Re: Max out iMac pro upgrade worth it? Single core score ?’s

Just wanted to ask how far off you think we are from from computers or Daws being able to spread every element of a Daw(Ableton specifically) across all cores as in not dedicating a single track to a specific core leading to overload? making sure the other cores pick up the slack and are maxed out b...

Re: Max out iMac pro upgrade worth it? Single core score ?’s

Thanks for that TLW, I’ll definitely be holding off on Catalina for the moment as well, will have to upgrade to 10 at that time, looking forward to see how 10 handles in my workflow. I think 96k sample rate would work great with these new t-racks tape plug-ins (I think I read somewhere that they are...

Re: Max out iMac pro upgrade worth it? Single core score ?’s

thank you fishmonkey and machinesworking for the replies fish you wrote "it doesn't make sense to compare the CPU usage in Activity Monitor with the Live audio processing meter, as overall CPU utilisation is not a good measure of DAW performance. you need to think more about what is the weakest...

Max out iMac pro upgrade worth it? Single core score ?’s

So I’ve been thinking about taking my 8 core with 64 gb of ram iMac pro and maxing it out to 18 core 128 gb of ram, just watched a video where Linus does this upgrading the cores from 8 to 18 and the ram from the 32 to 128, and everything worked! My question is, would it even be worth it using Ablet...

Re: Audio fuller/louder when routing out Battery and Omnisphere

So you are claiming that the volume difference only happens with Battery and Omnisphere but not with any other instruments routed to audio tracks?
when routed internally, so if I routed Battery in Ableton's track Audio to section to a new audio track the level change doesn't
happen

Re: Audio fuller/louder when routing out Battery and Omnisphere

so I just went back and it seems Battery is about an 8db difference in level, I guess you could be right about perceiving the fuller sound as when dropping the level they sound almost identical, but it feels like the one thats not routed is slightly more veiled hence the one being routed fuller Afte...

Audio fuller/louder when routing out Battery and Omnisphere

I've noticed this for sometime and don't always do it as to keep things in order with other plug-ins that I don't route out from within the plug-in itself. so in Battery when clicking on a cell and routing out to st 3/4, st 5/6 etc, and letting the audio through to a audio track as opposed to playin...

Re: 3rd party plug-in side chain coming?

Dang so it’s already available in 10! Sweet thanks jester I’ve been using that method for live 9 and find it annoying but doable and just find myself using Ableton’s compressor most of the time, would love to have the same work flow with pro-c2 Hey jester, you think 10 runs just as smooth as 9 as fa...

exporting to 16-bit 44k via Pro-l2 vs Ableton vs no dither!

EDIT: so I just used the sample rate and bit converter in iTunes and it literally turns a 24-bit 48k wav file into 16-bit 44k identically, no .2 LUFS drop or any noticeable difference as opposed when dithering/exporting and down sampling in Ableton, has anyone else noticed this?

Re: Are there any statistics on how many people use Live 9 vs 10?

Apparently the NI Komplete Kontrol A series keyboards does not and will not support Live 9.7, only 10.05 and above. Is NI shooting them selves in the foot by snubbing a large market or am I the last fool on the planet that doesn’t need or want to upgrade? I just want to know if I am alone. I use li...

Re: your export options for mix down/master?

I only dither when I need to release something and it has to be brought down to 16-bit 44k (I use triangular option most times) otherwise for me there's no point, I keep everything at 24-bit 48k all the way, not sure if the human ear can tell the difference between 24-bit and 32-bit, I know 32 bit h...
