Topic: Babyface pro freezing

Hello,
I have a babyface pro running on Mac Big Sur (all software and drivers up-to-date).

When I'm running intensive Ableton Live sets, sometimes, audio will drop out and my computer will freeze for ~10 seconds.
This is sporadic, maybe happening once every 1-6 hours of playing.
It never happens with the built-in output or my MOTU 1248.
Do you have any advice or insight as to what may be causing it?
I've tried changing usb cables and ports, but it doesn't help.

Thank you
Ben

Please check this, reducing the video refresh rate in Ableton Live may help.

Thanks for the heads-up!
That looks interesting. Unfortunately, that option doesn't work with Live 11. I get an error when I create that line in Options.txt
Any other idea?

No other ideas? Dang, that makes me sad. Babyface has such a good form factor, I'll be sad to move on

Does using a larger buffer make a difference? That MOTU might use a larger buffer to begin with even when you set the same buffer size in its settings, so it's worth experimenting with that.
