i do get a lot of dropouts when playing vsts and ableton instruments

Why? WHY

In the meanwhile, L9 works fine

 

... at least you have round natural number of spikes, imagine you had 7 spikes in total

 

why so many people have so many problems. It runs ultra smooth for me. Check your power plan and switch from "balanced" to "maximum performance". Could help.

 

its a desktop with maxium performance power settings

really wonder what the problem could be

 

same here, so many posts about live problems, im sure these peeps dont know how to install it, lol

 

i am on mac and its flawless , so i can't confirm, i have even performance gaining

yes. but the fact its off has a reason ..... 99% of the people have at least a midi keyboard, why would you need the keyboard to be on .
i guess you are the 1% hehe , so i understand for you then.

 

it is awesome, i just must get around to make a fresh w7 install...

will try with midi connected keyboard and see if thats better then usb, but the capture like they have in cubase is awesome

best live so far

 

either you're using Windows 10, or sh!tty audio interface (and its sh!tty drivers)

 

im on win 10 and haveing no issues core i9 7900x 10 core gtx 1080ti in sli 128 gigs of ram

 

Hard to tell without any specs, number of vst's and type of vst's.

 

what's the problem with win10 ? I use it since launch, doing music, CGI and heavy gaming, no porblems at all.

 

Could be anything. In the meantime, have you tried DPC Latency Checker? You readings should always stay in the "green".
Nvidia cards < ATI for music production with regard to system resources and issues.

I sold Live and Push years ago exactly due to these freakling spikes. I couldnt even switch patterns which push without clicks @ very high buffer settings. I tried it under Windows and OS X

 

could be worse ... imagine 11 !!!!

I did a little try out on 10 and it worked better than 9 for me, if i had to comapre.

 

One of the best guides how to get your windows installation glitch-free for audio work can be found here:

This guide was even linked directly from ableton somewhere on their page ...

This guide covered about 95% of everything I do to every audio workstation that passes through my hands. Excellent guide. This is a required read for everyone interested in making music with Windows. He didn't tackle the Windows services, but those have been covered in depth by Black Viper.

The only thing I don't completely agree with him is Antivirus. He recommends having an AV. AV is a HUGE drain on resources. Just use your Windows for audio and use Linux, OS-X, or another Windows for browsing the Internet. Or use the Internet only when it's really needed, with a couple of safe websites, so there's no chance of picking up any malware or a virus. The middle ground solution is having an AV that you can scan your system with on demand. That's not a bad solution.

I'd read this book thoroughly and apply everything in it to my Windows, @spacetime. Start with that.

Cheers!
