Ableton Live – Playback lag in 3.4.0 in arrangement view, reverted back

[digitalGreg]

Hi,

Since updating to 3.4.0 I notice in Ableton Live Arrangement view if I am playing the track I’m working on and jump to different sections of the arrangement, the audio for the drums seems to take about a second to come in. Ive noticed same behaviour on EZ Drummer 3 latest version too (I’ll post there too). Its fine in session view changing scenes and its ok if the audio is stopped , but cannot seek without this annoying playback lag.

I have  checked and unchecked Follow Host , same issue. I changed messing around with buffer settings, same issue.

I’ve had to revert to the previous version where this behaviour does not occur at all.

Thanks!

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.0
Operating system: Windows 10

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience! We have noticed that this issue is occurring when 44.1kHz sample rate is being used. The programmers are investigating.

Other than downgrading, which you have done, another workaround is to use a different sample rate.

No ETA yet, but the team is working to fix this and other issues in the next software updates to SD3 and EZD3.

Sorry about that Matt! A fix has been found and it is coming in the next update, but before then that version (which includes other bug fixes and changes too) has to go through QA testing. How long this will take depends on the findings of our testers. The fact that we are in the summer vacation months in Sweden right now is going to affect the timeline as well.

Please let us know if you need any assistance in applying the workaround and we’ll help!
