Ableton Forum

you guys just saved me the better part of an afternoon. thank you.

on live 9.7.x, i renamed set.als to set.als.gz, and decompressed it with 7zip. it worked great.

empty set is 151k of xml cruft... will have to save changes and diff.

have a great day!

Just adding that I tried this project of lunch's originating from Live 8 and it opens no problem in OS X 10.9.5 into Live 9.5 64bit and into Live 9.5.1b6 32bit with no missing files, but in Windows 7 it crashes Live 9.1.8 (couldn't try 9.5 at the moment) at buffering samples. Possibly then this par...

there is no third party software involved. no effects in use, you've seen the set yourself. doesn't matter which audio driver i select. no external plugins installed, no other programs running, asus ux350ca, windows 10. ableton live 9.5 - beta 9.6b4 32 and 64 bit all hang permanently trying to open ...

of course it does not happen on every machine. that does not mean that it is not a bug in ableton that needs to be addressed. the machine in question works fine with ableton 9.2.3 and earlier. anything newer is a hangfest. ableton has a bug that needs to be found. i was trying to help them find it, ...

oh! my set doesn't use any, but i do have it installed. the simplest-repro problem set is just 2 tracks, each with a long sample (2 hours or so) with some edits in the arrangement mode.

that is a very good question. i am. i will try uninstalling it next time i feel the courage to waste an afternoon dealing with an ableton newer than 9.2.3.

the issue began happening on a brand new windows 10 laptop with no fancy anything installed, no external devices, very bare bones in terms of installed software. the issue does not happen in ableton 9.2.3 and earlier, but does happen in every build of ableton since. this clearly indicates that the p...

'difficult to reproduce', although it happens 100% of the time on my machine. i offered to install remote debugging tools, but i am afraid that they have lost sight of the importance of stability in their software.

ableton devs decided to close my bug without fixing it.

fuck you ableton. fuck you.

Can you be more specific, what are you having problems with? Since 9.5 I have had issues with live locking up, becoming completely non-responsive when opening large samples or doing simple split edits (pressing ctrl+e). To make this issue easy for the devs to reproduce, I have a set that was saved ...

Sure, 9.6b2. Just tested it, still doesn't work right. 9.2.3 is still the last reliable build.

Oh looks like there is a 9.6.2 beta, I'll try that one this weekend, but breath will not be held.

I tried the 9.6 beta last weekend, and it still has the same lockup and instability issues as every 9.5 version i have tried. No improvements. Sticking with 9.2.3.

I'll try 9.6 beta this weekend. Not expecting much as the last 3 betas didn't fix my issues.

Heard back from the devs a week ago. They said they still could not repro the issues with 9.5 with my set, 32 or 64 bit, but hoped to have more information very soon. Not sure how long very soon is, but it is apparently greater than one week. In the meantime, I've been able to use 9.2.3 with a prett...
