Ableton Forum

Ok, so i let my buddy try out live 5 in order for him to see if he wanted to purchase live 7.

He says it barely runs decently on his macbook. what gives? i thought the macbooks were capable of running live at reasonable rates. there is so much latency it is barely workable.

I don't think the MacBook Air has speakers. . . yeah, no speakers. they really cut some serious things out of this macbook. they could have waited a year, this is completely rushed. no firewire, no ethernet, no optical drive (i could live with that), no speakers, and no replaceable battery (apple w...

PadKontrol seems to get the vote around here. The best feeling pads (IMO). The flashing lights are cool. And people are hacking it left and right to come up with all kinds of cool alternative uses for it. Cool tunes by the way. What time do you guys go on tomorrow night? I'm trying to save my clams...

running it off my macbook pro. mainly for guitar, bass, and maybe even a mic once in a while.

so i dont need anything that crazy. i cant stand a lot of latency so thats my main priority there.

i'll be using live of course, logic 8, and guitar rig.

ha, dollars people, dollars.

wow, great reply guys. thanks!

Ok, i dont need anything expensive. i'm looking for something cheap (under 300).

this will mainly be used for riff writing with my guitar/bass. i'm currently looking at TonePort from Line 6 and Kontakt 1 from Native Instruments.

any other suggestions/thoughts on my choices?

i installed it through target disk mode.

where do you see that safari needs 2gigs of ram to run right?


i love leopard so far. spaces and stacks do so much for me, i've waited for these features forever.

lol, fucker.

ok, wow i just figured out the problem. you all should read: so, the issue isn't with leopard at all. i believe its with the disk drive in every single apple computer, that or each brand of DVD+R DL's have something odd going on. so, the leopard install is on a sony DVD+R DL. it installed on both my...

dru wrote:Not sure, but when I installed Leopard on my mate's regular Macbook, took around 6 tries before it actually read the CD. Worked fine in my MBP.

it mounted twice but then on restart it failed.

i'm getting so tired of these recent apple issues.

seriously, this is aggravating me to no end. i got leopard because i love spaces but now the install disk wont mount on my macbook pro. it works on my imac and mac mini, weird?? i've tested the macbook with a dvd=fine, cd=fine, and the original tiger install disk=fine. wtf is going on? is there some...

oh sh/t that came out today! gonna go buy it right now.

that movie rocked.

lets not forget that now logic is half the price it once was! for 500 bucks you can not beat it, no matter what way you slice it.

i've been a live user since ableton live 4, but i gotta say now i'm totally for logic pro 8. logic pro 8 is just a freaking monster for the price. you get so many top notch things that i'm sorry to say nothing else beats it. if you can afford both and have the time to use both then sure. for now i'm...
