In this troubleshooting guide we'll cover the most common reasons for these audio issues and how to resolve them. Basically I am trying to achieve what one would with Traktor or other programs, where you can lay down multiple start points within a song.ĥ.If the CPU load is too high and audio can't be buffered within the chosen buffer rate, then crackles, dropouts (gaps in playback), or glitches may occur during playback. It's got hundreds of tracks, each of which is organized with the main track, and then 6-8 duplicates (on average) with the start points moved in (verse 1, chorus, hook, etc.) and also some loops from within the track.

My macbook is one model year old (like his in the interview) with snow leopard and Ableton 8, but I bought it right before the new ones came out.

I saw deadmau5's interview ( ) where he shows his Ableton session view and he has a Huge amount of full tracks lined up as well as various clips, dummy clips, effects, and everything in what looks like one set that he uses live. So I guess my question is: If I import 'housetrack.mp3' into session view, and then duplicate it a few times to have some loops or various starting points set up, is the Ableton set file actually holding duplicate mp3 files in it? or is it just duplicate waveform information? When one imports a song into Ableton's session view, does the Ableton set actually hold the song file within it? or does it just hold information about the mp3 file and pull it from the computer harddrive? I know ableton creates its own file for the mp3 when you import it but I'm unsure of what it's for. I have a question related to this post, not to steal the thread but to clarify: Is there a way to understand if it's still decoding the WAV files? In general, how does one optimize a large set?ĥ. Is the answer more RAM (on either MBP15 or 13)?Ĥ. Aside from removing music, scaling back, is there anything I can do to make this smoother?ģ.

What would it need the memory for? It's not loading that much into RAM and since it's WAV files, why would it need additional drive space?Ģ. I copied the 18GB folder onto this machine and it couldn't even open the set, saying there wasn't enough memory.

It's got out of the box specs, 2GB RAM, a 120GB drive (well, there's 60GB free). Next I tried to open the set on my MBP13 running snow leapard. I am afraid to dup the channels 1,3,5 to 2,4,5 for fear that this thing might blow up! not be smooth when launching new clips when I have a lot going on already - like there's a slight pause - not that it breaks time, but it isn't fluid take forever to load, it still wants to open samples, buffer them as if it's decoding them (which it shouldn't right?)Ģ. I've boosted the latency to 1024 samples.ġ.

I'm running this on an MBP15 with 4GB RAM and a 500GB drive (on Mac 10.5, not snow leapard). The 'export all and save' folder is 18GB. I'm up to about 2,000 scenes and note that all the music is in WAV format - no MP3s. This will enable me to cross fade and jump around between sections of songs, and and not worry about physically moving the clips or switching the A/B down below.

I plan to route each of the channels 1,3,5 to crossfade A - and I plan to duplicate all of the clips on channels 1,3,5 to channels 2,4,6. The colored clips on top are dummy clips (blank) used mainly for making notes. I have about 2,000 scenes and 3 crate channels - note that not all of them contain tracks. Basically I am trying to achieve what one would with Traktor or other programs, where you can lay down multiple start points within a song. I have been working on a DJ set for the past 4 months.
