Re: New Apple machine with 8th Gen i7 (Mac mini) running badly

Interesting. I do wonder if my issues stem from a second screen on a USB C port. I’d rather not have to shell out for a mostly pointless egpu for audio though. Then give it a try w/o second monitor. A guy from Ableton support also gave me a hint to try different screen resolutions. That also helped...

Re: New Apple machine with 8th Gen i7 (Mac mini) running badly

Update from my side: I'm using an eGPU now with monitor attached to the external unit. Problems gone completely.

Re: New Apple machine with 8th Gen i7 (Mac mini) running badly

But I'm a bit unsure, because I read various positive reviews about the `18 mini w/ Ableton. Meanwhile I found that the combination of FabFilter plugins and Ableton causes the most CPU troubles on my system. Every instance of FF-R (or some other FF) causes about 10% to 20% CPU usage. This is not the...

Re: New Apple machine with 8th Gen i7 (Mac mini) running badly

I also have this problem. Mac mini 2018 i5 (6 core 3GHz). I loaded a project which I created on my previous computer (iMac 27" i7, late 2012). I was very surprised that the new Mac mini is performing very very bad with Ableton Live. My old computer was able to handle the project. But on the Mac...

Re: Discrepancies between Ableton CPU meter and the system CPU

On my system it's quite opposite: Live's CPU meter is way lower than the OSX meter. I have a C2D 2,4 GHz . I think Live measures only its own audio processing stuff but doesn't take care of 3rd party plugin CPU utilization (VSTs/AUs). For my experience the audio starts dropping when the OSX meter go...

Re: MIDI issue with my Virus T1

I would try this: Save the Virus sound patches (if changed) and drop/re-create the plugin instance.

Yupp, sounds like some pitched percussions with synced delays. I would try FabFilter Timless for the delays. They have some nice presets which also uses filters and stuff.

Re: Howto : Make Ableton use Less CPU in OSX

Some times ago I used CoolBook (http://coolbook.se/). Obviously it fixed some SpeedStep issues on OSX. I had a lot better CPU performance in Live and NI Traktor. Later I removed CoolBook because I suspected issues with early NI Maschine drivers. Meanwhile I think the SpeedStep issues in OSX are fixe...

Re: "Make me sound like old transistor radio" how to ideas plz

I'd try a bandpass filter. AM radios have audio bandwith cutoff at ca. 4.5 Khz.
Maybe a speaker simulation can help too.

All you need to get excited is some uncommented GUI mockups? Not even complete mockups, just tiles? Oh wow. 8O

Re: Maschine users - tell me about your workflow?

I always use Maschine as a VST. I usually start with Maschine as the first instrument in my projects. At a certain point in the work I begin to route some of Maschine's instruments to different tracks into Live. So I have different tracks for Kick, Snare, HHs and so on. This makes it easier to apply...

Re: Newb Question: Korg Electribes - Why would you want one?

I own the EMX. Bought it before I used Live. Now I use it only in some rare situations. The hardware step sequencer is nice to use. I trigger soft synth sounds with it. Sometimes I also like the trashy oldschool synth sounds of the EMX.
