Say im running a couple of z3tas, couple of predators, battery, maybe 2 SIRs on return tracks, also a UAD-1 loaded at about 70%
Ill be gettin a reading of around 25% on Ableton's CPU meter in the top right hand corner
Now i know thats a fair bit of stuff, but if its only showing 25% or so, why do i get a few pops and crackles etc...?
Or is that meter not accurate at all, altho it seems to be the same as XPs task manager
Ive got a 2.67ghz dual core PC, 2gb ram, WD 320g hd, XP SP2 and and E-MU 1212M with latency set to 10ms
Can anyone give their limits in Live, if its a case that ive just hit my CPU limit then i'll freeze tracks, but could my soundcard be playing into this
Thanks all :D |

The problem is probably with your audio buffer.
You can simply increase the buffer in your preferences -> audio -> buffer size. Play around with the values.
Or you use an ASIO driver which has no disadvantages known to me. In preferences -> audio select driver type "ASIO", then select your audio device.
If your soundcard doesnt provide ASIO drivers, you can just download "ASIO4All" here: http://www.asio4all.com/ ... then select the ASIO4All driver in the options of Live, just like I explained above. |

well thats what you will have to do is increase your buffer... when im working on a song i just increase it to the max and when i have to record some stuff i bring it down to 2ms, record and then bring it up again. |
