We recommend using a buffer size of one of the following: 128, 256, 512 or 1024 samples. It's possible to set the Buffer size in Live's preferences → Audio Tab, however depending on your interface, you might need to click on Hardware Settings to make the adjustment in the audio interface preferences. Try to change the buffer size with the slider in the ASIO4ALL window, not in Ableton Live. As far as I remember you can not change it in Live when you're using ASIO4ALL. A buffer size of 256 samples should be possible with your machine. You can change the buffer size from the ASIO Control Panel, which you can open by clicking 'Show ASIO Panel'. Go to the mixer window ('View' 'Mixer') and click on the master channel. Make sure the output is set to Focusrite (in this case we are using Output 1 and 2).
I'm hoping someone out there can help me with an unexpected problem using Ableton Live 9 and a new Scarlett 2i4.
I just bought a Scarlett 2i4 to replace my previous M-audio interface. The Scarlett drivers were installed from the Focusrite website and installation went without a hitch.
I went to the Live preferences to setup the new audio device and I've found that I can't adjust the buffer size... I also can't adjust the input latency and output latency. The Live preference menu doesn't give me a value box that I can edit and the buffer is set to 512 samples, the input latency is set to 24.2ms and the output latency set to 34.9ms. This gives me a whopping 59.1ms of overall latency!!!
The only variables that I can adjust are the in/out sample rate (Ive set it to 48,000) but this has no effect on the overall latency time.
I can adjust the driver Error Compensation and if I set it to -50.0ms, the overall latency drops to 9.08ms.
I've tried setting up the driver as per the ASIO Hardware Setup tutorial that comes with Live but the tutorial goes on about adjusting the Input/Output Latency and adjusting Buffer sizes while monitoring the test tone and I'm not presented with an option to adjust these values.
If I click on the hardware setup button, I get a bare-bones Focusrite menu that has a slider to adjust Buffer Length (from 0 to 10ms) and a drop down menu to adjust the sample rate. It also gives me a non-editable readout of the Live input and Output buffer size (which is 24.2ms and 34.9ms, respectively).
So - my question(s): does anyone else have this problem? Have you worked out how to fix it (reduce the buffer size) or at least reduce the huge latency? Is there another/better driver out there??
I'm using Live 9.2.3 (32bit), Win 7, Scarlett 2i4 (latest drivers from website).
Thanks very much for any help or suggestions.

It seems to be better if I have my Ableton DAW open. Should I open my DAW before I start JamKazam?
How do I get the Buffer size to stick? Can I set a default of 64 somehow, as it seems to do what it wants before it calms down?
Thanks.
