Re: Investigating Ableton’s Sluggish UI: Tests, Findings, and Fixes

Great write-up, and thank you for your effort. You highlighted the issue without getting emotional, and your take is truly pragmatic. And we know this topics can get wild.

To be honest, I’ve been complaining on an intellectual level – with examples – since Ableton 6 about the exotic performance and ...

Re: Downgrade to Ableton 12.1.5


There's a new 12.2 beta, soon to be released as final version.

For anyone using the beta, did they fix these crash issues ?

Nightmare. 12.2.b9 - b11 reminds me of the Live 8 / 9 shitshow. Whole UI is sluggish and GPU rendering on my Win 10 workstation is crashing Live every 5mins due to GPU ...

Re: is PDC fixed in 12?

Midi clock / transport signal delay compensation isn't fixed. Your test condition might have been wrong setup.

Re: Grid defaults

1+ for this feature. Yeah insane to request this. I'm stunned I have to Google that. Every Daw has a default piano roll grid setting. In live I have to guess everytime what a grid size I get for the next clip...

Re: Render as Loop question

Render as loop, insert as clip, set clip play marker in at 50% of the clip, render again. Sounds appropriate?

Go back to 10.0.2 font possible?

I just installed the new release and happy to read in the changelog that the typo was optimized. But after opening live not happy anymore. In my opinion a step back and makes it unpleasant to read the UI. Looks like just a Bold version. Not crisp or sharper at all on most places like been told in ...

Re: Who is actually happy with the direction Ableton is going?

Not happy. Total disappointed about 9. Tried the 9 trial, it was crashing or not even starting and I think it burned my ram (was running ableton after live crash serveral times and I had to reset because the Live process could be killed. After that my pc wasn't starting anymore - 4 month young ram ...

I want to WARN every Trial User here! PC DEAD

Well folks. Today was my last Trial day. I worked on a busy session yesterday that I wanted to complete today, but Ableton (9.0.1) freezed on startup. Well like the gorgeous 9.0.2 Update behaviour. I closed it with the appearing Win7 message and openend it again. No startup logo.
So I opened the ...

YES, of course! Totally different story and far away from this context. This could fill an other thread, why its not so wise to limit before compression. Or sidechaining tracks that are compressed in the bus again. :roll:

Re: LIVE 9 : PDC IMPROVED OR NOT ?

Now, really? You guys want to open up a list (or really scary - have this as a wallpaper) and calculate the device chain before you insert a plugin while your producing MUSIC?! :roll:

Re: LIVE 9 : PDC IMPROVED OR NOT ?

Keep the device chains as simple and sparse as possible, and dont do anything fancy with send effects like nested or parallel racks, rythm gates, glitch sequencers, side chaining etc. Render as much as you can to audio and re-allign the audio file if its a bit out of time.

Its only a few projects ...
