I’ve been using it for client work for the last 8 months, no issues at all for my uses.

Been using Live 10 in the studio for +/- 6 months and no concerns - the very occasional crash, but no more than I can usually prepare for / mitigate. As with any software, good saving habits / version control etc is important.

I haven't used Live 10 for a gig yet, but I just wouldn't, anyway. I'm boring like that. Nothing in 10 compels me to use 10 on stage so I'll stick with producing in 10 and playing live in 9 for the time being.

Live 10 is going GREAT in the studio, though!!! Much props to the Abes for all their work!!!

Not a professional but I spent about two months in the Beta before release. I had slightly more frequent crashes than in Live 9, but it was still pretty rare. Maybe 5-7 crashes in 2 months. I can't say for sure this was Live's fault but I did have two significant crashes that forced a restart of Windows 10. Like I said though, mostly stable.

Live's stellar crash recovery makes it a safe bet for studio use.

One of my favourite new features in 10 is keeping the Undo function intact after saving. I once lost half a day's final mixing on a track by fat-fingering "delete" while I had inadvertantly selected almost the entire arrangement in Arrange View. 3AM me freaked, and for some reason hit save reflexively - oops - cementing the fuckup. That was the inciting incident to the strict version control regime I have today. :lol:
But no longer an issue - Live now protects us aginst our own stupidity! (mostly)

@Tarekith :D awww... smootchies!

Yesterday 4 crashes in 2 hours... Push2 + Live both frozen, just a bit of jamming on a nice 64 pad drumrack.
Never had this with Live 9... Not even one crash, so I'm not happy.

Same here, loads of bad hangs and crashes.
With midi feed, with midi overdub which results in lag and then crash.
With startup rescanning vst's which takes ages and hangs.

Had never any real problems since live 4 to 9 till now with version 10......

My experiences are Ableton only, no VST's loaded. Just Live 10 Suite + ASIO driver.
Ditching ASIO and using the slow default driver doesn't help.
For now I'll stick with Live 9 :(

Hi Ialakulo, could you please post your specs? would be helpful . I am not sure if I should update now or wait a bit.


ok, just finished reading all the threads about issues with 10... there seems to be a some issues with the first official version. I will skip 10 for now...


Update: Saw your specs in another thread ...thanks and good look with your issues ! Hope you get it solved

Could be i am one of the unlucky few tho. Don't see many with the same problems.

I am sure ableton will solve it.

It's not uncommon for first releases to have some bugs triggered in specific scenarios.
Apparently I have such a scenario. I send all the crash reports to Ableton to help them fix it.
Hopefully there will be a new minor release with fixes soon.
