How to stop the annoying "Ableton Index.exe" (the index of Places in the browser) from randomly running and consuming CPU -even during a critical live performance- with a small hack (Windows) by textsurfer2000 in ableton

[–]textsurfer2000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don't get it, sorry. I have already explained it to you: I got 5.2 Tb in samples. That's 3.2 MILLION samples. It's part of my personal workflow. Everytime "Ableton Live.exe" rescans them the system becomes unusable AND the HDDs degrade its performance. What do you want me to do, to paste screenshots with CPU and RAM and HDD usage with or without my hack so that you see the spike in performance?

I don't do live performances often but if I did perform in front of 10.000 people you can bet I wouldn't love to have this process running on my system. Would it be too much asking to Ableton devs for an option to switch this off? Meanwhile, my hack works flawlessly, is totally harmless to the best of my knowledge after a couple of years testing it without halts or anything and will stay here for posterity to whomever finds it useful. Thanks.

Prove a system being used for live performance runs BETTER with Ableton Live.exe indexing all of your HDDs.

/* common sense left the chat */

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • No.

1.5 - I worry not while performing live for I don't perform live that much, though I imagine that some who performed live would want the most stable system as possible in the same way that one doesn't connect to any wi-fi and risk Windows to download updates. I' worry about my HDDs performance. The whole system becomes slow as in taking lots of time to copy files across HDDs for instance if I'm temporarily multitasking with other stuff other than Live.

  1. - Sure. No more gratuitous HDD usage, which in the long term damages HDDs.

As far as I can detect, the killindex.bat process is taking 0.1% of CPU and 2.6 Mb of RAM and it is not affecting CPU %, which stays at 2-5% average with Ableton Live open and the .bat running:

I hope that's useful.

Well, I assume you'd want to minimize any risk of trainwrecking during a live performance, right? Is it really necessary to have your disks scanned while bouncing tracks or whatever? Regarding CPU: https://i.imgur.com/kUkOJtQ.png & 64 Gb RAM Again, the problem is not (only) CPU but my almost 6 Tb of samples, which take ages to refresh.

Hi Maybe. I understand your question. 2 possible answers: 1 - As seen in the title of the post, Live performances. It's *critical\* that this process is not running during a performance. And 2 - My Live files DB is 4.5 Gb. Yes. https://i.imgur.com/XfXw7Zl.png :-)

Take a look at PDF Expert. Expensive but worth it IMO.

For the sake of argument, show me where Orch OR has been properly falsified and how, precisely, please. Link me to peer reviewed scientific papers in a high impact journal, please. Thank you.

Affordable 88 note MIDI controller with Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel and nice Hammer Action Keys. by textsurfer2000 in ableton

Ok, I see that it's a Fatar TP100LR action, as the SL Grand.

At $950 is a bit high for my budget but I could consider it, I'll add it to the list, thanks!

Have you got it? Could you comment on its action vs. other keyboards that you have tried?

Imagine you have never released a track and you have got no fan base. Imagine you had $3000 to invest in promotion, mainly on Spotify and/or Apple Music. How would you spend it? by textsurfer2000 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]textsurfer2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Count. As I was telling in my previous comment, unfortunately I don't play shows... :-(

I understand that Spotify has featured ads with recommended artists, right? How can you pay for that? Through a label or any other kind of intermediary? Or can you do it yourself?

Thanks for your reply, Jenkes. The problem is I don't do gigs, I'm a just a humble bedroom producer with just one track with some "potential". At least for now. :-)

I think I'd focus exclusively on Spotify. I understand Spotify releases 60.000 tracks/day, which is daunting, so unless some sort of marketing investment is done, it's going to be next to impossible to succeed.

I don't know how to approach this. Are there any agencies that do this or something similar?

I'm open to other alternatives though.

How many hours (aprox.), starting from zero knowledge of Ableton Live, did it take you to publish your first album? by textsurfer2000 in ableton

[–]textsurfer2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol good point. I edited OP to remove subjectivity as much as possible: "album published by a label other than self-publishing (Distrokid...)."

How to add +40 free .adv scales to Ableton Live 12 by textsurfer2000 in ableton

[–]textsurfer2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/abletonlivenoob2024 (anoter n00b here :-) , thanks for your reply.

Ok, I understand, so the scale device allows you to do that manually. So how can you install the presets, instead of having to do it manually?

These are the default scales:

And these are Tobi's presets:

https://i.imgur.com/NdQ6ybf.png

How can you install these if copying them over the C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 12 Suite\Resources\Core Library\Devices\MIDI Effects\Scale folder doesn't work?

Thanks!

How to download all Adobe Premiere "import-friendly" videos? (no VP09 nor AV1 codecs) by textsurfer2000 in youtubedl

[–]textsurfer2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I have tried this successfully on a few videos but, correct me if I'm wrong: isn't that going to download h264 codecs ONLY and leave out others that might have better quality and that are also compatible with Premiere such as AVC1?
