Ableton Forum

This topic has already been discussed many times here in the forum.

In principle, yes, you need a lot of single-core power and multiple times. You can never have enough RAM. An SSD or several of them is a must. And if you're buying new, you shouldn't skimp on storage space either.
But if you only ...

This reads like a problem with the screen resolution. You can try the following. Right-click in the browser (left side) on the corresponding plugin and switch the display settings (can also be reset). Restart the plugin.

You can create your notes in a midi track. You can also route the midi signal of this track to any number of other tracks in order to use these notes there. To do this, you set where your midi notes should come from in the target track.

I am of the opinion that a demo track is subject to copyright in any case. That is in the nature of things and is obvious - if you think about it. Anyone could publish the demo tracks and claim them for themselves. Would that work? I don't think so.

In your case, you have already recognized ...

@zsteinkamp:
Great devices you've created there. I will try them out. Thanks for sharing!

Because the M4 pro (depending on the variant) has fewer performance cores than the m1 pro. And Ableton Live, like many other DAWs, only uses the performance cores.

And these marketing benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt.

You should definitely use the ASIO drivers from the audio interface manufacturer: Focusrite ASIO. Anything else will not work satisfactorily in terms of latency.

The settings for this ASIO driver must first be made in the manufacturer's software (Focusrite): Sample rate and buffer size.

Sample ...

The keyword here is: audio latency. THE main problem when making music with a computer.
You need an audio interface with an ASIO driver that gives you low latency. The decisive factors here are properly programmed drivers, good driver support and a suitable computer.

On the one hand, you have an ...

start latencymon and check whether your laptop could still make it. here you can also find out where the causes lie.

To avoid an abrupt end, I insert a utility into the master track and use an automation curve to insert a fade-out at the end, which ensures that there is no level at the end of the track.

I always define the track length with the activated, cleanly set loop region, which takes decaying effects and ...

The laptop does not appear to be suitable for audio editing. The DPC latencies are the problem.

Why buy an unsuitable laptop?

@benmuetsch:

The point is not the filter, but the display of the frequency band in EQ8, which you can easily check with Spectrum.

Yes, indeed. The display in the EQ8 does not appear to be technically correct. The reference does not describe the spectrum display exactly.
It could be that the frequency response in EQ8 is displayed in dB(A) and in Spectrum in dB(C). But that would not explain the big difference.

I would guess ...

A picture is more meaningful:

pure white noise

white noise with filter

How did you create the white noise?

The white noise that you can generate in Live produces a crooked curve in the spectrum analyzer (blank, without filter).

You need a technically reasonably clean white noise with the same level over the entire frequency range.
