Technical help please:
Computer
Windows 11
I9 13900k
128gb DDR5
1x2gb and 2x1gb NVMe
Babyface proFS
Ableton live (10)
128 buffer
44.1khz sample rate
24 bit depth
Absolute dog performance from Kontak7, can’t even load a single instance of session strings 2 without issues.
The problem:
I’ve set up kontakt so that expression is on the mod wheel. The minute I automate that, the CPU spikes and causes a grainy distortion. Normal play is fine, but if I automate that parameter, I’m getting awful awful performance.
Babyface ASIO says 0/0 errors and I will try adjusting the buffer size however before I resort to that, I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas, because it doesn’t seem like a buffer issue and I want to keep real-time performance as I have live recording still to do.
The PC is relatively top teir, I’ve tried forcing ableton to run on performance cores only via processor affinity and this had sadly no effect.
Again, normal performance and cpu ticks at 15%. The minute it’s asked to chance velocity layers and I automate mod1 it goes crazy. Shutting down and restarting seems to help briefly but it will always go to distortion eventually and ONLY on the automated sections. Drawing a straight line vertically seems fine but the min it’s asked to ramp up or down, the cpu seems to stress.
It’s driven me absolutely NUTS on my session today. It’s a fresh install as well, pretty much the first time I’m using it.
User error? Suggestions?
