The GPU acceleration in Live 11 and Live 12 both target Metal V2 to be as widely compatible as possible.


Ok, if that is the case that's fine as a DAW like Live probably very likely does not need the features introduced in Metal V3.


As each application is programmed differently, I can't ...

Good luck with support — I wouldn’t expect any truly helpful advice from them, though.


Well, I wouldn't be that negative. If we look at the development of (bigger) software companies the last 20 - 30 years - and this appears to be true for other businesses too - support today isn't support ...

Hi.

I would like to put forward that although Live 11 is at 11.3.41 now it still exhibits fatal Metal GPU errors concerning the Metal command buffer on Intel systems which make Live 11 basically unusable as the GUI will freeze very fast. When running Live 11.3.41 or 11.3.35 and viewing the Console ...

Question's in the title...

I'm not quite wild enough to have done the upgrade yet on 2nd day of release, but anyone here done so? Or done a load of beta testing? Any issues? Performance the same? Any weird glitches? All plugins work?


Well, you probably know that you can find out easily without ...

Hi.

I am afraid but from the information you provided you are trying to expect enterprise networkperformance with hobby hardware tools. Also there is information missing on what Yottamaster RAID you have and what specs the router has. I would advise you to make yourself familiar with read/write ...

It's about how Live uses its database and the XMP files containing collection and tag information (and maybe some other files).


Yes, I should have thought of that by myself - centralized app databases. That implies that measures must be taken that multiple instances do not write to the same ...

Hi there,
So just wonder if anyone know about the risk of using Live, running under a Non-administrator account account? Would it less stable?


Where did you read that information ? Source ? In fact good professional practice is to do non-admin work on a computer with a Non-Administrator ...

You can open multiple instance of Live on mac, but for this you need multiple Live versions (e.g L12.0.10 and L12.0.25).
Only the version open first will give you full access to the Browser though.


Well, on UNIX you can launch as many instances of an app as the hardware allows to. Apple does ...

There’s a push in the software/music industry to remove references to master and slave relationships, Ableton is just doing what many music and software companies are doing.


With all due respect I am highly convinced that if moderators would like to master their role - and beyond that the ...

Ok. The reply then makes it clear that this is a workaround - as the code in the options textfile is denoted as that and the scheduling of P and E - cores is moved to a hard xor line of code in the options textfile, which raises the question of technical depth of the Live audio engine.

Yes, this behavior has ben present in the betas too. In my case (M1Max, latest macOS 14.4) L12 yields an idle activity around 45% - 55%. It is not quite clear to mee if this is a „bug” (which I reckon it isn't) or a temporary behavior in which the Live process executes a phantom process to force ...

Generally speaking, L12 is just about the same as L11 in terms of CPU usage.


This is not true on my machine:

• Macbook Pro M1Max
• Blank default session
• Idle CPU usage - no indexing or analysis (or all indexing and analysis done)

Live 11.3.21 (2024-01-22_5ac24cad7c): 12 % CPU average, 190 ...

Your report is unfortunately not very helpful to spot exactly what the problem is, because it just discribes a phenomenon. In any digital system with more than one device there needs to be

- a Clock source (Master)
- the Slaves need to adjust to the master sample rate (Slaves) (leaving sample rate ...
