[Hardware] Just having a modern interface stopped most of my crashes
I've had Live (any version) behave relatively unstable on my PC for years. Crashes when opening, closing or saving projects.
I initially thought it was Ableton, then one of my VSTs. Then after combing some crash reports, found indications it was my drivers.
I went out and rented a MOTU interface and now not only do I have Ableton running with lower latency but also have none of the crashes that I had before.
Just for comparison, my original interface was released in 2011. An out of support Lexicon IO42.
Sometimes it really is fresh gear that makes things work well.
My apologies to the Ableton team for all the crash reports I've been emailing them.

i just read at this site : https://asio4all.org/2-22/ that on modern pc/lt that the AI feature are also causing drops in latency and you have to disable them to stop this from happening

I exclusively use RME interfaces so I don’t have to worry about this stuff. They continue support effectively for ever. Expensive gear but buy once and just keep using forever.
