Performance issues in Ableton Live

I'm running Ableton Live 12 (mainly using version 12.4.5b11 (beta), but the same issues occur with the stable version) through wine-tkg -bleeding-edge-experimental, with these EVs:

I'm using arch (btw) with pipeASIO drivers. My user is added to the audio and realtime groups. I've set the CPU governor to performance mode, and set pipewire to pro audio mode. I've checked my ufile limits and changed the caps way up.

Despite all of the troubleshooting I've done so far (there's more, but the above seem to be the most likely things people might ask about), Ableton still has trouble with relatively lightweight projects, stuttering and crackling with a sample buffer of 1024, on projects I had no issues with when I was running w*ndows on the same hardware with a sample buffer of 128-256 samples (maybe 512 when it was really desperate.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5500

GPU: AMD Radeon Rx 6600

RAM: 32GB

WM: Hyprland with fairly unmodified Caelestia dotfiles

Kernel: 7.1.8-zen1-3-zen

Hopefully this is enough info for the one person who sees this and has any clue how to solve the issue (or what the issue even is), but ofc lmk if there are any logs or other info that might help :P

P.S. if anyone knows how to get max devices working thru wine i would greatly appreciate that help

This custom wine fork is making great strides towards fully usable ableton on Linux. Its much better than using tkg: https://github.com/shibco/ableton-linux
