Just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series Core i7 system and I had the same problem out of the box. The CPU load was all over the place, horrible performance. I found that disabling Intel SpeedStep in the BIOS fixed the issue.

What sound card do you use? Is it syncing ok to an external device with Live 6?

I'm trying to start working in Live 6 after using Live 5 for some time. In my studio, I need to sync my audio card to my external D/A convertors. In Live 5, there was a preference in the Audio section called "Clock Source". This allowed folks like me to set the Clock Source on their sound card, e.g ...

I've downloaded the manual for the L22. Have you tried changing the clock source both before and after opening live from the L22 Mixer?

Are you using it with the manufacturer's ASIO drivers or with something 3rd party (asio4all or similar)?
Yep, definitely tried that. Yeah, latest drivers from ...

Just for stability purposes I can understand why Live would want to be the clock source. Clock drift would cause pops and clicks and all the internal math for the DSPs would have to change according to the detected rate. It might say 48kHz on the D/A but it's more like 48,001 Hz, at best.

You have ...

That's right, sorry for not being specific, I don't mean PCM, I mean AES/EBU/SPDIF signals specifically.

I tried that, believe me. There is a setting for my sound card to define the clock source, in my case I'm not using word clock, I'm using AES, "Digital" in the Lynx control panel. However, Live ...

Digital audio signals have a clock embedded to lock the convertor rate (e.g. to 44100 KHz) If you have external D/A convertors or some other more complex setup, something has to be set as the master clock with the other devices syncing to it.

It sure would be odd that as Ableton is adding more pro ...

Go hang a salami, i'm a lasagna hog

Yes absolutely! Complete PDC and Mackie Control support, and I would never look at SX again!

Yea, I used to use PlayerPro on my old Mac Performa! It's actually probably the most modernized tracker ever made, and let alone for the Mac, I just wished that he had made a PC version. It was great, and I think it's still out there...

Here we go, some links:

I'm with you, this feature is a no-brainer and I have needed it many times, particularly when a track has loaded FX and/or FX routing.

I've been using Kent's workaround mentioned instead but I can't imagine why this has been overlooked so far.

Just gotta have that Mackie Control support. When using Live the poor mixer is just sitting there collecting dust, would absolutely LOVE to use them together.
The weird thing is, I remember going to an LA NAMM show a couple of years ago where Ableton was in the Mackie booth demoing Live with Mackie ...

Just picked up Live 2 upgrade last week..wow! The improvement in quality/flexibility of the time-stretching is impressive! (not to mention the much-needed ability to bypass), I am very happy with this upgrade, thanks Ableton! :D

A couple of support questions for my Mackie gear:

I would find this very useful, however I can be of no help for programming. I hope that Acid files are at some point supported if not directly by Ableton. Maybe they can help you out?
