I bought Live Suite in part to get Max4Live. I cannot use Max4Live with all the crashing. How can I get a refund for Max4Live...? Yeah it's that bad. Same here but i don't want refund. I would like to have it. It's been great on paper and in theory. But in practice it's unstable. Anyone else with s...

Not funny joke believe me..can we stay on topic please..

Crashes after crashes. W7 64b. I tried granulator 2, instant haus, drum synth from max4live. Saved the project (all liveinstruments, effects + max4live). Later, the project cannot be opened 50% of the time, live crashes after max4live splash screen "serious error". I could live with this ...

M4L devices run very stable on my Win 8.1 machine. Zero crashes when loading and using M4L devices, only a few crashes while messing around in patches and that was most of the time caused by my own stupidity. This is useful info. Thanks. Is there anyone else who can confrim stable m4l environment a...

I've had a hint from the developers, but I know they don't like to have private communications repeated here. I'll paraphrase what I was told in this case - and you can assume I have mangled it in some way so that it barely aligns with the reality. In some circumstances, most often on Windows machi...

Yep it's quite bizarre... Not even a single hint from official developers.

M4L is no good to me in the traditional sense. Devices that span more than three pipes are suspect. I have experience using commercial M4L releases that crash frequently. If the professional developers cannot get it going right then I won't trust it. This happens on my desktop and my laptop. Both a...

i also have these issues. when i updated a few days ago to live 9.1.6 and max 6.9.1 in the beginning everything was fine and i could load m4l devices without crashes. yesterday when i started live again and tried to use different m4l devices i got crashes again. like for the other users the crashes...

Sure. Since you have now sold your license the update to Max 7 is not a possibility anymore. I am sorry for the frustration you went through, that must have been.... mmm frustrating. Anyway, though, I still have to say that I get from other people a different report (M4L crashes have become less of...

Nope...same thing. I just tried managed to crash ableton 10 times in a row. Very simple. Here is what i do: Run Ableton. Drag Reaktor VSTi from browser to clip view. It loaded fine. (i mean empty reaktor, no ensemble is loaded). Now i am trying to load J74 StepSequencer in front of Reaktor (somethi...

My Ableton was super stable with 3rd party VSTs and i do have quite a lot of them. I only had crashes when i used m4l. Never before, never after..

To whoever is listening. Just a few other comments. I have no real evidence, but there is something I noticed and that makes me think Ableton Live does something not completely right with M4L and its memory allocation management. For small devices this is not an issue, since memory in use may be sm...

This is copy paste from email received yesterday from J74 Progressive developer: This email is about the J74 Progressive tool set and it applies only to users using the Progressive tool set in a Windows environment. In certain situations and on a Windows OS environment, Live may crash if you delete ...

Well...my assumption that software which is more then several years in the making should be at least so stable that i could open projects on which i am working on - was wrong Just what i reported above (crashing project) - is again loading fine. Did not changed anything. Literally. Two hours later i...
