Thanks for the advice, everyone. I decided to just use my work laptop for now - a 2015 Dell XPS 13, 2.2GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM ultrabook which has thunderbolt, Windows 10 and supports dual monitors . Selling the MBPro (and my also broke Air) for parts. I'm also now selling my RME Fireface 400 and...

nope, the Core 2 Duo is not a good buy. too old, too slow. Agreed. I just found a 13" Mid 2012 MBPro, 2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5 for $400 on CL. The HD and RAM don't matter cuz I'm gonna swap them out for my own. Does that sound like a decent deal? It has firewire too which is a plus. No video card...

Oh another option (I edited the original post): I'm currently borrowing a buddy's 2009 17" MBPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. He's considered selling it which would probably be on the cheap side. Think that's fast enough to run Abes 10 well? I just need to double the RAM up and thrown in new, big...

3. Just use my work laptop (which I own) - a 2015 Dell XPS 13, 2.2GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM (can I move my mac RAM to my PC?). It's probably a little slower than the 2011 MBPro. ISSUE: No firewire port but I assume there's adaptors out there work well? Unless it has Thunderbolt, no. Looks like it ...

Performance-wise 2013 to 2015 aren't much different to each other, but have set RAM and SSD sizes. Watch out for that. I wouldn't go under 16GB/1TB myself there. In theory the SSD could be replaced, but it's some work to take on. Woah, what?! Not sure if I understand. Are you saying I can't modify ...

So my 2011 MBPro shit the bed and requires a new motherboard. Minimum $400 aftermarket and still a risk of that year's endemic video card failings (which killed mine). So I'm wondering what to do and where to research online (e.g. ableton forum? /r/PCMasterRace? etc.). For the record, I'm trying to ...

I haven't posted on here in maybe... several years, but apparently all the fanboy love turned to hate in the interim? It's nice to see Tarekith is still here, however. Maybe a lot of people on here don't produce or perform original music using traditional instruments. Or maybe I'm lazy or ignorant a...

Anyone got a harmonium / pump organ sample or rack for sampler or simpler?

Been a while since I posted... Basically, I have a MBPro that's probably 3+ yrs. old - 2.33 ghz intel core duo w/ 4 GB RAM running the most updated OSX 10.6. Ableton 8 is updated. I'm also currently playing/recording with very knowledgeable certified ableton instructor who has the same computer, sam...

There's a Chicago Ableton User Group that's pretty active. You can find it on here or via facebook. I know LOTS of ableton users in this city.

if you want to have it out of the way, do it like pitch black. prepare a "no look-at-screen" live set with your apc and put the computer on the floor, backstage, whereever... 303 +1 pitch black have a great setup in that respect. I'm hard at work at the drawing board right now, but that d...

I've seen Prefuse twice now but both times have been outside. Both times were muddy and shitty sounding. Love his albums; hate his live shows. Maybe an indoor show would be better?

FYI, the iPad doesn't have a USB port.

Are there any advantages to the new file format? I'm just wondering why it was changed. Excuse me if I missed comments related to this.

Someone could also just create a custom interface which send commands over regular wifi or bluetooth. That way there could be a custom built interface, which wouldn't just mirror the standard Live GUI (assuming you dont' want all that).
