If it works go for it.
But does loading a set on one Live cause any audio glitches on another live?

I'm always playing live with two instances of Live.
Sometimes I experienced small glitches when loading a
new set in the past, but as super-low latency doesn't
matter to me I fixed the problem by turning latency up
a little bit.
You have to check it for yourself, but for me it's
by far the best solution to work on stage.

i saw a vid of deadmau5 with what looked like two laptops and two apc40s...and if i had the money like i'm sure he does why the hell not?
but i personally think its a waste of time. ableton is way too functional all by itself to need another instance imo.

how do you switch to another live-set
while playing with one instance ?

i'm saying there's no need to...
you can copy and paste all the racks and effects you need and all the samples you need from one set into another...the only difference i can see is performance...is your computer faster with two instances? or is it faster just having one set that is larger than usual?

working with 2 instances or with copy & paste in one instance.
The downsides (for me) of working with one instance:
1) The risk of stuttering or dropouts is much higher when copy-pasting
into the running set instead of loading in an idle instance.
2) While Live is busy inserting the new set the GUI is mostly freezed
so you can't control the running set. With 2 instances you can start
loading and go back to playing the running set.
3) The MIDI mapping gets fucked up. With two instances and some preparation
you can control both instances with 2 banks of your MIDI controller
without having to prepare different versions of your set for the different
instances.
