Hi all,
I have done a couple of live sets using Ableton Live.
I have one coming up, and I've re-exported all my tracks as 24bit 96k, but for some reason I dont understand, they all seem to be 'clicking' when i bring them into ableton and play them? it's like it's struggling? But the computer is very powerful, 3.2GHz 1GB. I am lost for any solution. Anyone have any tips? Am desperate!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
EoN

(In Live, check in options>preferences>audio...) ya might want to increase your audio interface buffer size...and make sure you're using a ASIO driver?

Is ASIO driver better than DirectX/MME?? From memory it wasn't set to ASIO

If your soundcard is ASIO compatible, it is way better than the other two, but make sure you have the latest version of your soundcard's own ASIO drivers installed (check the manufacturer's website), not some generic ones. Using ASIO you should get 5-10 ms latency (how fast the sequencer and plugins respond to your commands). However it's not uncommon that streaming long & large audio files from the harddisk in a project results in clicks and cracks. I have no cures to suggest because I have fortunately so far managed to avoid using disk streaming.

good points, jivamukti~
another option is (depending on just how big and how many audio tracks you have...) you can load audio clips in LIVE into RAM to prevent this sort of clik/pop problem...(clik your "RAM" button in your audio clip's sample properties to load to RAM)
