Best to contact support@ableton.com and see if they can help you if you don't get any more advice here.

Looking deeply into my crystal ball I predict that 98% of people out there will deal with any hiccups like they always do because the benefits of using MacOS outweigh the occasional teething issues for the majority of people who are already invested in that platform.

You can master either by bouncing down to a stereo file and importing to a new session, or just adding mastering processors to your master track. For the most part it really doesn't matter and is just a matter of preference. The first method is nice because you free up some CPU for your heavy hittin...

For me it's mostly about sketching out ideas early on in the process, finding sounds that work well together and playing them to create a groove I like. Once I get to the arranging or mixing phase, I switch to the laptop though as I just find it easier to use the mouse/trackpad for the detailed stuff.

Live 9 isn't officially compatible with Mojave either though.

You definitely don't NEED to worry about mastering and what not for this, especially since you're editing tracks that have already been mastered. If you now make your edits and they sound good enough to you in your sets, then by all means keep it simple and just work that way. You can always slowly ...

Yep!

Doesn't matter, once you convert it to mp3 the first time you are throwing away 80-90% of the audio information in the wav file and you can get it back. Reconverting to wav just changes the file type, it doesn't restore the missing information.

Also check that the start marker in each recorded clip is actually at the beginning of the clip, I've seen Live dork it a few times and offset it slightly if you had autowarp on as described above.

If they are altered a great deal, then you're already complying with the Ableton EULA. Not sure what kind of documentation you would need, but the best I can do is suggest you contact support@ableton.com for any further clarification.

Send me a link to one of the problematic mp3s via PMs and I can take a look at it for you if you want. You can also send it to me via the uploader in my forum signature.

My Line6 Stomp HX is the same way, 48k or nothing

Yeah, I mean I was running Live on a core duo laptop with a 4200 RPM drive just for the music I was making like 12 years ago. So yes, you can definitely use that laptop to make music with Live, but obviously you can't just go crazy with all sorts of software instruments and effects like you could wi...

Running everything at different sample rates probably isn't helping.

Thanks for letting us know.
