OK now that I've downloaded version 3.0.2 it seems a bit better. I do love this program I just wish it did better under OS X. With Pro tools and Rewire it seems much better then Logic and Rewire.
By itself or with Reason it seems fine.
Unfortunately most of my music to video work is composed in ...

Set-up G4 800MHz Dual with 1.25 GIG Ram
120 G Firewire drive for audio and samplesOS 10.2.8
Logic Audio 6.3.3
Live 3.0 or 3.01
Live takes at least 2 minutes to launch.
A session with 4 or 5 tracks pukes spits and sputters running under rewire and Logic. It worked better in Version 2. Consolidate ...

I think I've discovered a work around for the Launch Hang on my G4.
I noticed it would hang and freeze the system as it was initializing the audio inputs and outputs. I found that if I first launch something that uses the outputs like iTune or Audion (leave it open) and then launch Live it opens ...

This sounds related to the problem I have of Live freezing when launched as stand alone while initialing the audio inputs and outputs with a Digi 001 attached. (Not using the 001 for Live although it acts the same if you haave that selected i.e freezing the system) G4 800MHz OS 10.2.8.
Usually ...

Live 3 still hangs on launch freezing my system requiring a hard reboot. Then launches OK after restart. On quiting it says Live has unexpectedly Quit.
The is no method to the Launch hang. Sometimes after working in other sound apps. Sometimes not. It is very frustrating.
Problem system G4 800MHz ...

Same problem in Live 3 as there was in the Beta. Hang on Launch requiring reboot.

Live 3 consistantly hangs on lauch after working in any other audio app. Pro Tools or Logic in particular. After quiting those apps and trying to launch Live it hangs the whole system after trying to initialize audio ...

With Rewire Live comes out through a channel or channels in Logic.
This is saved with the sessions so yes you save an step and get the benefit of mixing in Logic which I prefer. Rewire is a great thing.

My point? Consider Live the Program from from the point of reference of the writers/programmers and not from the point of the user, and you will be truly shocked at what is being accomplished here. I myself am overjoyed at what Live has give to me as a user, and I am equally thankful that I'm not ...

Try this...Make a stereo Aux track>Set volume to Unity>Insert Live>
Set Aux output to bus 1-2>Make stereo audio track>set input to bus 1-2>Record Live to audio track>viola!
Live should NOT be on an Audio Track insert.
Turn OFF Low Latency Monitoring.

Yes, thank you Ableton for creating such a wonderful tool. If you can't make music and be inspired to make music with this then you're just not trying. Kudos to Ableton. I look forward to the future versions of Live while enjoying the present.

Well worth the money and it works great.
This just keep getting better,

I bought it right away. Sometimes I just need to sketch out some ideas quickly and it's great for that. That bad part is since it is a rewire master you can't use VST plugs but a small price for the convinence. When he implements play by space bar and scrolling by grabbing the picture it will be ...
