hilarious intro, that’s exactly where i was with it! 😹working on a massive project that’s been glitching terribly 😖 this video helped drop my cpu substantially + i can finally get back in my flow! thanks 🙏🏾✨
Thank you sir! The most helpful point for me was probably the group EQ part, where in I also automated the 'device on' segment so that the effects and someof the heavier plugins like Swam and Omnisphere in my set don't take up too much cpu space. Plus exporting the audio files is also an effective way to save space I noticed something which I'll like to add - while performing with the band, I switched from the Arrangement view to the Session view since it saves on a bit of graphic space that my cpu was using!
I use a 2013 Macbook Pro and ever since 2015 with newer plugins being more and more CPU intensive i've had to freeze tracks more with each project. But it seems a lot worse in Live 11. For instance, running a drum VST like Drumforge Savior or Bergstrand (2 amazing sounding drum VSTs) will take up minimum 40% of CPU in Live VS 10% in Reaper. Both with 512 sample buffer size. It's the same thing for modern guitar amp plugins, like those from Neural DSP and STL Tones, which will take about 20% CPU each in Live VS 5-7% in Reaper, with a 128 sample buffer size.
Just bought neural DSP archetype rabea and it sends cpu up to 114 if it’s the only plug-in I’m using. I’ve tried on 2 PCs with the same issue so it’s not my PC :/ I’m just going to run cubase free trial and buy that instead..
You can freeze tracks that are muted or if it's not changing while it's playing (i.e. midi input). You can freeze tracks instead of making them low quality. Also you should change your project settings to be 44.1/48kHz with 16-bit audio, since you are doing extra processing that no one can physically hear (especially since you are are hearing raw audio, there is no bittrate reduction). It is not possible to hesr sounds above 20kHz, and the vast vast majority of people cannot hear more than 16-17kHz
What should I do if the Ableton has never lagged or crashed, but now it just started lagging and crashing very hard, not even allowing to record a voice track?
In my case I know I need a new MacBook Pro for the only 2 cores to run My new generation VST's Acb tech & so on..so looking for the new M1 chip sets but jusr the ports limitations in Mac chassis to me..maybe 2015 mid is the choice.
what happened to Ableton Live? it was trending in the industry since 10 years a lot of friends i know having the same issues when they updated to Live 11
Hello, thank you for this video but I come to you because I unfortunately have a problem with Live 11 that I cannot resolve. I'm running on a MAC Intel i7 16 GB of RAM and 512 SD and I recently had to download free plugins, and since then there is an unexplained CPU overload every time I launch a project in Live 11 (plus a project composed mainly of audio loops created in Maschine 2 that I generally use as plugins for my beats, but I'm used to doing heavier sessions than that I've always managed, in fact it's even my workflow , I even did an update of the mac but nothing, so I uninstalled all the free plugins that I had just downloaded, I have the impression in the CPU view that my mac is working hard in an unexplained way, I am therefore obliged to abandon live 11 the DAW according to my heart to fall back on another Daw in which there is not as much CPU overload, I don't know if you understand a little of what is happening to me, it's to say if you see what is happening because I understand absolutely nothing about it except that I suspect of having caught a Trojan horse (bitcoin) but I try to launch cleanmymac but it does not see anything, so if you can explain to me a little what is happening...please help me
Don't know, used a i7 2600k with 32GB ram and a clean Windows 10 LTSC, everything optimized, all crap removed and performing great. Stuff is more than 12 years old and doesn't cause any trouble. Now on a 7900x AMD and this thing is insane stupid fast, again on Win10 LTSC and everything clean, right configured.
how much space should there be on my computer 256 ssd the remaining space is 29 gb on my computer. If I install my plugins on external ssd, can my problem be solved if I empty the computer?
thx for the video, i just dont understand how ableton work.... i have often cpu above 150%.... i have a amd ryzen 4600H, 6 core/12 thread, 3.0Ghz when i use ableton, my computer use "only" 30% of the whole cpu, ableton use 20%, but i have 70% cpu that are not use... maybe ableton is not multithreaded with amd cpu
You shouldn't have to do any of that I never touched anything in ableton you pc or laptop is old and if you up grade from windows 7 to windows 10 your new up grade is running old programs that don't work on windows 10 and using up resources you gonna have to find them and uninstall them also you gonna have to remove windows 10 bloatware like kitana, all Xbox app, Skype etc. You shouldn't have to adjust ableton at all .
Hi, thanks for your input. Correct, try to avoid anything away from the DAW that might slow down the computer. Nevertheless, with larger projects, your PC may reach its CPU limits. These tips will help you finish the project anyway.
Thanks for your tip, but are confusing and useless ...Do you have porblems with your CPU in Ableton live? so upgrade to a new and better computer. Next install Bitwig.
Buying a new computer is, of course, always the very best solution. But not everyone can afford a new computer right away, and sometimes you still want to finish the project. Implementing these tips can help you do that. Thanks for looking and your input :)
