I just learned that my norton security for my offline iMac Pro 8 Core was killing my performance and access to my 16TB HD. The moment I uninstalled norton these things happened. 1. I no longer need to plug and unplug my 16TB HD after restarting the iMac Pro. 2. Adding midi tracks in live 10 and cuba...

Thanks Tarekith. I will just do it the old school way and bounce out my playing into WAV and put it back into maschine, groove agent, etc. Did I mention these curated Live 10 suite libraries are good?

There shouldn't be. There is plugin delay compensation in live anyways so you are good either ways. There is no performance bump.

For example I installed build and drop on my external drive and I can see it in live. I would like to be able to get these .aif files and batch convert so I can use them in groove agent 5 and battery 4

Yes it works fine.

Did you sign up for beta? I I had an issue with my iMac prop on 10.04 where push2 would freeze. 10.05 is much more stable for me.

Not redundant at all. That single fader can do wonders with minimal desk space lost. Can a mouse do the same thing? Yes. In live I use the push 2 mute and solo buttons to catch things during a mixdowns session but prefer the mouse to control track volume. With this controller the most useful buttons...

Live, MPC 2.2, and Maschine 2.7 are great for writing the loops, verse, chorus, etc.

Protools, Cubase, and anything else with similar mixing tools will also help you get your ideas to sound clear.

If you can find an 8 core mac pro (trash can) you should be more than good. If you are mac pro shopping try to get a 6 or 8 core model because each core can do better processing for each track. I use a base model iMac Pro with 8 cores and my CPU doesn't really move mean using live 10.0.2 It took me ...

They're built well so there's no shame in getting it used or b stock. I've had mine since it was released. I probably have 300 play hours on it. Still runs like a champ.

You won’t need push 2. I have push 2, but usually I just use the mpd232 for drums, my prophet 6 for keys. The best thing about 10 suite is the soundpacks they put out. It’s one of the best curated packs I’ve ever heard. I remember buying maschine studio for the sounds, but the sound packs in 10 are ...

Surely using the Intel Xeon W processors must be considered cheating and be held inadmissible? Please…

True . I gave up with my MacBook Pro 2014 i7 so I went and upgraded. It's overkill I know.

I ran 54 instances of Reaktor 6 and two drum racks on the iMac Pro. I hit 51% CPU

Anyone got a recent version of this test? I want to see what my 8 core iMac pro can do.

1 week on live 5. A lot of practicing and figuring stuff out after reading the manual. I spent a lot of time going over the manual and tutorials to get where I want. The main thing is to practice and help others in your journey. You learn other things along the way. :mrgreen: Back in live 5 days I h...
