I've just downgraded from 8.1 pro to windows 7 pro on my laptop (it was an upgrade really) and I think this is my first time running 64bit Live. Performance seems solid! I was able to play 90 tracks without any crackles.

All of the samples are missing from the samples folder (folder empty) when I extract the zipfile, so the test plays no audio and Live 8 shows "media missing" in tracks.
Anyone know what's up with that?
Did I do something wrong? I followed test instructions as far as I know.
Thanks.

bump.
Anyone know why there's no samples in the test project folder?

Anyone have the zip with audio they could send me?

Thanks.

For any future users that have this issue, I figured it out.
For some reason, my first download of the testfile from the OP of this thread did not include the AIFF sample, the samples folder was empty. I then downloaded the file from the Live 9 performance test thread's OP link and it worked. This was curious to me as the link seemed to go to the same place for the zip download. So I went back and did a test re-download from this thread's OP link and it worked, I got the complete zip this time. Weird!
So if you have no audio samples loaded in the test, try re-downloading the test .zip file.

By the way; I get 20% using the system in my sig.
32 tracks = 62%
On a single core of the Q9550, 8 tracks was 70%

Today L 9.6 is released.
Therefore, I post anew.

1) Ableton Live CPU Meter = 10%
2) Laptop/Desktop = Turtle Silentium Desktop (manufactured by Grey in Germany)
3) Operating System = Windows 7 HP 64bit
4) Ableton Live version = 9.6 64bit
5) CPU Make, Model, and Speed = Intel i7-2600 Quadcore stock speed 4 x 3.4 GHz, Multithreading off
6) Amount of Ram = 8 GB
7) Soundcard = RME HDSP 9632 (old PCI card)
8. Hard Disk Drive Speed = System: Intel SSD from 2011. Data: Samsung 840 EVO SSD, latest firmware
9) Number of playback tracks = 8

Live 9.6 is slightly faster than previous versions. With older L 9 versions, I got 11-12% on the CPU meter.

There's a Live 9 Test thread. This one is for v.8

- I've been wanting to upgrade for some time now as my laptop is 3 years old. I would prefer something smaller and lighter but nothing comes close to its power.
- I would love the new MacBook 12" but it would be so weak in comparison... Maybe the new 13" Pro? Anybody compared the 13" and 15" much?
- I've been advised to wait as the MBP is due a redesign this year.

1) Ableton Live CPU Meter - 10%
2) Laptop/Desktop? Make/Model? Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012)
3) Operating System? OS X El Capitan 10.11
4) Ableton Live version? 9.6
5) CPU Make, Model, and Speed? 22 nm "Ivy Bridge" 2.7 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (3820QM)
6) Amount of Ram? 16gb
7) Soundcard (and driver version if you know it)? None (Internal)
Hard Disk Drive Speed (if you know)? 750gb Flash Read/Write around 400mb/s
9) Number of playback tracks? 128

Not related but I have a similar model MBP and I tried installing El Capitan and I had serious lagging graphics. The lag on Live's VU's was enough to make me roll back via timecapsule. How's it working for you?

No issues with El Capitan or graphics. All fine on large projects.

The only very strange issue I have which I cannot figure out at all... Is I sometimes get a flood of cpu for no reason. The project will be running steady around 50% then go crazy 100%+ until I stop. Then will calm back down again.

Im guessing it's a heat issue? Usually happens in Ibiza

Usually happens in Ibiza

Nice!
