I needed a new computer after only 5 months of getting a new one. And each CPU spike was crashing the program in and some cases the whole operating system on my computer.

Ableton told me I had a 9GB RAM spike on one project (not many instruments, optimized, tracks frozen and nothing to impact the CPU) which was a huge surprise.īut Abelton, or “CPU Killer” as I was now referring to it as, was coded in a way where this would happen.

“Why were these things not addressed during the beta testing phase?” I kept asking myself.Ĭrashes continued as the CPU (central processing unit) meter kept going way over 100% and I realized that it was now the laptop was just not powerful enough. I tried to return to production the next day and noticed a lot of bugs and design changes that should not have been made. Once I had changed the Preferences and used ASIO as my sound driver, I was in business.
