Re: iMac 2020 i7 vs i9 processor

I'm about to upgrade my 2013 3.5 quad core i7 to the last intel iMac. I've decided not to wait for Apple silicon for a number of reasons. My decision mainly comes down to the 3.8GHz 8 core i7 or the 3.6GHz 10 core i9. I'm looking to get 64GB of RAM and one of the better GPU cards for my visual work...

Re: Apple silicon

I think it's a bit early to try and work out exactly what Apple silicon will end up being. If they could license the instruction set from Intel they could probably build a chip that could run Intel-based code as well as it runs its own. Or include chip-based virtualisation, maybe. nothing to do wit...

Re: unwanted silence added when importing audio clip

you're right, Ableton totally sucks for this kind of creation. there are other options out there for you.

Re: Apple silicon

video games. how are they holding up on iPads? that's another thread I'd pursue in scoping this all out. my current laptop my Live 10 Performance Test is mediocre and during COVID I've gotten into games like Overwatch and Rust which also show me that my laptop is pretty mediocre.

Re: the music I play in ableton always stuck.

make your buffers large and lower your sample rate, all the way down. then see if things work. when they work take some time to slowly bring these values up to where you want. you need to post more information about your computer. what is it exactly? did you reboot your computer after your installed...

Re: Translate Operator Patch Guitar Bass

a slight change in volume between the two creates modulation in the volumes of the signals as they are played. tremolo.

a slight change in frequency between the two creates modulation in the tones of the signals as they are played. vibrato.

for a better understanding of the evolution of high speed signalling this is a short read with lots of pictures: page 60 - MT-201 I think you guys could appreciate this because it's all about A/D and D/A converter communications but at GHz speeds. they use this for satellite radar imaging.

Re: Translate Operator Patch Guitar Bass

READ THE LEARNING RESOURCES link at the top of the forum. Ableton has already provided the steps for you. there's something really cool that it does with the sound when two notes are played together, some sort of modification on the pitch modulation, I don't know, but I need to achieve a similar sou...

I saw the first web pages in ~1992 when there was only Telnet, I thought that was crap because the internet bandwidth at the time could not transfer images fast enough Telnet?

Re: Apple silicon

I guess since this is called Apple Silicon, I can pretend this is the new ‘iPad music’ my thread. And at least use it as a means to explore the push / pull with the whole Apple platform, approach. Arm and SoC comes down to Apple’s direction being to approach computing as a whole from the user, thro...

Re: Apple silicon

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this existed, here's the roadmap folks... The Avid Pro Tools Dock, $900. So expect something from Ableton already in the works (feeling dumb here) that will phase out/undersell Push at $800 or whatever it lists at, for now. ;) https://www.avid.com/products/avid-c...
