| What you need to do is install Real Player, Kazaa, and install free emoticons and ringtones on your computer. |

Hey guys, I'm running Windows Vista w/ 8gb RAM and an AMD 2.60gHz Phenom II P650 Dual-Core Processor.
Ableton is hanging up with 2 instances of Nexus Running w/ eq's on both. And then two instances of Sylenth w/ a compressors running on both plus some basic (Ableton) eq.
I also have two separate channels for my kick drums which haven't been processed yet and a limiter on the master. There's nothing in the returns yet.
So, is that enough to cause the hang-ups or did I re-install all my vst's and ableton incorrectly?
The reason I ask is because I was under the impression Ableton allows for 64-bit VST'and I'm running a 64-bit system. I just reformatted my PC and I think I installed 32 bit everything.. Is that possible? |

you're the one that suggested that turning down my speakers would assist in solving the problem. My "volume = processing power" thing was just saying what you were suggesting.. |
Wat? Where did I suggest this?
Ryan, I'm not trying to give you but you sound like you don't really have a clue. Volume has absolutely nothing to do to with CPU power and I have no idea how you could have possibly inferred that from anything ever written on this forum.
Here's how to fix your issues:
1 - Dump Vista like a girlfriend that just told you she has the clap. Don't argue, don't try to work with it. Just cut your losses and do a full wipe and reformat with win7.
2 - After complete re-install, go to the driver pages of your PC's component manufacturers (motherboard, cpu, etc). AMD need the correct chipset drivers installed to get true performance out of it. Don't use anything that came on a disk.
3 - Go to m-audio site and get the latest drivers for your soundcard. use the asio driver and set the buffer to 512. Go in to BIOS and disable onboard sound, save and exit.
4 - Install all you audio software. Don't install any cracked for the time being. It' the only way you'll truly be able to tell whether it's a software issue.
5 - Stop thinking it's a heat issue. Unless you're producing audio in a busy restaurant kitchen or the middle of the sahara, the chances of it being heat related are close to zero.
6 - report back here. |

| you may have to teach yourself how to render as you go to save cpu power making music in real time with a cpu hog like nexus explains why you are running into trouble. |

You have latency set to 5000? LOL
On my old ty studio computer i had it on 128 and everything was smooth. Now I have it on 64.
But yah, if you want to make music - step 1 - either upgrade to win7 or downgrade to xp. you dont use vista forvmusic, and im pretty sure its been said on these forums many times. |
I'm actually using windows 7 and I double checked the latency.. right now its 1264 samples (output) |

and I apologize for saying Vista.. I have no clue why I did that.. I'm actually running Windows 7 64bit..
but I got in last night and started a project from scratch using only Sylenth and I got up to like 12 channels with fx and was still at 30%. So it appears as though Nexus sucks, and a computer running hot is no good for music production.. |

So, wrong info to start with, followed by a problem that is really common knowledge that Nexus is a sack of ?
oh and...

Unless your CPU heatsink is failing, or the fans aren't working, heat will not affect performance to any degree that would become a major problem. It's more likely the million background processes you have running which is likely given your basic understanding of computer systems. |
