Re: intel i5 750 cpu good for ableton or i7?

just quoting what customer support told me:


Hyperthreading is not supported by Live, only the presence of multiple physical CPU´s.
Please see also this thread about Win7:

Re: intel i5 750 cpu good for ableton or i7?

I've just built a core i5 box. My understanding is the main difference between i5 and i7 is that i7 uses hyperthreading, which Live does not support at present. My system is running very smoothly with win7 64 bit. I only have my old athlon machine to compare it to though :)

Re: Do you Twitter?

I think it might be an idea from a relative Ableton noob to follow you guys, to see if I can pick up any nuggets of wisdom :)

OK its not the ideal controller as it only has 3 assignable knobs and two sliders, but alongside my APC40 I have enough control for my needs. Its nice small and cute and fits easily on my desk, the analogue sounds are great, it...

Re: RENAMED: POLL: Prophet 08 or Poly Evolver?

I have just bought the Tetra and love it. You have the sub oscillators which really beef up the bass sounds which the prophet doesnt have. Plus 4 note polyphony is enough for my needs. Programming is done via a PC editor which imho is excellent, very easy and intuitive. I have owned a monoevolver de...
