Re: Ableton CPU Time To Upgrade?

I have waited 2 hours for the machine to cool down and done the test again. The original results appear again. Therefore I can only surmise that the problem is caused by the machine struggling heat wise. Your conclusion do appear do be quite shallow. For instance you haven't excluded other sources,...

Re: Ableton CPU Time To Upgrade?

Mini is also using mobile CPU. Mobile CPU is utilized to use as little voltage as possible. This causes desktop CPU normally runs faster than mobile CPU. And heat in the small chassis is one of the causes. What I must assume you really mean here is that better heat dissipation in iMac* allows for f...

Re: Ableton CPU Time To Upgrade?

Laptops are for portability. CPU heavy projects need a desktop. Do you by that mean that for instance a 4-core i7 Macbook Pro always is slower than a desktop 4-core i7 iMac, Mini, Pro with the same CPU clock speed using SSD for storage? I would say that isn't as self-evident. Obviously, one should ...

Re: VST3 Support!

My audio interface, the Steinberg UR824, comes with only VST3 plugins, so the point kind off keeps standing. Yes, this is still true of course. However, I think also Steinberg have a little something to do with the adoption rate of vst3 plugins. The SDK and docs are all here: http://www.steinberg.n...

Plug-In Formats VSTi 3.6 (32bit/64bit), AU
The bolded detail above means you're not correct in your assumption. I have little or no issues using Audio Units in Live 9. Why exactly can't you use the AU version?

(I'm a developer but not tried it in 10.10 yet! Still remain to be convinced about certain elements of the new look.)
Thanks for your report. I just installed the 9.1.3 release yesterday. Judging from the betas Live 9.1.3 is a positive improvement.

Re: Live 9.1.x and Mac OS X 10.9.4, your first impressions?

It's exactly the same. Meaning you updated to OS X 10.9.4 with Live 9.1.3 and everything works for you as before? I'm still waiting for proper cables for my Babyface. I postponed the update until I've made sure the audio interface works with OS X 10.9.3. I've already seen reports the Babyface works...

Re: Live 9.1.x and Mac OS X 10.9.4, your first impressions?

I'm scared to do it. Since I updated to Mavericks, my MBP has been very slow. Lots of spinning beach balls and weird Ableton Live behavior. And even simple stuff like quitting Safari hangs my computer where before I never had a problem. 13" MBP with 8 gigs of RAM- it used to be a hot rod The S...

Live 9.1.x and Mac OS X 10.9.4, your first impressions?

For those of you that fearlessly took the plunge last night and updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9.4, what are your first impressions with Live 9.1.x in this OS X 10.9 version? I plan to update tomorrow or so, as I'm between studio dates and can revert if I have to. I'm thinking stuff to check off is: >...

Re: Support for Polyphonic Aftertouch

+1

Polyphonic Aftertouch is part of the MIDI standard since the 80's and predates Ableton Live 1.0. What's the rationale for not supporting it? To be able to switch it off or thin it out for saving on resources would be nice.
