  2. Ableton Buffer Size Mac Free

Buffer size is the amount of time it takes for your computer to process any incoming audio signal. There is no “industry standard” buffer size to run at since it’s all dependent on your computers processing power. Setting an appropriate buffer size will improve your DAW’s consistency and reduce your frustration with error messages. Sep 25, 2019 Can't lower buffer size below 256 samples (in/out) Post by spacedout » Wed Sep 25, 2019 11:57 am Hi there, I'm trying to lower my in and out buffer size to below 256 samples, as I'm using Ableton to provide drum sounds for an electronic drum kit, using a Scarlet Focusrite 2i2 for all of the connections.

Technical support

Need help with setting up or other technical issues?

So everything works great normally, I am playing virtual instruments and running samples... then all of a sudden, I play a note on my keyboard and serious latency ensues. It always happens with my GSi plugin Mr. Ray 73.
Its very strange because it works fine for awhile. When it does happen, every instrument in my project has latency now, even the built in Ableton ones. I have to quit Live entirely and restart it to get it to go away. If anyone knows whats going on, or if anyone knows how to reset the midi messages, please let me know.
Thank you
