- MacBook Pro 16" 8 core 2,3gHz, Catalina
- StudioLive 24R, latest firmware updated, connected to my laptop via USB
- Universal Control latest version
I have a problem with playback from Ableton in a live setup. I use Ableton for backing track and I'm sending from Ableton to a couple of external outputs on the StudioLive.
I worked with this setup several times, but since I switched to my new laptop (which came with Catalina), I keep having issues with the StudioLive Rack. I don't have the issues with my UA Apollo Twin or Focusrite Scarlett 2i4.
First I experienced extreme amounts of midi-audio latency, and had a lot of crackling in the audio. (Tried switching buffer size, but that didn't help).
Yesterday I upgraded the firmware of the StudioLive and the crackling and latency is gone, but now my audio falters, it's like it's skipping a beat sometimes, or I'm hearing milliseconds of silence during playback. It seems to be completely random, but a big problem since I use it for live shows with a lot of backing track and have a lot of shows coming up and of course I don't want it to sound like it's a faulty CD playing. :)
Anyone knows what I can do to fix it? Or should I just wait for another firmware update?
