i have been recording instruments from ‘out of the box lately’ into ableton and consequently been trying to keep my buffer size low (around 128 samples). but i find i have to keep my plug ins limited as i get pops/clicks when ableton shows cpu at 40-50%. i’m on os x with a mac pro 1,1, dual core 2.67 ghz xeon and i’m using an rme multiface with pcie hdspe card. things especially get clicky when i use a couple instances of aether.br
br
any suggestions on what to do to improve things?
.
I tend to track at 128 and mix at 1024… just get evrything recorded then mix later… there is no other way round it really… and once you get used to it it becomes second nature.br

You can still add new recordings later you just have to keep in mind plugins that might be adding latency to the recording.br
br
no interface bar the UA Apollo will give you zero latency tracking with plugins that i know of.br
