Laggy interface-canvas-visual metronome until 'save as new copy'

Greetings,

So I have this weird issue where when I load my setlist (it’s quite big with a lot of songs) if I just try to play it Ableset will be super laggy. Metronome out of sync, jumping beats, “add song dialog” lagging, play/stop as well. Playback is fine, CPU in Ableton is around 30-40%, no issues there. I also make sure there’s plenty of time for the samples and templates to load before trying (usually load 45 mins before show time)

However, if I just “save as” a new set and give it a random name (without collecting media, just the .als file) everything becomes snappy again. Not sure if it’s an Ableton problem even or Ableset, I tried to diagnose the logs with Claude without much success.

This is happening on an iPad connected to a Mac mini via ethernet, showing 1ms latency so network is not at play here as far as I know.

I’ll include a log of the original set (that was laggy at the time of testing) and the one I “saved as” right after, that worked perfectly.

Small quality of life problem I guess but since my stage computer is a Mac mini with no screen it’s a pain to remote into it before every show just to “save as”.

Thanks!

Please fill out these values to make it easier to troubleshoot:

  • OS and Version: Mac OS Sequoia
  • Version of AbleSet: 3.1.8 (and 3.1.7
  • Version of Ableton Live: 12.4.3

Hey @Felix-Antoine_Berger, thank you for reporting this!

I recently released a new beta which completely reworked the connection between AbleSet and Ableton Live, making it more performant and stable especially with large projects.

As with any beta, I’d recommend thoroughly testing it before using it on stage, but if you’d like to give it a try, you can download it here.

I’m looking forward to your feedback!
