Graphics Processor: My MacBook Pro has two graphics cards and and automatic switching setting for optimizing graphics performance between. CPU use isn't that high but it is crackling. Didn't have this issue with the Beta. IMac Retina 5K Late 2015 4GHz Core i7. 32GB Ram 1876 ghz 2048. The UI's of both SP and Ableton add to CPU strain, so it may help to minimize SP and/or Ableton while recording. On Mac laptops with two.
Hi,I recently bought an Akai APC 25 and decided to explore Ableton Lite 9 a little more. However, it seems that although my computer meets all the requirements, it can hardly do anything with Ableton. For instance, if I use one of the preset sounds (say, African Bars) it immediately chews up 35/45% of CPU capacity. and if I add a couple of effects, it quickly 'chokes', with crackling sounds, etc.
I have tried reinstalling the OS, and I've also tried the usual 'reduce CPU usage' tips I've seen online. Nothing seems to work. I'm pretty sure there must something wrong with my CPU, as I guess that such simple operations are not supposed to take up so much CPU usage - I'm not even using dozens of pre-recorded scenes, as I've seen people doing on YouTube.Ableton Cpu Spikes
Can anyone help?Thanks in advance
