I have been running Ableton 10 on a Sony laptop PC Win 10 i-7 1.90 GHz 64-bit with 8.00 GB RAM and a SSD. That ran pretty good for the last year, but I recently noticed the CPU usage was at 90%, and peaking to 100 when it started skipping on some more complex songs.
I upgraded to a Win 10 Dell Desktop I-7 3.4GHz 16GB RAM and a Hard Drive.
The performance is way better, with CPU load at 40%.
The only problem is that some of my songs skip. I updated the Scarlett 2i2 drivers, changed to High performance Power settings.
Updated all drivers and everything else listed as performance improvements on the Ableton site.
That finally seems to have solved the problem, but I am surprised that it is so difficult to make it work, since I have a big increase in PC power.
The Sony laptop never missed a beat until the CPU was maxed at 100%. This Dell has been a nightmare to make it work.
Is the problem the Hard Drive? I am considering buying a SSD for this computer. Would that make a huge difference?
Run Win 10 on the HDD, and Ableton on the SSD. Would that make a vast improvement?
I noticed that quite a few people on here have SSD, is that a game changer for Ableton???
Thanks for any input, LarI've recently installed Live 8 suite onto my macbook and was wondering if storing my own sample library on an external hard drive will be a problem.
I've only got 50gb left on my macbook so I dont know whether this is a good idea as the sample library is likely to grow.
Lives library has been installed on the macbook. Could it be an idea to relocate this to the external drive as I havent installed EIC2 or session drums yet and I know they are enormous size wise?
