Re: Can anyone recommend a PC laptop?

Also do I need one of those firewire chipsets if all Im doing is producing and using a usb 2.0 interface?? Don't know. I only changed the processor when I picked it so I guess the supplied chipset should be ok but I only use USB devices anyway. The only thing I would change in hindsight is screen s...

Re: Can anyone recommend a PC laptop?

I have used Dell Inspirons for the past 7 years and never had any problems. I have a 15R just now with an i7 3632QM processor and it handles everything I throw at it (mixture of Live and 3rd party vsts, 15-20 tracks). Only additions were a replacement 7200rpm HD and a decent audio interface. Did yo...

Re: Live 9.1 - VST's taking forever to load

I tried removing the vst scan in options.txt which made no difference. I have Live loading automatically when my laptop starts and I have noticed that if I try to open a set the moment Live starts it can take up to 5 minutes for the set to load. However if I leave Live open without attempting to loa...

Re: Live 9.1 - VST's taking forever to load

I have a similar spec to you and VSTs work fine for me. Do they still take ages to load even after your pc/laptop has been switched on for a while? I ask as I have a related issue where the first set I load after switching on my laptop and firing up Live can take 2-4 mins to load whereas subsequent...

Re: Autobeat/Spectrum Effects. Your views.

Sorry, I have to backtrack. This was not Ableton making the device. Would be cool though if also independent programmers could turn their M4L devices into native Live devices. (Or can they already?) I think you need M4L for them to run so you'd either need Suite or M4L purchased separately with Liv...

Nice track, especially once he got rid of the nasty hissing sound that Spectrum Runner seemed to be adding.

Autobeat/Spectrum Effects. Your views.

I'm thinking of taking advantage of Ableton's 20% sale and getting Autobeat and Spectrum Effects.Before I pull the trigger I'd be interested to hear what other people who've bought these devices think of them, in particular their usefulness and value for money. Thanks.

Re: Ableton 9.1 Dual Monitor Support + more

Excited about the Push instrument step sequencing. Hope they bring in native VST support also though I suspect they may wait for Push interest to die down again before releasing another big upgrade.

Re: Push and Livecontrol together

I got the cheapy Livecontrol v1 a while back and was thinking of resurrecting that but I am tempted by the new Touchable, even more so now so thanks for the advice.

p.s. despite living/loving here for 14 years I'm afraid I'm an Englishman in Scotland :(

Push and Livecontrol together

I received Push recently but was thinking of using Livecontrol as well so I can use Push to control instrument parameters and livecontrol to change send levels at the same time. Does anyone have any experience of using both Push and Livecontrol on the same PC? Will one override the other or will the...
