DAW: Ableton Live 6, 25 Tracksof them 12 midi (10 Nexus) & (2 SH 201 vst) and 19 audio !!!
Running on Core 2 Duo E6600 with 1 GB ram
I open the project in like 2 minutes or something
Is this normal because of only 1 GB of Ram ?
My pc really breaks my heart when I open this project hehehe
:D |

I had a chance last weekend to play with Reason 4 ona Friend's Laptop and it was Core2Duo 1.8 Ghz with 2 gb Ram .But when I made 3 channels on Thor and pressed play after 2 mins I got a message saying "Your PC is too slow" lool
I wounder what computer Professional musicians use ??
maybe a Nasa PC? |

| wait are you complaining about your original post? 12 midi channels (not flattened) and 19 audio channels... that's freakin awesome! |

| I thought Core 2 Duo makes me use 1000 channels hehehe |

| try defragging the hard drive. thats usually the most common source of a bottleneck |

From my experience especially abletons disk streaming of audio tracks is very very poor. It start skipping stuff when my cpu load is over about 50%, which is just crazy. With other programs I use I can go over 80% and still all will sound as it should...
I like and use ableton regularly, but it seems flawed. It uses more cpu than other applications I use, for the same thing. That's just my experience though. |

i actually left Sonar for ableton because of CPU problems(years ago)... sonar is just a CPU whore. however, i think Ableton has a bug with its CPU meter because mine jumps and skips all over and if i open up my task manager, i see none of the fluctuations that ableton does.... sometimes ableton will read 40% but in task manager i'm upwards of 70% ? how does that make sense |

Because you must have other applications making up the other 30%, ableton only shows its own usage. Of course it could be buggy too...

I have also noticed this, I wish they would fix it since half of what I do is audio:( I think its a problem with their direct from disk programming, maybe their not using enough RAM or something. Anyway, the CPU meter may not be related to the dropouts your hearing, because it might actually be a disk overload problem where your harddisk isn't spinning fast enough. My disks only 4200 RPM so I know ALL about this. |

No. I have a WD Raptor 10000rpm HD and experience some of these issues too when having a fair amount of audio tracks.
