Just switched to new mac and live is hanging

[mark-w]

I got 12 and I’m still having this exact same issue. Works fine without an external display but is unbearably slow with one connected. Considering I practically use my Macbook as if it were a desktop, this is an unworkable situation for me. Only thing that works is having QuickTime running doing a screen recording but that’s an absurd workaround.

Did you try other screen resolutions?

this was literally what was happening for me, even down to the quicktime thing. But between updating to latest Sonoma and Live 12, the issues have resolved. I travel and have used probably 4 different external monitors since the upgrades and have not had a problem. Cue furious knocking on wood.

Did you try other screen resolutions?

And possibly try other framerates? i.e. ProMotion on/off etc?

Did you try other screen resolutions?

Yes I tried messing with hi-dpi on/off, different resolutions, different refresh rates. I am running the latest macOS and an updated Live (I’m on the trial but that should not be significant).

I am using a 27” 2560*1440 Dell Ultrathin S2719 display that can do 60 or 75Hz. It’s connected over usb-c. Any other program runs fine, it’s just Live that is unworkable.

Maybe you've mentioned this before but please check if both displays are set to "Default" resolution in the macOS Displays System Settings

Upgrading to Live 12 DID NOT resolve the issue for me! Still dealing with GUI lag.
I'm on the latest sonoma (14.4.1).
The only thing that makes the issue go away is closing my laptop so that i'm only using the external monitor. so basically i can't run both displays without getting the lag.

I upgraded to Live 12 and still having this issue! And still had no response from Ableton's support. I's so frustrating! To make it worse I connected my new bluetooth Logi lift vertical mouse (wich is compatible with mac and worked great with my older one) and it doesn't read it. I'm stack with music production with my new workstation.. ufff%^&&*^!

Do you have any option to try with another type of connection, e.g HDMI?
