Hey all, as this issue still seems to persist for some, I’ve tried to find workarounds so you don’t need as many locators in your project file.
I just released a new beta version that allows you to enable a setting for jumping to sections without locators.
When this is enabled, depending on where you’re jumping, AbleSet will either use the loop bracket to get the playhead to jump backwards or schedule a jump forwards. Since Live doesn’t allow third-party plugins to buffer audio, jumping forwards can sometimes lead to slight dropouts in audio clips.
As a workaround to this, I added another new option that allows you to load relevant audio clips into RAM, essentially enabling the RAM switch for those clips dynamically. This allows Live to jump more smoothly and in my tests so far eliminated the audio dropouts.
You can set this setting to “Current Song”, “Entire Setlist”, “Entire Project”, or “None” depending on how many clips you’d like to load into RAM at once. If there are too many clips in RAM at once, Live’s CPU usage will spike when starting and stopping playback.
If you’re currently still experiencing issues with disk dropouts in projects with many locators and would like to give this beta a try, I’d love to get your feedback on these new options.
I’m looking forward to your replies!
