Hi, M1,2,3 apple silicon chips today have an architecture composed of performance and efficiency cores. This was known in the past as a big.LITTLE architecture and did not exist on personal computers, only mobile phones. Nowadays it's both on Mac and PC with Intel's latest offerings as well. This cr...

Thanks for the collaboration offer! About the trace: From the trace only I cannot yet know whether / how much the coordination work is useful or wasteful. This depends on your set and how tracks and audio flow into one another. So ideally we would need to have the set as well to inspect the signal p...

It is not the expected experience with Live, I believe you just encountered a defect that was unfortunately introduced in 11.3. A fix is upcoming (it's in beta)

(Drawing data and analysis is stored in .asd files that Live creates)

Thanks for trying the MaxAudioThreads settings!

I wouldn't try without SMT at this point, it seems more trouble than its worth.

Before disabling SMT, try playing with the Options.txt's -MaxAudioThreads=32 and see if lowering it to 16, 8 helps out. What I see at first glance in the .etl trace is that Live's engine is trying to parallelize as much as possible but the cost of coordinating so many threads appears quite large. Th...

I am sry, that was a bit too optimistic, the smaller dropouts are still there, but CPU load dropped for about 3 percent by the measures taken so far. On the CPU meter, if you toggle "Warn on CPU overload" the indicator next to it will light up when Live has noticed a dropout. Is it toggle...

Hi, I would be curious if you could try setting in your Options.txt the MaxAudioThreads variable, to limit the number of concurrent audio threads, for instance: -MaxAudioThreads=32 On your machine with SMT at the moment Live will by default allocate a large amount of threads, around 64, which might ...

not really, SID files contain a computer program that is meant to run on a C64. There is no note data there, only instructions for the 6502 cpu that will drive a SID chip.

Hey, do you still have problems uploading to soundcloud today?

if they could start by removing last "cmd-F" query when you open the browser, maybe I'll start using it. When you type Cmd-F as a way to quickly open/set focus to the browser, the last query is highlighted and you can type del/backspace to clear it (or anything, to do another kind of sear...

Hi, 100k should not cause any extraordinary performance problems When you say "it TAKES 5+ minutes to lead each session", by session do you mean: - loading / starting up live - or loading / starting up a set - or something else? I have downloaded Prosonic 4 Chord Sets that contains 4 Note...

Hi,

100k should not cause any extraordinary performance problems

When you say "it TAKES 5+ minutes to lead each session", by session do you mean:

- loading / starting up live
- or loading / starting up a set
- or something else?
