I’m on Ableton 10 (I know I know) I’ve been away from producing for several years, so haven’t wanted to upgrade yet, but upon coming back, I’m having issues where certain sounds will just drop out during playback. Not all tracks just some of them.

Specifically, my serum, two instances and my kicks and snares (which are both audio) my crashes and hats never seem to cut out.

I haven’t had this issue before, my CPU never peaks above 60%, like I said some tracks continue to play and it doesn’t freeze it just doesn’t pick it up or something, and assume I’m not don’t it with an effect because it happens at random times but I can’t figure it out these are the steps I’ve taken to fix it so far.

- only had ableton open
- deleted all trial plug-ins
- deleted all unused tracks
- froze almost all tracks
- deleted all master plug-ins
- switched audio to ASIO
- increased and decreased buffer size
- turned on and off delay setting

When I start a new project with 1 track and a solid tone it doesn’t cut out in the same way but if I recall the current project started doing it fairly early on. Any suggestions would be great.

I’m using mostly stock plugins, ozone 8, serum 2, and a distortion plug in I forgot the name of

Hello. I will say before I ask that I did search this question in this subreddit, other subreddits, and google in general before asking.

What I want is something on my taskbar that, when I left-click it, it opens a new file explorer window, even if I already have a file explorer window open. The italicized part is the key here. I already have file explorer pinned, and if no file explorer window is open, a single click will open it, but then once a window is open, that pinned icon becomes the controller for the open window. But often, I find myself wanting to open new file explorer windows and don't want to right click and select file explorer. Compare to my pinned chrome icon, which, when clicked, will open a new taskbar icon for chrome for the open chrome window, leaving the pinned chrome icon able to be single clicked to open a new chrome window.

Thanks!
