">Talking of laptops, if you are using Live 4.1 watch out for a bug
after
about two hours of play, cursor goes jerky followed by the sound -
serious memory paging problem. We've switched back to 4.0.4 as we could
get this problem to repeat."
cheers for posting that mr dust.
I thought it was some weird latency thing - have you told them btw?
Yeah, we've sent them the log files - did you know everything you do is
logged?
also - ever had latency issues with echo indigo dj card? something
funny
going on with mine, using waaaayy too much cpu.
Never had a problem with the card, I know Live 4.1.1 tells fibs about
CPU usage. And it has serious memory paging problems. We've switch back
down to 4.0.4 on Friday and had no problems. Open Task Manager to see
what is really happening and ensure you are booting with just what you
need, turn everything off. Another tip is to turn the volume on the
computer right up and set the volume in Live to around 6, stops a lot
of distortion on big systems and gives you somewhere to go with the
gains. We always pre-amp these days.
We also load as much as we can into Ram these days and trim everything
so we aren't carrying extra "stuff" we aren't going to use. We also
keep on file running in a dead channel, the stop the hard disk winding
down and the app from stopping and starting.
Where is your machine "spiking" Alex? What are you doing to make it use
loads of CPU?
