Ableton live wont run in time plus CPU overload

[crizdee]

Hi,

Running live 5.03 with PT 7.1cs5 Mac 10.4.5 and it just won't run in sync with PT, the live loop is just starting at random and not staring on the beat. I had this problem last time i tried using it, anybody know the fix? i have tried with and without ADC and different HW buffers.

Also i'm getting cpu overload messages

Are you in DJ mode or arrangement mode?

If yr in the dj page, double check where the loop is actually starting. There's a little arrow shape above the graphic of the sample which shows where the sample will start from. If you've accidentally nudged this it can sound like carnage! or brilliant of course.

I've been foxed a couple of times by this.

Only had overloads when using too many RTAs instruments and instruments in Live as well but I put that down to me old fella m'lad G4dual800 suffering twinges.

Hi,

Thanks for replying Alan. I did check the start arrow and it's not that. How do you know if your in DJ mode? and what's the difference and would that cause it??

I can watch the little clock like indicator that indicates the loop starting at the top 12 o.clock and couning round the clock as it plays! only the clock is starting at 3pm and 4pm etc so the loops isn't starting at the top!!

Occasionally it has run in time, but doesn't last long before it starts badly out of sync.

Wierd. Are you running any other rewire applications at the same time?

DJ mode is when the 3 vertical lines (in the top right corner) are highlighted.

Arrange mode is when the horizontal lines are highlighted and the screen page looks like

Hi,

Thanks again for your time Alan, i checked the DJ mode and there are no other rewire apps running!

I have had an Ableton sponsored DJ/user with me this week and he is baffled by this. As stand alone it works flawless every time, but as soon as it is rewired to TP it will trigger the loops badly out of sunc by 1 crotched! the loops will sometimes start at randon points, but mostly the loop will start correct but skip the second edit point and there on be 1 8th of a bar out of sync. occasionally it will work, but will soon start re-triggering again.

I have also tried the Digi edition version 5.05 and the exact same thing.And i did remember to run as standalone first to install the correct rewrire version!!.
I have tried refreshing the start and end points of the loops, with and without ADC with different HW buffer settings, all to no avail

The problem seems to have gotten worse with Live 5.03 and PT7. on Panther, PT6.9 and Live 5, it would occasionlly do this but would eventually correct itself and then stay right.
