Recently upgraded from a base spec M1 Mac Mini to an M4 Studio M4 and very disappointingly I’m seeing these kind of errors for the first time in Ableton. Wondered if this is a firmware issue (surely the SSD /bus on my studio should run rings around my older Mac) or have I received a duff unit?
Mac Studio
Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by a senior contributor here, and uses mostly system calls and simple tests to collect often-needed information.
it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.
if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.
Use Etrecheck Pro for free:
then start a reply on the forums, click the 'Additional text' icon, and PASTE
Thank you very much, I’ll try that this evening.
I could replicate the issue everytime with that particular audio track.
For full disclosure I exported some older tracks again and they were trouble free so hopefully it’s not an issue with my SDD read/write speed.
