Ableton Forum

You import the sample set into your library as a sampler or simpler instrument. I think I used the gigasampler version for import, but Live supports most of the available options.
I was very pleased with it...
Highly recommended!

Go for the sonart - one of the best I've heard and absolutely amazing for a free sampleset. Easy to import from giga to sampler (or simpler).
Almost as good as my favorite Ivory

I wouldn't recommend the Firebox. Unstable drivers/firmware (the box sometimes just dies completely) and no interest from Presonus to change the situation. Look at their forum, there's a long thread about it. The answer I got from their "support" made one thing clear: I personally will nev...

Thanks Tobias! I see the problems with synchronizing multitasking between threads, but I personally would be happy to have a switch per track to allow multitasking for non-latency critical situations (as my generative sets are). Would that be an interim solution? I guess that depends on your setup,...

Thanks Tobias! Well, so far Vista 64 gives me better performance overall than OSX on this machine and my main work is 3D in Softimage:XSI which isn't available for OSX (not to mention that adobe doesn't allow OS-shifting licenses) but I may give those projects a try on the mac-side to see if it make...

L7 supports up to 8 cores on a Mac. L8 will support up to 64 cores on a Mac. Will there be finer granularity for multithreading in L8? I find myself hitting the limit all the time lately with heavily involved tracks using generative instrument racks. 7 cores doing nothing and one choking... (MacPro...

ewtwolf: what video card do you have on the MP? Latest Nvidia drivers are running fine here, don't know about ATI though... Live 7 works fine for me as it is, 8 may be even better... I run the complete u-he line including Zebra2, but also Kore Player, Kontakt Demo, Sample Tank Free, Ivory and dozens...

Smooth as in: XP 32 on the same MP (6GB Ram and 8800 GT) stutters on interaction and doesn't deal as well with the 8 cores. I installed both OS' because in the beginning I wasn't sure about Vista as well as 64bit, since I read a lot of bad things about it, but now I don't use XP32 anymore. And I thi...

"Dead Man" Soundtrack by Neil Young Sigur Ros () Both made me dive into making music again, buying and learning an accoustic guitar and lately a bass and combine this "analog" stuff with digital gear... Not there yet though ;-) Cheers, Thomas Helzle http://www.screendream.de

I run Vista 64 Business for almost a year on a macpro and for about half a year on a macbookpro. First I was pretty annoyed by Vista and I had to replace Explorer by XYplorer to have fun and turn off UAC, but other than that it is smoother and better for what I do than XP. Running 32 bit software wo...

I just bought Ableton Live and asked Ableton Support about an SDK, they sent me here and this sounds interesting, but the LiveAPI Site seems to be down?

Anyone knows what's up?

Thank you!
