Did this fix your issue permanently? I haven’t had dropouts in quite a while. I have a big session with many songs and it doesn’t drop. I took two of those songs and placed them in a set for a short show and got a dropout around chorus 1 of one of the song at two different occasions. This is driving me nuts. Not being able to rely on my equipment is of course very frustrating!!
Hey @producerkeith1, welcome to the forum!
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced dropouts with Ableton Live! I know this can be very frustrating.
The solution I posted above is still working for me, but if it isn’t working for you, could you post some more information for troubleshooting?
- Are you running both the old and new project on the same machine and with the same audio interface?
- Do the dropouts always occur in similar places, like the chorus 1 you mentioned or are there other places where this has happened as well?
- Does Live’s CPU meter spike when the dropouts occur?
- Do you see any interesting lines in Live’s Log.txt file when the dropout occurs?
It might also be worth reaching out to Ableton with this issue as they likely have more insight into what might be causing this.
I’m looking forward to your reply!
Do these bugs occur when you use the tracks without Warp? I’m getting this error that you are discussing, but I’ve never tested it without Warp.
I’ve also only worked with sessions that use warped audio clips, so I’m not sure if turning warp off on all clips would solve this issue. I might be worth a try though 
Have you already tried the other troubleshooting steps suggested in this post?
The only troubleshooting step I hadn’t tested was disabling “Continuity Camera,” but I already play with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off, so I don’t think it has any impact. I also only use native plugins in my session.
Some time ago, before I started using Ableset, my session had already experienced some dropouts, and I solved it by using less complex Warp settings.
Setup:
Macbook Air M2 8gb 256gb
PlayAudio 1u
Ableton Live 11.3.3
I’m going to update to Ableton Live 11.3.10 to evaluate if it improves as well.
Adding to this. I am experiencing dropouts as well. My church started having this issue within the last 3 weeks.
We switched from a PA12 as our interface to using Dante Virtual Soundcard maybe a month and a half/two months ago. First couple weeks were fine but now things are starting to drop out. I’m using a Netgear GS305 switch to send to both our Dante network and our Ableset network.
Audio is a dropout, not a pause/stop, as when it resumes playback it’s still in time. Happened very early in the set. Maybe like bar 40-50.
I was in a spot to be able to see my screen when it happened, no Ableton disk warning or anything but it happened on 3 occasions over the course of the performance and one of the times I saw Ableset quickly go to the loading screen and then popped back in.
I’m gonna create a log after this service. Any advice?

This sounds like a dante clocking issue to me
If this is a Dante clocking issue, you should see it in Dante Controller’s event log. To work around this, you could try increasing the latency of Dante Virtual Soundcard or reducing the number of channels if you don’t need all 64.
