Hi all.
Serious problem here.
I am runnning a 667 Tibook with 10.2.4 and Live 2.0.3.
If I run Live for longer than about 30mins I get a 4-5 second drop out in audio... serious problem.
I have had this problem for a while, and the 2.1.1 is actually worse.
I am also running reason, just using internal sound card.
Disk is not approaching full. No other problems with machine. I can't seem to see any processor spikes etc. level meters keep going, audio stops.
Please help.

Usual suggestions:
-- run samples off a Firewire drive
-- upgrade to 10.2.6
-- downgrade to Live 1.5.x

Do you have the 'monitor in live' button on in the audio preferences?
I have found that this seems to stop the problem

I have monitor in live turned off.
I will try updating my OS, but I dont want to downgrade live...I need some of the later features.
I don't think the drive is the issue somehow.
any other suggestions?
thanks guys

Try setting energy saver to best performance, sleep functions off, if it is not already.

My energy setting as all non-sleep stuff, no HD spin down etc.
Could hardware cause this?

Easiest way to find out is play a sound file with another program.
If it cuts out, then hardware might be a cause.
If not, then you've isolated the problem to Live.

Run Disk Utility and repair your permisions.
then trash your Live prefernces: ~user/library/preferences/Live.plist
Of course update the OS First.

Use a firewire hard drive for audio/samples...
Glyph net drives are good (or any 7200rpm, 8mb cache firewire hard drive)
This should get rid of 99.9% of your problems

This is exactly what i have (external firewire drive, Western Digital 120gb with 8 meg cache in an Ice enclosure). It makes no difference. I get these dropouts with both the in built audio and with my RME Multiface.
