Thx for the review, Alex Regarding pc configuration, it's possible to run fine on it, but for sure you need continously optimization activities, update drivers, regular OS updates, not to forget are all updates for every hardware peripherals graphics card, soundcards etc etc. It's a fact that pc Windows systems need to be optimized many moments in probably 1 month already. To me, I had enough with this. Done with windows OS in my music studio. Yes, I had to invest but it's worth it for sure👌🏼 My Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 24c CPU, 60c GPU en 32c Neural Engine I'll prob be save for at least 15/20yrs. Still no updates upgrades optimizations needed. My advice to all small or big music producers: Macbook Pro M1 or M2 16gb or go pro with a Mac Studio. You'll need to get alerts for taking a break producing your creativity 🤘🏼😎
peace, was for sure helpful, just installed Ableton and never used it am producing dub reggae and just got all my gear to start preparing for my live shows, thanks Arky Starch
Very helpful video. I second getting an audio interface. I even upgraded my Line 6 UX1 to a MOTU M2 and saw a latency improvement. If you've adjusted Power Settings in Windows 10 but are STILL seeing lag or glitches, check your BIOS. Disable all power "features" in your BIOS. Disabling Intel Speedstep and Powershare on my Dell with a 2nd gen i7 fixed my Ableton 10 glitching.
Bro I just brought a i9 32 gigs of ram 550 ssd and a 2 tb sata And I’m getting midi lag? What? Lol 😂 I was running on a Mac for years with 8gbs of ram with no latency...
I have an MSI GE63VR 7F with 32gb RAM and still I can't sort out my latency. Asio causes sound distortion so I uninstalled it. I have a Novation 61 keyboard plugged into it. Ableton changed the latency settings after an update and suddenly everything went haywire. I haven't been able to fix this so now I have to quantize literally everything I play into Ableton and edit each note. It's an awful experience because I can't just okay and enjoy what I'm playing because it throws me off beat and then I just give up and shut it all down.
Yes. That's probably why you're having ASIO and latency issues. The best configuration is using an interface with ASIO drivers made by the manufacturer.
Hi man go to asio4all.org as he said download latest version and it will show scarlett but it will say asiov2 then click on it and it will show Scarlett and u can adjust the sample rates it's awesome I can now live monitor my input plugins without any latency
Go to the Focusrite website and download the drivers for your specific model of interface. Don't use ASIO4All the Focusrite official drivers will work better.
Nice man thanks for this. How did you get windows to remember the bit depth and sample rate? it always resets it to 32/48.. annoying to say the least. cheers
Thank you very much for this! The problems with sound settings on a brandnew powerful PC are so frustrating that I am about to stop using ableton and there is no support from ableton unfortunately. Using Asio driver I can hear Ableton sounds but then I cannot listen to any youtube video in parallel. When I want to record audio I need to switch the audio settings from Asio to the Audio Technica microphone settings and after recording, I need to switch it back to Asio. Midi input works sometimes, sometimes not .... I wish I could just set up the audio settings once and don't need to change them within a project depending on the tracks I am working on. I am about to give up :(
The ASIO/UA-cam issue depends on the drivers. Some drivers such as the Focusrite ones don't allow multiple apps to access the ASIO out at the same time. A workaround for this is running the headphone out from your computer into your audio interface and setting the windows audio to the default output.
Installed ASIO but if I can hear Baleton I cannot hear anything else such as youtube or video files. It is not working I tried hardware configuration too. Nothing works.
Hey man, so I have a lenovo ideapad that I got a couple of months ago, and I have 12.4 ms. I can't get below that. I know that's really not a big number at all, but I'm a big keyboard player and I can really feel the delay when I'm making music. Also, how do I know what I can end on task manager and what I shouldn't?
I wouldn't end running tasks. I would just disable unnecessary startup services. I.e. apps that run in the background when you boot up. Just be careful not to disable Windows services. As far as your latency goes that's really dependent on your drivers. What kind of audio interface are you using?
@@DJCouchKing No Audio Interface, I haven't bought any type of mic for recording purposes (yet), I've just been using the Windows ASIO Driver to get rid of some latency. Would buying an audio interface that comes with its own sound driver help with latency?

Hi, my version of windows (10 home on laptop) doesn't allow for many (any important) advanced setting manipulation for the battery. What can I do about this?
I unchecked the exclusive control but I am still having issues where if I am trying to watch a UA-cam video with Ableton open, I am unable to play any UA-cam videos. UA-cam videos work with Ableton closed. Any ideas?
When you go into audio preferences it would say something like "Mackie ASIO" if that's the audio device. Check their website for the latest drivers. If you have an open stereo input you could always run the headphone out to your mixer and make sure windows is not set to use the ASIO driver.
Hi! What about latency caused by ACPI.sys on op Win laptops. I have to work on windows machines but its just a headache and make it impossible. Thanks for reply.
Hi DJ Couch King, I would suggest getting a Radeon card and watch the Latency Mon drop to almost zero. Nvidia and Audio production (Ableton = spew). Try it. Hope this helps.

Hi ! I'm using Windows 10, and I've installed my audio interface correctly on Ableton but I'm not getting no sound! The microphone is not recording anything! I've looked around on UA-cam and it shows that couple people using MacBooks had the same issue, but they resolved the issue by simply allowing Microphone Permission on Privacy Settings. I've tried the same thing with windows 10 but it looks like the Ableton software wasn't even included into the Microphone Permission space with other apps! And I've been informed that some applications don't have to be included into that space because they already allow the action themselves without any extra or manual settings. And it looks like Ableton is among these apps. but I'm 100% sure that I've well installed the audio interface and it's microphone on the software. I record twitch videos using Stream Labs OBS and I also use my Microphone on Premiere Pro and it works perfectly fine! Any help or any suggestions? Have you ever encountered this issue? Thank you!
I just downloaded Abelton on my windows laptop (i5 processor, 256 gb, 8gb RAM). Nothing serious just wanted to have fun. Using my Sony WH-1000x M3 headphones. Downloaded ASIO and when switching to the ASIO Driver type I receive an error message. "Love does not support 8000 as a sample rate for the device 'ASIO4ALL v2' ". The only options are Driver type and Audio Device so I don't have an option to change a sample rate. Any ideas?
You may need to open the ASIO4All panel and change the settings there. It will show up on your taskbar. Set the sample rate to 44.1kHz and the buffer to 256 samples. The current sample rate should show up under the audio devices in Live.
Thanks! I just started with this world of ableton and got a midi keyboard, i was expenting everything to be plug and play but its a mess! I dont understand how certain problems are not fixed by this point in history. My sounds seems to be really unstable, like, if the computer goes to sleep and back on, then i get it distorted. Also, ableton sseems to block sound output from other places. For example if I wantt o watch a youtube video it will say ""Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer". This is all a big mess
Set your computer not to go to sleep when you're using music production software. That's a long known issue not related to Ableton specifically. Also make sure you're using the ASIO driver if you're in windows.
@@DJCouchKing I'm in windows and I'm using ASIo. However, it is still the case that when I have ableton with ASIo then the audio from chrome doesn't work
Hi man I have the same problem when I click ASIO I cannot find my focusrite interface as urs appears. Please help Adam has the same issue. Thank you for the video.
This video has helped me before but now, all of the sudden, Ableton takes over the whole sound even though I have unchecked the "Allow exclusive" in the system sound settings. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Pretty annoying having t toggle between my audio interface and my computer monitors when I'm watching youtube tutorials etc and playing along in Ableton
This is an issue with the ASIO drivers on some audio interfaces. A lot of people have been having this issue particularly with Focusrite interfaces. Is windows also set to the ASIO driver?
@@DJCouchKing That's a good question - I have no idea... I am using the PresSonus Audiobox iTwo interface. Right now it works just fine controlling the volume of youtube etc through the interface but as soon as I turn on Ableton it takes over and I have to switch sound settings over to Realtek. How can check if windows is set to ASIO driver?
Thank you for your help I read an article on focusrite web, so I uninstall the ASIO 4all and my current driver for focusrite Scarlett and then download the latest version of driver for my interface is that correct.
Thanks Bra.. Started as a Apple Guy (graphics) and switched to PC, but mostly Linux long time ago. They are way better systems. The only problem with windows 10 is all the garbage they put into that thing. Constantly blocking program reporting back to their source. But Intel rocks. Linux is the best but too bad big corps don't support it... BTW.. have a Focusrite 4i4 and its garbage. There is a issue with a channel when using a mic or guitar. Audicity works great with vocals, but I'd like to hear the abelton track when singing or playing. Maybe a video on the the Scarlite vocal issues, and their ASIO driver is horrible. Gotta run vocals with MME. Thanks for the vid.. My Pioneer DJ console works better as a interface, but too bulky.
Thx a lot for the video, was very useful but i have a question! I Changed ISIO but when i'm when ASIO is on, a have only the sound of LIVE but i don't have sound from other programs, like firefox and so I don't have sound for the tutorial... Is it normal? Do you have a solutions for that?
Well, I had Windows 7 since 2013 and today my friend transfered stuff from my c drive to the d..................then we installed the new c drive, we didnt delete anything from the old c drive, its in a drawer now..... so i downloaded ableton lite again and signed in, my 5 songs are gone. are they likely on the old c drive still in my drawer??? How do I get them back in my file?? I installed windows 10 on the new drive. Is it because i downloaded ableton 10 and my stuff is on 9?
Do you have an enclosure you can put the old hard drive in? If so connect it via USB and copy the old files again. You can open Live 9 projects in Live 10.
Is there a way to change the advanced power settings on a Surface? On mine the only settings I see are for display, sleep, desktop background, and battery.
@@dakodaschwepker6902 I haven’t unfortunately I don’t use my Surface often for ableton, mostly for Musescore so just been trying to fix the latency there first
@DJCouchKing I have ableton 11 on windows 11. Using the Apollo twin. USB.I recently upgraded my pc and I'm thinking I don't have the settings right in my computer because when I do the test in Ableton at 80% I'm getting audio dropouts. I never had that problem before I upgraded.
I'm using Ableton Live 11(Stnd) I have windows 11 pro 128 GB Ram CPU-AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6Core processor 3.5 GHz GPU-AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT VRAM 8176 MB GDDR6 2000 MHz Apollo Twin
does anyone know how to get the ASIO driver to work with ableton link? It is connected but there is no sound input. I am able to change the tempo from the app (grovebox) but there is not sound like i mentioned.
Ableton Link only sends synchronization data, not audio over wireless if that's what you mean. It will sync the tempos but you'll still need to send the audio signal with cables.
I started having troubles in ableton live trial as the whole program is responding slowly and the sound is lagging a lot...also the cpu level iz around 20% with no clips triggered but just when i press play it goes beyond 100%. In preferences i don't have the hardware setrings options and i can only change the output buffer size. My laptop is about 8yrs old but it has i5 and 8gb ram...is the problem in ableton, settings or the laptop?
@@DJCouchKing the power mangament mode is on high performance...not sure if i changed the time when laptop goes to sleep mode (if that makes any difference i will change that as well)...As for audio output i'm using normal headphones so in preferences i don't see the ASIO possibility
Download ASIO4All. The link is in the description. That should allow you to use ASIO with your on-board sound card. Set the buffer to 128 or 256 samples. An i5 won't allow for a ton of plugins and effects to run but you should be able to at least playback audio and make some music;
@@DJCouchKing thank you will definitely try that option...just curious could the problem be usage of multiple third party plugins at the same time? And if so how can this issue be fixed because mostly all the sounds i work with come from plugins...thanks for answering u r doing a great job
This is too much to organize and setup just to get Ableton to behave normally, ever, on Windows 10. Stability issues are not addressed either. Get a used Mac, from 2011 beyond, and you'll crush any Windows 10 machine in stability and ease of use.
@@DJCouchKing now that I have calmed down I am taking your advice. I myself am a software developer and Ableton obviously knows their stuff. It would be great to help them out and figure this out. The real problem is I have no audio interface and asio doesn't work with windows 10 apparently.
ASIO4ALL should work with Windows 10. I would recommend getting something like a Focusrite 2i2 that has good ASIO drivers. That will solve a lot of issues in Ableton Live.

Regarding pc configuration, it's possible to run fine on it, but for sure you need continously optimization activities, update drivers, regular OS updates, not to forget are all updates for every hardware peripherals graphics card, soundcards etc etc. It's a fact that pc Windows systems need to be optimized many moments in probably 1 month already.

why 44100 sample rate? I've changed mine to 48000 since adobe's stuff defaults to that. is there something wrong with 48000?

You may need to open the ASIO4All panel and change the settings there. It will show up on your taskbar. Set the sample rate to 44.1kHz and the buffer to 256 samples. The current sample rate should show up under the audio devices in Live.
Thanks! I just started with this world of ableton and got a midi keyboard, i was expenting everything to be plug and play but its a mess! I dont understand how certain problems are not fixed by this point in history. My sounds seems to be really unstable, like, if the computer goes to sleep and back on, then i get it distorted. Also, ableton sseems to block sound output from other places. For example if I wantt o watch a youtube video it will say ""Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer". This is all a big mess
Set your computer not to go to sleep when you're using music production software. That's a long known issue not related to Ableton specifically. Also make sure you're using the ASIO driver if you're in windows.
@@DJCouchKing I'm in windows and I'm using ASIo. However, it is still the case that when I have ableton with ASIo then the audio from chrome doesn't work
@@brunoscocozza7531 ive got this problem too with the other sounds in chrome not working.
Isn’t that cause don’t have the exclusive mode turned off and sample rate is above 44100 Hz?

Hi man I have the same problem when I click ASIO I cannot find my focusrite interface as urs appears. Please help Adam has the same issue. Thank you for the video.
You'll need to go the focusrite website and download the ASIO drivers for your specific model of interface first.
Here's the link to their driver page: customer.focusrite.com/en/support/downloads
This video has helped me before but now, all of the sudden, Ableton takes over the whole sound even though I have unchecked the "Allow exclusive" in the system sound settings. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Pretty annoying having t toggle between my audio interface and my computer monitors when I'm watching youtube tutorials etc and playing along in Ableton
This is an issue with the ASIO drivers on some audio interfaces. A lot of people have been having this issue particularly with Focusrite interfaces. Is windows also set to the ASIO driver?
@@DJCouchKing That's a good question - I have no idea...
I am using the PresSonus Audiobox iTwo interface.
Right now it works just fine controlling the volume of youtube etc through the interface but as soon as I turn on Ableton it takes over and I have to switch sound settings over to Realtek.
How can check if windows is set to ASIO driver?
Open the control panel and look at the sound settings. Might be worth checking the Presonus website to see if they have a fix for this.
Thank you for your help I read an article on focusrite web, so I uninstall the ASIO 4all and my current driver for focusrite Scarlett and then download the latest version of driver for my interface is that correct.
That should fix the issue.
Thanks Bra.. Started as a Apple Guy (graphics) and switched to PC, but mostly Linux long time ago. They are way better systems. The only problem with windows 10 is all the garbage they put into that thing. Constantly blocking program reporting back to their source. But Intel rocks. Linux is the best but too bad big corps don't support it... BTW.. have a Focusrite 4i4 and its garbage. There is a issue with a channel when using a mic or guitar. Audicity works great with vocals, but I'd like to hear the abelton track when singing or playing. Maybe a video on the the Scarlite vocal issues, and their ASIO driver is horrible. Gotta run vocals with MME. Thanks for the vid.. My Pioneer DJ console works better as a interface, but too bulky.
Check out my video on how to record audio in Ableton. I go over how to monitor through the software. Thanks for watching!
How to solve error ‘ live not support 8000 sampling rate’ . Unable to go hardware setting because this message pop out
Probably a driver error issue. Sample rate should be 44100 or 48000 not 8000.
Thx a lot for the video, was very useful but i have a question!
I Changed ISIO but when i'm when ASIO is on, a have only the sound of LIVE but i don't have sound from other programs, like firefox and so I don't have sound for the tutorial...
Is it normal? Do you have a solutions for that?
I think this is an issue with certain audio interface drivers. I've had a few people mention it. Which interface are you using?
I@@DJCouchKing Thx, a lot for answering. I've just downloaded ISIO 2.14 but i don't have an external sound interface.
it may be the problem....
Well, I had Windows 7 since 2013 and today my friend transfered stuff from my c drive to the d..................then we installed the new c drive, we didnt delete anything from the old c drive, its in a drawer now.....
so i downloaded ableton lite again and signed in, my 5 songs are gone.
are they likely on the old c drive still in my drawer???
How do I get them back in my file??
I installed windows 10 on the new drive.
Is it because i downloaded ableton 10 and my stuff is on 9?
Do you have an enclosure you can put the old hard drive in? If so connect it via USB and copy the old files again. You can open Live 9 projects in Live 10.
Is there a way to change the advanced power settings on a Surface? On mine the only settings I see are for display, sleep, desktop background, and battery.
have you found a solution to this my friends?
@@dakodaschwepker6902 I haven’t unfortunately
I don’t use my Surface often for ableton, mostly for Musescore so just been trying to fix the latency there first
hey my dear, I have no signal from Ableton to the interface when I want to record.
What kind of microphone are you using? Check to make sure the phantom power is on if it's a condenser microphone and that the input level is up.
@@DJCouchKing thanks for you help. I see now what you mean. Hahahah. So easy.
I can't get ableton to install. How can I deal with that?
wow, this was awesome, could you please tell me where I can download this for free, I need this app.....
You can download a free trial from Ableton's website. They extended it to 180 days for the pandemic.
I wonder if you can help me. I've been waiting for Ableton to give me a call back for about 10 days now
I can try. What's the issue?
@DJCouchKing I have ableton 11 on windows 11. Using the Apollo twin. USB.I recently upgraded my pc and I'm thinking I don't have the settings right in my computer because when I do the test in Ableton at 80% I'm getting audio dropouts. I never had that problem before I upgraded.

@@LowKeyProductionz might be a background process in Windows running. Did you try running latencymon?
@@DJCouchKing I will tonight
does anyone know how to get the ASIO driver to work with ableton link? It is connected but there is no sound input. I am able to change the tempo from the app (grovebox) but there is not sound like i mentioned.
Ableton Link only sends synchronization data, not audio over wireless if that's what you mean. It will sync the tempos but you'll still need to send the audio signal with cables.
DJ Couch King dang. I had a feeling......thank you for replying!!! Awesome video by the way!

🙏
Reminder to self: 5:10
Doing this no longer let me use ASIO as driver.
Peace!
will it work on ryzen 7 4800H laptop? smoothly?
Ryzen 7 is a good processor. You'll want to get an audio interface with ASIO drivers for the best performance.
I started having troubles in ableton live trial as the whole program is responding slowly and the sound is lagging a lot...also the cpu level iz around 20% with no clips triggered but just when i press play it goes beyond 100%.
In preferences i don't have the hardware setrings options and i can only change the output buffer size.
My laptop is about 8yrs old but it has i5 and 8gb ram...is the problem in ableton, settings or the laptop?
Did you adjust the power management settings? Do you have an audio interface with ASIO drivers?
@@DJCouchKing the power mangament mode is on high performance...not sure if i changed the time when laptop goes to sleep mode (if that makes any difference i will change that as well)...As for audio output i'm using normal headphones so in preferences i don't see the ASIO possibility
Download ASIO4All. The link is in the description. That should allow you to use ASIO with your on-board sound card. Set the buffer to 128 or 256 samples. An i5 won't allow for a ton of plugins and effects to run but you should be able to at least playback audio and make some music;
@@DJCouchKing thank you will definitely try that option...just curious could the problem be usage of multiple third party plugins at the same time? And if so how can this issue be fixed because mostly all the sounds i work with come from plugins...thanks for answering u r doing a great job
Can i record real internts to??
softp download please Brother
Everyone is at the beggining.
"Windows for a while", nice....
thanks for this video... ableton is easy to run dont get fooled 😝
Thanks for watching!
64GB of Ram😳😳
Only because I do video and 3D also. Heh... Yeah it's a lot. Not needed for Ableton. 😅
@@DJCouchKing But is sick bro😂🔥
This is too much to organize and setup just to get Ableton to behave normally, ever, on Windows 10. Stability issues are not addressed either.
Get a used Mac, from 2011 beyond, and you'll crush any Windows 10 machine in stability and ease of use.
Sorry you're having a tough time. You might want to reach out to Ableton's support team if you're still having issues.
@@DJCouchKing now that I have calmed down I am taking your advice. I myself am a software developer and Ableton obviously knows their stuff. It would be great to help them out and figure this out. The real problem is I have no audio interface and asio doesn't work with windows 10 apparently.
ASIO4ALL should work with Windows 10. I would recommend getting something like a Focusrite 2i2 that has good ASIO drivers. That will solve a lot of issues in Ableton Live.
i hate it. it’s like asmr
great info!! thank you, sir!
Thanks for watching!
thanks really it worked. peace bro
How do I go around disabling usb? I use an audio interface which is powered with usb
Not sure what you mean. Disabling USB selective suspend just keeps Windows from shutting off the USB ports.
Oh ok. I mustn't have heard it correctly then. I'll go through once more. Thanks for the reply!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Valeuuu.Obrigado!
