The latest version of the Beta (12.0.5b1) no longer produces a delay when opening and closing the key map window, but things are otherwise unchanged. I'm still experiencing the same excessive load times when opening / dragging in the same range of projects. The GUI lag when clicking around the proje...

My saving framework has a "Loops" project folder organized by month. Midway through October of 2022 is where the bug begins, at least for the Loops projects. "L27" was created on October 12, 2022. It opens in Live 12 without triggering the lag. The same is true of all the loops t...

Some Notes Following Further Testing 1: All of the same things happened when trying to open one of my Live 11 projects on a different computer that had never previously had a copy of Ableton installed. 2: The lag does not happen to all of my Live 11 projects, only those created after a certain date,...

Even the most extreme projects don't max out the available processing power. So if you're having trouble with spikes and CPU overloads I would imagine any high end laptop from...

For anyone stumbling across this thread in the future: Based on testing, reading, and replies here and elsewhere, I feel Ableton's poor performance is most likely a fault of the software itself. Without any way to know when and if performance will be overhauled, the best way to minimize project load...

Over the last week I’ve been trying to answer the following question: Is Ableton inherently slow? Background: I’ve been a daily Ableton user for the last five years. It has been my DAW of choice from the beginning and until recently it was the only one I’d ever used. Since the release of Live 10 I b...
