Suitable graphics card

Hi all,

Am looking to upgrade ancient laptop to a new one (PC).

Anyone had issues in Live with Intel Iris integrated graphics?
Or is it better to go with Nvidia dedicated?

Thanks in advance

Re: Launchpad not recognised by laptop / USB failure?

Have had similar problem with a Launch Control and a 2012 laptop.. Not an Ableton thing, more likely the laptop. Tried different USB cables? USB cables are not all created equal. Go to device manager and see if you have loads of USB devices/connections there - could there be a conflict? Get rid of g...

Re: Best way to record live looping performances with mix of real and soft instruments

One hiccup. It seems that the midi "input" channels (ie, the ones that have the sounds assigned and pass audio to the recording armed channels) respond to midi messages whether or not they are selected. I can disable this by not monitoring the input channel, but that seems like a pain to ...

Re: Best way to record live looping performances with mix of real and soft instruments

What's the logic behind separating the instrument/midi tracks? I keep them separated so that the record tracks are all in one place - so I can, er, keep track of them. :mrgreen: In my live rig, I record Mic in, Gtr in, Gtr FX, Midi instruments, Loopers and send FX on different tracks. They are all ...

Re: Best way to record live looping performances with mix of real and soft instruments

I have one button assigned on a controller that arms a bunch of selected tracks for record. I do live looping and other live recordings in session view. All the tracks are in sync. Anything useful can be put into arrangement view later. Another midi button selects a new scene for recording and anoth...

Re: Video not working in Ableton Live 10

Have you selected integrated graphics to run with Live and not an external GPU such as Nvidia? That often helps

Re: GUI colors

Solved.

As soon as I chose force Live to use Integrated Graphics as opposed to NVIDIA, the wierdness went away.

10.1.13 download link?

I would like to reinstall this version. Any later version takes ages to load a set containing video.

Download archive appears to have 10.0.6 or 10.1.25 only.

are there any other links to previous versions?

Many thanks

Re: GUI colors

That's the Live 10 Dark theme. So to continue the story - I had a similar problem with Live 9 today, after having Black screen and no boot up, right before an online gig...ugh. (Live 9 looking like a new installation and asking to authorize). Meanwhile, the Live 10 theme colors went back to normal. ...

Re: Video Issue: "..could not be read ..." HELP!!

Another item to note. With my aging system, video files won't import immediately to the timeline. After I click on them in the browser, it takes a minute for Live to read them, draw a waveform etc and only then it is possible to drag the clip into the arrange page. So if anyone is getting frustrated...

GUI colors

Quick question - I just installed 10.1.25 (after my previous version did a brain dump and appeared as a new installation, requesting authorisation 8O ) and all the dark themes are REALLY dark and clip colors are almost flourescent ( in the tweak options they go from super dark to super light and not...

Re: Composing to Video - Out of Sync on Export

Have you tried importing the video in another format? just a thought. I'm doing scene edits for a film in Ableton and the picture editor is sending me AAFs plus MOV video files. I put the MOV in the arrangement page, organise the audio clips and then export a WAV to send to the editor. No sync issue...
