Re: Live 12 empty set eats 53% CPU/kills battery on M1Max at idle

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.

Re: Live 12 empty set eats 53% CPU/kills battery on M1Max at idle

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 usa...

Re: Live 12 performance

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 reactiv...

Re: Ableton Sample Rate Change

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 c...

Re: Midi 2.0 implementation in Ableton

As it appears that the increased coding acitivity at Ableton - induced by the dramatic efficiency and feature progress in LPX, Reaper and Bitwig - indicates fixing Version 11 what should have been already in Version 10… Ableton should first rewrite their Audio Engine and Audio Routing setup instead ...

Do not guess. MIDI 2.0 is fully backwards compatible to MIDI Version 1.

Re: Define Clips as independent from Scene launch

On the APC shift-up-down will move by 5, and shift left-right by 8. EDIT : I don't have APC, so if your matrix is right, it means that "shift right" goes right by 8 rows, and "shift down" is only going down by one row. Then I understand your problem. I have launchpad, and with la...

Re: Define Clips as independent from Scene launch

Good idea. In fact I have no problem. I just put forward another flexible method of nxm matrix management, which may make session management easier when performing live with several Keyboards and softwareinstruments. And remembering is not so hard, as you setup the session and work with it, so you w...

Re: Define Clips as independent from Scene launch

Yea, you are perfectly right. I wondered that the dropdown-menue in clip-launch-mode does not offer that option.

Re: Define Clips as independent from Scene launch

Thanks for the hint. I understand the paradigma and I will try it with that method. But this way one uses a lot of real estate in session view, as I explained before. I disagree regarding stop button and session overview, because both have different properties. When pressing shift on the APC 40, eac...

Programmable session overview buttons

Allow the user to define what clip-matrix-area is represented by a session overview button in APC 20/40 or in Launchpad. When pressing shift on the APC 40, each button represents a 8x5 array of slots. Stepping through the arrays is fixed, the anchors for each possible array are (n = rows, m = column...
