Re: Updated to 11.3.2, now sits on "Starting Max.." for ages

It must be something more specific to some systems, because I didn't notice any change on my machine (a M1 pro running Monterey). Ugh, perplexing! Good to know, thanks.. I'm still on Monterey too (12.6.5) and my system is pretty stable in terms of what is installed. Yeah, I'm gonna have a more thor...

Re: Updated to 11.3.2, now sits on "Starting Max.." for ages

It is not just you, I have the same issue since updating to 11.3.2. The 11.3 Beta also exhibits the same issue. I've tried all sorts to resolve it. It's happening on my older Intel Macbook with Monteray as well as an M1 Macbook on Ventura. I have reported it to Ableton support, but it's early days....

Re: Running Push 2/Live 9 with closed Macbook lid

Recent generations of MacBook Pro no longer vent through the keyboard, they do so through the sides and at the rear. I run my 2017 MBP closed when I'm in the studio, with Push 2 and don't have any issues. I rarely exceed ~45% CPU for an extended period of time though so YMMV if your own sets are mor...

Re: DUB MACHINES, Anyone?

Idle should be less than 10%. Although the device manages CPU load based on its state, so it is possible to use it at less (and more) CPU. "State" here mainly means what 'Mode' and 'Character' and 'Processing' settings are set. The other thing to remember is that, because of a combination...

Re: Live 9 and Konnekt 6 experiences on Mac OS X?

I have a Konnekt 6 and use it with Live 9 on a Retina 15" MBP via a Thunderbolt > FW cable. I don't have any issues, but you would need to be more specific about what kind of circumstances you are thinking of in the following statement - Especially interested in CPU percentage usage of the driv...

Re: Push DrumRack Sample Selection .. Again ;)

Hi, No you aren't doing anything wrong - that threw me at first too, having heard everyone mention 'sample hot-swapping' before I got my Push.. unfortunately this is a misconception as it is actually pad/cell hot-swapping that is occurring, it just so happens that samples are one of the things you c...

Re: Katy Perry Mixer - "Ableton sounded terrible" (SoundonSound)

Ahem.. In our interview, Sandy Vee is very enthusiastic about Nuendo, and also appears to use plug-ins made by Waves and Universal Audio almost exclusively. While his enthusiasm comes across as very genuine, he’s happy to divulge that he’s endorsed by the likes of Steinberg , Waves, Universal Audio,...

Re: Un-installed M4L but can't get rid of M4L preset 'folders'

I think I have fixed it! A single Library but multiple folders one level up reflecting versions of Live 8 I had previously installed in ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton, e.g. Live 8.1 Live 8.2 etc. I am currently using 8.2.2 so I deleted the following - ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Liv...

Un-installed M4L but can't get rid of M4L preset 'folders'

Hi I sold my M4L license and subsequently un-installed M4L by - > Deleting the Max folder from /Applications > Un-installing any M4L Live Packs > Re-authorising Live after the M4L license was removed from my Ableton account What I can't get rid of are these 'ghost' M4L preset folders in the browser,...

Re: Think Ableton is really going bankrupt and out of biz?

I'm far less interested in programming Live from the living room with an iFad and max patching than I am in Live STEPPING UP WITH PROPER DAW FEATURES. I don't use other DAWs but from what I hear Live's Arrange view compared to other DAWs is a joke, for example. to hell with the gadgetry, get the ba...
