Chiral works flawlessly for me. Opal is limited. The other Fors stuff seems to work just fine.

You can disable automatic warping in the Preferences menu. The session and arrangement clips are different by design. This allows you to do stuff like "perform into arrangement". Session is best for sketching out ideas and making loops, which you then drag into / perform into arrangement v...

Are you using WiFi or Bluetooth?

Any other programs running?

Run WhySoSlow or LatencyMon and post the results.

The Ableton Live CPU meter is really the buffer utilization meter. What are your settings for sample rate and buffer size? You can have almost zero CPU utilization (Task Manager) and high Ableton Live "CPU" (buffer) utilization if you're running an extremely low buffer size, like 32 samples.

ASIO4ALL is just a wrapper around the Windows audio APIs. You will need an audio interface with an official ASIO driver in order to get low latency. You can get a high quality interface like the MOTU M2 without spending a lot of money. If you have a Realtek chipset, you may be able to install the Re...

I use this little monster to power my laptop: https://slimq.life/products/330w-laptop-charger It is able to power the laptop and a couple of USB-C PD devices at the same time, as long as I'm not trying to pull down 300w to the laptop when doing something intense while also trying to pull down 100w *...

I had the exact same issue with Push 3 SA losing its auth after an upgrade. No response from Ableton in over a week, but I joined the Push 3 beta, and 12.0b30 authed without any issues, so I'm using that until the official 12.0 image releases.

I copied a bunch of .alp files to the Push 3 SA as described above, and rebooted a couple of times, but they never show up. I'm going to keep investigating, but perhaps someone already knows what might be preventing the packs from showing up? It's a combination of third party packs from Fors and som...

Just from the info in your post, I am 90% sure that this is a CPU thermal issue, probably due to a bad paste/heatsink. What are your current temps / voltage / etc.? If you have some sort of performance monitor running while you attempt to load Live devices, what spikes do you see? CPU? RAM? SSD/HDD ...

27" is too small for curved to be worth it. Curved makes sense at about 32 ultrawide and upward. 1080 on 24" looks great. 1080 on 27" looks like garbage. 1440p on 27" is the "sweet spot" between 1080 on smaller screens and 4k on huge screens. At that price point, get an...

Culprate uses Operator for just about everything.

Analog is very "meh" compared to all the other virtual analog synth options out there, but Operator is quite versatile.

https://i.imgur.com/1GLrlMr.png Windows 8.1 Pro 27" 1440p (2560x1440) 100% zoom level Default font settings for my OS Live works perfectly. The only insight I had was that 1440p is amazing, 4k is overkill, and 1080p feels constraining. I used to use another 1440p, as well as a 4k monitor. The ...

That piano/bell sound just has a thick reverb that's probably only affecting the high end. Just throw on a reverb unit and go to town.
