Hmmm.... well I think we all have good points here.

What I'm trying to understand is how hardcore orchestral composers are getting up to 100 instruments through-out a 20 minute composition, tapping into various VSTs, Gigasampler, etc... A friend of mine uses Sonar and has a dedicated PC for ...

DAMN, LIVE is a f'ing pig bastard!

I'd still love to know if ANYONe is able to get 20-30 tracks with VSTs out of this sucker?? I mean, I just had 2 sampletanks going... and 1 audio track with Guitar Rig, and the bastard got stuck playing the track I wrote... choking up... LIVE just got owned, and I ...

I knew someone would try to blame it on Sampletank... sorry I get the same poor performance out of LIVE with just about any combination of VSTs... if I have 2 KORG Legacy Cells going, and a few NI GuitarRigs... I am already at 70%.

Any advice on how to achieve better performance? OR, what kind of ...

Is it me, or does LIVE require a super computer to compose more than 3 or 4 tracks?

I have an Athlon 1.5Ghz w/ 500MB of ram, and I am at 70% with only 3 midi tracks (each using sampletank).

I can stack 30 tracks of midi in REASON w/ no problems... is LIVE a pig or what?!

Man I can not believe this simple feature is not readily available in LIVE?! What kind of sucka LIVE tool is this?? (not to mention everytime I run Reaktor4 VST in it, the bastard crashes....)

Can someone be more specific? I don't see anything on the "right hand side" and if you are referring to the Orig. BPM setting in the scene, it is be overridden by the global project tempo.

Help... this should be simple.

I am trying to setup LIVE for a live performance, by importing a ton of loops. For example, I have 10 samples per song, and 2 songs loaded in right now.. for a total of 20 loops. The first set of 10 loops is at a tempo of 92, and the 2nd set of 10 loops are at a tempo of 111. The global project ...

I believe my problem is the Native Instruments VST plugin, GUITAR RIG. Everytime I assign that sucker to an audio track, my CPU usage jumps by 5-10% UGGGHHHH.... which sucks, cause it rocks.

Any advice on how to optimize this?

I've got 500MB ram, and an Athlon 2500, which has provided me a good 25-30 audio tracks in ACID, with up to 6 buses of VST effects.... and NEVER had a problem...

But with LIVE.. I only have 8 audio tracks, and 2 buses of VST effects, and it is at 75% CPU Load and choking like MAD!!!

Any advice to ...
