Topic: Audio glitches and CPU spikes using UCX Firewire driver, Ableton Live

Hi everyone.
When using graphically complex plugins (e.g.: Ozone 7) I get CPU spikes and audio glicthes in Ableton. Computer is a 2015 MBP with lots of power. Drives are clean. Latest firmware and drivers. Latency 1024 samples
Switching to USB, everything works better. Much better even though not perfect.


Any clues?

Thanks a lot, best

Looks like exactly the same problem I have. Does it look like this?
