Hopefully these tricks will help you to get the most out of your Ableton Live experience.This article mentions third party software which is not manufactured or supported by Native Instruments.

Get Rid Of Unnecessary Applicationsįor the PC it’s Ctrl+Alt+Del to enter the task manager, for the Mac it’s Cmd+Option+Esc. Make sure you have the wet knob turned up to 100% on the effect. To save on CPU power, use sends!ĭrop a single effect onto one of Ableton’s Send tracks, and you can instantly send the signal of this effect by simply turning up the send knob on individual tracks.

Some people get into the habit of dropping multiple effects that have similar settings on each of their tracks. The trade off? Higher latency (the lag between playing a sound and hearing it).Īt lower buffer levels your latency should be nearly gone, however, you will experience higher CPU loads, as well as audio dropouts.įinal thought: Find a happy medium where your latency is tolerable, and you are not having constant CPU spikes. Here is a general rule of thumb: Poor CPU performance (stuttering audio) means you should raise the buffer level (512 to 1,024 samples ought to do). However, it is a good idea to have your bit rate set to 24 in Ableton because this will give you more dynamic headroom while mixing/mastering the track.įinal thought: A bad song (poorly mixed, mastered, etc) exported out at 96kHz will not make it noticeably better. Unless you are have a mastering engineer’s set up, keep it at 44.1kHz it saves processing power.Ī consumer level CD-R burned out of iTunes will render at 16 bits and 44.1kHz. It is of this writer’s opinion that if you are mixing and mastering your own music, anything above 44.1kHz is a waste of time. I am just basing this on my humble personal experiences. Stick To The 44.1kHz Sample Rateĭisclaimer: I am not an Audio Engineer. Keep your CPU meter down by simply right clicking the desired track and selecting “Freeze”. I work with Native Instruments Guitar Rig on some tracks, and this thing is a CPU consumption beast. Freeze Tracksįreezing tracks can save you a lot of CPU power. To find out if your computer supports multiple cores and processors in a PC, you can right click on My Computer>Properties, and it will tell you your CPU type.įor Mac users, most modern Macs and MacBooks have multicore processor built it. This allows Live to distribute the CPU load amongst multiple cores and CPUs (if your computer supports it). Go under Options>Preferences, locate the CPU tab and make sure your “Multicore/Multiprocessor” tab is selected. Usually these are a result of not getting the maximum performance out of Ableton Live. Laggy Audio, CPU spikes, the list could go on forever. Making music on a computer has it’s own set of problems we have to deal with.
