Live 7 - Audio Drop Out, CPU Spike, Glitch, Judder!

Post by S4racen » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:57 pm

Hi all,

I've read every post with the above searches and none of the solutions has worked for me, I'm running a Quad Mac with 3 gig of ram....

Two channels have signals from a Motu 828 from CDJ's with a couple of channels loaded with audio clips.....

When launching the audio clips for the first time or after a while into the set the sound freezes for a second and the system goes out of sync with the CDJ's.....

Playing back the recorded set the file has no blank sound but it jumps in the signal recorded from the CDJ's........

Should i really be putting up with this on an issue that seems to have been around since Live 5....

Cheers
D

Thanks for the tip, but i'm not sure it'll help as i use the core audio driver....

I don't want this thread to turn into a moan just suggestions for solutions...

I have tried various sample buffer sizes, turning dual core support off, different size of decoding caches, the options.txt file.....

The problem is really most prevalent when i launch a clip from my padKontrol, changing values with my other controller has no effect......

Cheers
