Ableton Forum

just do a quick search over this forum. It's not unusual... I'm with you. I use live on a tiBook 867 and I am definetly not happy with my cpu load, but... well... it's a mac :-)

thanks a lot! Exatctly what I needed to know! I think I'll give it a try...

Hi all,

I'm currently using live 2.03 on a G4 tiBook 867, OS 10.2.4 and feel like adding an external audio card to my setup. Due to my focus on very low latency (at least under 10ms) I wonder wheter an RME Hammerfall DSP PC-Card w/ Multiface would suit my needs or not. I usually use up to 10 Tracks ...

Hmm... depends on the kind of music you produce. I'm into that Experimental Noise / Power Electronics thing and this is a pretty small scene. Everybody knows eachother. One can say that everybody who's listening to this kind of music is producing it as well. so it's a good way to find new friends ...

I get about six to eight tracks with some mda vst plugins. a real killer (in a bad sense) is the built-in reverb with shoots my cpu usage quickly beyond 60 percent. and this is when the interface becomes sluggish and nothing works without an obvious latency. Interesting: It seems that it doesn't ...

I also would pay for a major update that consists of some performance optimisations for g4. in case ableton is still wondering whether to do it or not - how many pros did you see doing a performance on a win-based laptop? just go to the clubs and see what happens. of course the vaios and dells do ...

You can run reason in rewire slave mode. That means every channel of reason can be forced to play into a track of ableton live where you can use your vst plug-ins to edit the sound in real-time. it works great!

sorry to all, but maybe I have to answer kitchen right here, cause i'm not quite shure if I have the correct e-mail address.

to make a long story short: i receive most of the dates directly from the clubs/promoters and have the agreement with some of them to not promote their address ...

you're right - it's off-topic. i'll contact you via e-mail...

thanx to all.

talking about ramdisks: as far as I know there's no tool for os x yet. Im testing a handcrafted beta-state tool from our well-known fellow Alex but I'm not too shure whether this is a good a idea for a stage show...

How about an external 7200rpm firewire HDD? As far as I know the ...

Thanx four your hints. I'll try that out!

Thanks four our advice. I don't use an external audiodevice by now but it seems like i will try out the RME-Cardbus-System - but not right now since I don't like their pricing (although I don't think they'll lower it).

I still have a question: How can I use one reverb for many channels? Is it ...

Hi all,

I'm using Live 2.0.1 for a few weeks now and wonder if I can increase the overall performance of this pretty cool tool. My setup: TiBook G4 867, 768 MB Ram, 30 GB Harddisk (with a 14 GB partition only for soundfiles), OS X 2.3, Oxygen 8

My Proposals: Chopping Samples as short as possible ...
