does it repeat if you plug the Akai back in?

Sometimes you have to check if USB devices are in power saving. Sometimes a Windows update will undo small things.

I had this happen with my Novation mk4. It froze al of my DAWs. The fix was to unplug it and put it back.

Live is probably seeking that device you removed. It also depends on the device

Uhh - don't quite understand your reply. I look up solutions to issues all the time online. AI is great at providing solutions to many Linux issues. There is a larger support and user base with Linux than any other OS.

Uh no they are not.............

Delusional

Yes, us Linux users are a myth. This is why Linux desktop adoption increase 240% this past year, Windows 11 marketshare is declining and Windows 7 went up 5% because people don't want a bloated OS that steals your data, shows nonstop ads and tries to upsell you Microsoft services on your desktop ...

I mean, they weren’t wrong. Who uses a Mac to make music these days? No one.

:x


that can only be sarcasm

Hanz Zimmer uses PC because his systems are custom built and can be upgraded without throwing everything away. Most professional in the composing industry use custom built systems. Any ...

No guarantee audio interfaces will work. There are all kinds of lists online of class compliant audio interfaces that work on Linux. My point was that even for Mac and Windows I don't see the logic of getting an interface that cannot work without a driver anymore.

if one wants to use ASIO4ALL ...

and just about every DAW out there, Pro Tools is still the industry standard, Cubase/Nunedo is the standard in the film indiustry

No guarantee audio interfaces will work.

if one wants to use ASIO4ALL and think they're cool for using Linux, by all means go at it

One will be waiting a long time ...

a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

when you have issue with Linux - search the web for solutions and still no answer

a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

I get it as both Apple and MS want to take more control but if you are using hardware that requires drives forget about it. I know some swear by Linux but some of us rely on 3rd party software/hardware.

Isn't Live already on Linux with that self ...

Could be the previous were side by side. Live always asks if you want it to overwrite the older version.
There is also a db file that will increase if you add folders under places.

You didn't lose anything

Does the plugin load?
It could be a registry issue.

at least not.........delusional

The reality taken from a professional DAW builder

What problem/s does a Linux DAW solve?

Latency?
Compatibility?
Performance?

The short answer is none of the above.



What is "Lame ***" is Linux as a DAW platform.

20+ years behind Mac and PC
Far fewer ...

Due to Microsoft's philosophy of wanting to control everything on users' private computers down to the smallest detail and ultimately offering more and more software as a pure subscription model, I think the number of Linux users will continue to rise. In the near future, this growth will likely ...

Still waiting for the Great Pumpkin. The land of Delusion. Like Ableton is going to release their source code. If they did it wouldn't be free and developers paying that are going to want more than a Live license. Keep living in that land of delusion.

Live is pretty much the only reason I cannot completely switch to Linux, and it's getting quite frustrating as time goes by, especially since the current options for OS are both becoming so much worse.


Same for me, would love to see linux version. And as other vendors support it (and it runs ...
