CPU overload in Ableton 4

I have a quick question concerning overloading in Ableton. I used to use Reason for everything and my computer never had a prob with overloading. I still use Reason to make all my sounds with the exception of a few plug ins I use in Ableton. Then I bounce the finished sounds to Ableton. I really like to use Ableton for the sequencer and I use some effects in Ableton as well. The problem is I can only seem to get about 10 channels of .wavs to play in Ableton with minimal effects before the CPU starts reading 70% I've set the buffers at every different setting I could think of and it doesn't seem to help that much. I don't have a super computer just a basic home set up for now, 256 memory just the basics. Like I said I've never had this problem with Reason. Could be my processor can't handle reason & Ableton on the same or WTF??
One other quick question. I'm not to familiar with Mac but I was just given a fully operational G3 It has around the same memory as my home computer. But with the Mac I would just use it for music. Should I dump it or keep it? Would there be any diff? seeing all that would be on it is music related. Anyways thanks in advance for any help. :happy2: |

It's probably a problem with your sound drivers/sound card. Download the asio4all ASIO drivers and set ableton to use this driver set (you can change this in the audio options). After that, go into the asio4all setup and increase the buffer setting. This worked wonders for me, as I had the same problem. Increasing the buffer settings a lot will also increase your latency, so when you're using MIDI, you'll notice a delay between when you hit a key and when it registers in ableton (this can be fixed by turning the buffer size back down).
