note: i posted this in the DJ booth as well, as both DJs and producers use ableton. i hope it's not too much trouble and the mods don't mind, as i really need help.
just got my new PC, and installed Live 5.0.1 on it, now, i'm getting some weird problems.
i was running Live on my dad's PC, because mine sucked. he's running 256mb of RAM on an Athlon64 XP 1700+. Live ran with no issues whatsoever (took a bit to load tho).
my PC is rocking an Athlon64 X2 DualCore 3600+ with 512mb. Live loads pretty damn quick, and analyzes files quite fast as well. then when i try to play them, the sound itself is a bit 'filtered' (as opposed to when i play the same file in Winamp for example). and i also get a buffer-underrun type sound, even when i have both buffers at full.
all demo tracks/sets play perfectly, and sound perfect. i'm trying to use the tracks i use to spin in Live s i can mess around a bit with a couple of them, and they are the ones giving me trouble.
anyone have any insight? originally, it sounded bad, but since i tried tweaking the buffer settings it's just plain awful.
update: i uninstalled Live5.
friend brought over his copy of Live6. we install.
most of my mp3s won't even play. Live reports them as possibly corrupt. sometimes, it will play a file, and then refuse to do so later. out of the few files that play, some play perfectly, others all filtered as i had previously mentioned.
i tried to narrow down my possibilities, as to constant or variable bitrate, neither of which seem to influence this behavior. anyone?
PLEASE help. |
