[solution] weird spikey behavior in Ableton Live and SooperLooper rendered my rig useless for a time.
hey all,
the other day, in the middle of a tour for Phil Kline's Zippo Songs, all of a sudden all my sound files in LIve started lagging as if CPU was at 90%. And SL was experiencing all sorts of dropouts and engine shutoffs.
after troubleshooting my BUTT off for six hours, thinking 'hard drive', and 'audio interface' and 'firewire cables', I decided to resort to my old hardware solution of an Oberheim and a DL-4 going through my Orville for that luscious reverb.
First of all, that was incredible to start with. I hadn't used hardware exclusively for about 3 years, boy was it an eye-opener just to go back, and it was simply very very enjoyable.
Next, I had a great experience with Ableton getting back to me within one business day (this was on the weekend), with the solution:
Hello,
I guess you have your airport active - apple´s latest airport update
causes CPU spikes. The problem should
vanish if you turn off your airport.
Best,
C. Kleine
It's the most recent airport update. just turned off my airport, problem solved. SOOOO... if anyone else experiences this phenomenon, I hope this shortcuts your process and frustration.
I violated my own rule again, DON'T INSTALL SYSTEM SOFTWARE (or anything else for that matter) IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOUR, LOL.
All Best to All...
