My Live 9 experience, every song I try to make in Live 9 - has been blighted by clicking, both a constant crackling low level click (like a DAT tape gone bad) and a loud crackle once a bar. It sounds exactly like buffer under-run which would mean that upping my sound card buffer to something huge like 512 or 1024 ought to eliminate it.

Nov 03, 2016 Ableton Live 9.7 Suite for MAC is an excellent digital audio workstation software developed to provide tools for editing and creating various musical compositions for musicians or producers to perform live onstage. Compared to other sequencers, this app appears more compact with a multitude of different parameters intended for a single screen usage so it may seem complicated to some.

But changing the buffer makes no difference at all.
This happens in all sets including in low resource-usage sets with no VSTs in, only native devices.
Live 8 still works perfectly, and does not crackle, I can take my buffer down really low, run multiple VSTs, etc. etc. All with no crackle. While Live 9 crackles and pops when hardly anything is happening, low resource usage, high buffer.

I am amazed that more people have not reported this issue. How can my Live 8 work perfectly and my Live 9s be all crappy like this?
I am using the latest version of Live 9, I have tried both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions, I have delete my preferences, etc. - and it has made no difference to this problem. I have reported the issue ever since the Beta of Live 9. but nothing has happened about it.
It makes Live 9 pretty unbearable to use.
