Ableton Forum

hmm. here it doesnt seem to matter what length the audio clip is.. also long clips give the same effect (tested with a clip with length 142:1:2).

(ay! turns out updating my video drivers seems like a involved process, i won't be doing it today)

just tested the live demo on my work machine:

WinXP pro SP2
Pentium(r) 4 2.66GHz, 1GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

Same result. very jerky on zooming in (although i noticed i had to place a few more small 1/512 clips to get the jerkiness jerking than on my home laptop)

I got an email reply about the slowness, and whether it was likely to be improved in v6:
