Ableton Forum

I have reason and the drums 2.0, but that's pretty much the only reason I use reason, and would love to be able to cut it down to just one program if the session drums can hold a candle to drums 2.0. Thoughts?

i want better exploitation of what vista offers.

in the end, vista will kill xp in terms of daw performance, but right now driver support as well as applications taking advantage of what vista offers isn't happening as fast as it could.

Same here. Vista really has the ability to be a first-class DAW OS now, people just have to program to take advantage of what it offers.

So it should be possible for Ableton then..Now that is intereresting. Wonder if they've been looking into it for Live7 ? Considering what a huge benefit it will be for audio, I can't imagine they aren't, but everyone should know some of the potential built into Vista if people only program for it. ...

I was under the impression that this will only work within the WaveRT driver architecture, not ASIO. WaveRT is PCI only - no Firewire or USB. That kind of excludes most people with a portable setup. Correct me if I'm wrong. you are -- this is not driver related, this is related to software and cpu ...

Pro Audio gets the "High" tag -- a friend shows this to me on Cakewalk and he was able to open up a bunch of stuff in the middle of playback of a very heavy set and it didn't miss a beat because the CPU gave Cakewalk first priority on the CPU so it got everything it needed and all other ap...

Because this is a pretty fantastic feature of Vista for audio apps.

I have found Vista to be faster on multi-core systems, but XP is still faster on single core.

thank you for making this announcement. i look forward to seeing what vista's improved audio stack can mean for live's performance.

i have a free copy of business, so i'll be going with that.

You do realize that 2009 in Microsoft speak means 2012 in the real world, right?

Plate 140 on the UAD.

Yup.

i have a friend who had one for pc and it had the problem of cutting out all the time -- he stuck with it to try and fix it for awhile, but in the end he gave up and just got a firebox (which seems to have worked out for him).

wild. it was nice of them to jack up the price of the canon elura 100 as soon as it won camera of the year, btw. i'm sure they are still moving a ton of them, though.
