How to Set Up Windows 10 for Ableton Live

[@DJCouchKing]

Thanks for watching! Let me know if there's anything you think I missed! You can read the official article from Ableton on how to do this here: help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209071469-Optimizing-Windows-for-Audio

[@nawothnig]

I've been using Ableton on a Windows Laptop for 7 months, i never did any optimization. I just stumbled on this video and tried out ableton and WOW! Everything feels sooo much smoother within ableton. The whole application seems to be more reactive now. ty so much!!

[@creative-ray-music]

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 🤘🏼😎

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.

[@dmwm771]

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 :(

[@DJCouchKing]

The ASIO/KZbin 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.

[@dmwm771]

@@DJCouchKing thank's so much. Will try it!

[@carfanfan]

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.

[@carfanfan]

@@DJCouchKing I don't use an audio interface. My Novation plugs straight into my laptop usb. Should I be using an audio interface?

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.

Are you using ASIO4ALL or a native driver for your interface?

[@buuzy252]

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 KZbin 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 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?
