Ableton Forum

A 2500K (or 3570K, its Ivy Bridge counterpart) will be rougly twice as powerful as your E8500, based on the chart here : http://www.hardware.fr/articles/778-14/moyenne.html

oops,,, my SSD have got problem. It's timely. OS reported HDD has bad sector and crashed. OS tried to recover the system but driver files are corrupeted. I begin to unsure whether SSD can be reconmend to anyone. The same can happen to a HDD. As said before, both can fail, and you should backup your...

Yes, this is another "which soundcard?" thread, sorry :oops: I will soon replace my computer (probably a silent mini ITX rig with intel 2500K processor), and I need a new soundcard. Here are my needs : - good intrument inputs; I am mainly a bassist/guitarist, and process my intruments with...

Given the low price of RAM (you can get 8 GB for ~40€) and the fact that prices are likely to go up, it can be good to upgrade now. Even if Live is 32 bits, your OS will certainly make good use of the extra memory. edit : 40€ for 8 GB is for DDR3. If you have DDR2, the price will be two to three tim...

Reliability issues - make sure you have a good backup plan. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html Mechanical hard drives fail too. The way FLASH memory works in SSD may be frightening for the misinformed, but that does not mean that SSDs are disposable ...

Well, I am not going to call you a "clueless noob", but I happen to use Ableton with a Creative Fatality Platinum, with the internal rack, on Windows 7 64 bits : http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2005/10/creative_xfi/creative_gallery_shot.jpg First a few remarks: 1b) Once you fix t...

My jaw is on the floor. Really nice setup!

Just a little aside...I have a £60 cheapo keyboard with 8 knobs. It has 5 saveable presets. Using 5 Remote User Scripts I can control 16 parameters on each of 5 devices in a song. I usually have 4 locked to the main synths/devices, and one free to instantly control any other device. Thats 5x16= 80 ...

Windows 7 is fine. What is your setup ? (soundcard among others)

I'm waiting for SSD sizes to increase a bit, and I'd also like the reliability to improve a bit. I recall that there are still issues with a finite amount of read and writing of the SSD blocks, and a higher percentage of drive failures. Each new generation of SSD uses NAND packages with smaller the...

seems nice but still pretty pricey for me.. gonna wait.. but a question for those that do have it and run alot of vst's.. is there any benefit to having ableton run on a SSD but all the sample/vst libraries and recordings are on another drive (like your Komplete, Omnisphere library, Kontakt, or ant...

I just bought one yesterday, Crucial M4 128 GB, with Win 7. Pure awesomeness. My default set opens in ten seconds instead of two minutes.

One of my 2.5" HDs has been running for almost eight years, other have died before. Needless to say, the 8 year-old HD looks a bit tired now, compared to recent hard drives. You can still change yours even though it is not dead, you will probably see a nice difference in read/write speed. Just ...

This thread deserves a bump! I finally gave up on making a foot controller out of a nanoKontrol. I used a wireless keyboard instead, which I actually messed up half-way, but I succeeded in making it work as a foot controller. I started with this, a 45€ 2.4GHz wireless keyboard (with a French layout,...

If you are on Windows, make sure all your inputs are muted in the Windows sound preferences.
