Yes (If it was a simple software issue that would be amazing)
The main issues are:
Unusually high CPU usage in Ableton when running not much more than the basics
A very strange delayed latency issue that appears randomly, Basically I will have Live open with a very simple template and I will be working with my hardware synths and drum machines etc all I am doing is running audio through one channel of Live with no software changes not messing around with Live at all just simply running audio and the longer I have Live open while messing with hardware the longer the latency gets…I have tried the Ableton forums and a few different things but to no avail.
and it runs slower than it should overall. If this was not my work computer (I work as a sound designer) and it was only for music production I wouldn’t be too worried.
Here are some screenshots that may give some more insight honestly maybe I just have something set up stupid:
My audio interface is the: Focusrite Saffire Pro24
For controllers I have:
Novation remote SL zero (For mixer, panning, transport etc)
Novation launchpad
My template consists of:
Two stereo channels
One for the Octatrack (I have all of my hardware running though the OT as an Aux send on my mixer)
One stereo channel is the direct out from my mixer where all of the hardware audio goes in when I’m not using the OT as a master FX unit.
One grouped set of tracks for the Analog four (not at all exceeding the amount of tracks allowed in overbridge)
One grouped set of tracks for the Analog RYTM (Again not at all exceeding the amount of tracks allowed in overbridge)
One stereo channel for an internal feedback loop for sampling audio from direct sources in my computer (Youtube etc)
Although the dedicated Bass station 2 channel is shown I no longer use that because I ran out of USB ports so my current template doesn’t have that but everything else is the same
I have the Wave L2 running on the master channel (I know I know that’s a big no no for recording audio I have it on there for when I am first jamming and coming up with ideas and I take it out when I start actually mixing)
I also had one of the Waves noise reduction plugins at the end of the signal chain too to take out some of the hiss from all the gear but it was pretty CPU intensive so now I only use that now as I am recording individual sounds or tracks then take it out when I’m done.
Even though I have sends set up for drums, Delay, Reverb etc there are no plugins in there until I start mixing.
My midi out from the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 runs a midi chain though all my gear (with the exception of the A4 and AR since that’s handled in Overbridge)
Something of note I have had this issue before using Overbridge so I know it’s not that.
I know my setup might seem kind of weird but it works for the way I work.
So that’s it all laid out, any and all feedback and suggestions would be very welcome I am super appreciative for the help and direction you guys have given me thus far already you guys have been much more helpful and insightful than I’ve found on the Ableton forum and Gearsluz.
