferences with the Remote/control serface & automation and stuff (I didn't know what I was doing).

When I turned it all off again, the CPU went back to normal.

hmmm that could be it. I am using a midi feedback trick using midi yoke that allows me to record automation into clips.

I notice that this is far less stable in subsequent releases of version 6.

Also, the major crashes seems to be happening when I use more than one GRM plugin. Not sure if there is some bug with them or they really are using a ton of cpu.

cheers,
