ok thanks.
Yeah, could get a 1TB M.2 SSD and about 16 GB RAM, the system could be half-decent for it's size.

Hi,
Was just wondering if anyone had experience/comments using the Rzyen 7 4800U for Ableton work.
This chip is a low-power one (about 25W) and can be found in some laptops or mini-pcs (i.e. ASUS PN50), was just wondering if anyone had run the Ableton Live Performance Test or similar.
Thanks.

Hi,
I can send Program Change messages from a MIDI track in Ableton Live to an audio track which contains the S-gear2 VST, and the presets do change. However, in the device view box it only says "Program 0" (or something like that as I'm not by my home laptop at the moment) and not "American Clean ...

So I've got some VSTs in an instrument rack and I send Program Changes and see the presets change for the currently selected VST in the instrument rack.
