I am always complaining so I thought I would post a (possible) success story.
So far today I am running OS10.2.3; Live 2.0.1; MOTU 828 1.02 and it all works! Even my TC Works Performance Verb is showing up.
No cracks, pops or clicks and (so far!) no crashes!
I have some older Live projects that I use for stress testing because they have produced problems with earlier versions and now they are playing trouble free even as I record new vocals on the fly. The CPU is still a little high but at least it has not increased. I can only conclude that the previous problems lay with MOTU and Apple OSX.x because I am running the same version of Live.
Thanks Abletons, the rest of the world is catching up to you.
Today I am a happy guy. I think I will go write a song.
