any differences when using Max for Live?

He said quadcore, which means it's a Macbook Pro 15" and not 13" as all 13"s are duocores.Machinesworking wrote:Naming just the CPU and that it's a Macbook Doesn't tell us much. Your 2010 machine could be a top of the line 15" and the 2014 could be a 13".
Don't return it. Install Live 9.1.5 64bit-version and talk to Native Instrument support about the issues. I run the 64bit-version and usually can use 128-256 samples latency.JJ Deviation wrote:
Maybe it’s not bad enough to go back to the old machine, but I think I just wasted my money.
Return?
If I try and return this very new machine for something else, I want to know what’s going to help me. (I also do circuit board layout and could use the bigger 15.4” screen for that when I’m on the road.) I have another few days before the 14-day period ends.
Any suggestions?
I'm glad that you have had improvements. That's about the same results I've seen.JJ Deviation wrote:I have since started using the 64-bit version which helped a lot. Especially with the CPU idling high when Kontakt was being used. (Kontakt 4 may be unstable; using only Kontakt 5.) So far seems reliable so far on tour and now finally snappy at 128 samples.
