Nasty pink screen flash on loading Ableton on m1 systems?

Post by riddor74 » Sun Jan 15, 2023 10:11 am

Hi All

Been noticing an issue of the pink screen flash on loading Ableton on several m1 systems now and have read of people having issues with this online.

Im currently building a new computer Mac Studio 2022 M1 running 12.6.2 Monterey and Ableton Universal 11.2.7 and I noticed it first on this but then just checked a MacBook Pro 2020 M1 running 1 Monterey 12.2 and Ableton 11.2.7 and it does the same thing.

Happens opening the default Ableton project with no third party bits involved.

Its quite a nasty quick flash/ headache causing! and wondered if any users on here with similar set ups are noticing this?

Thanks!

Yes, I was noticing it before. Just updated to 11.2.11 and it's worse.

You mean: no problem when opening Live by loading one of your set? It's only happening with the factory default Template?

You launch Live, the Live GUI disappears and there's a brief moment when the App/Session is initializing. That's when it happens.

Here's a video, it happens at 12 seconds

i also wonder why Live is taking so long to launch? on my MacBook M1 Pro it's ready to go in about 5 seconds (assuming that plug-in scanning is already done).

do you have content stored on external, networked, or cloud drives?

happened for me on a new clean iMac and with the first installation of Live, without any tinkering. I have Live as a auto start item though, so it get‘s launched automatically after start

does it also happen when you manually launch Live after the computer fully booted?

I contacted support, they are aware of the issue. It doesn't cause any operational issues.
