RAM based samples

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Jul 27, 2003 11:00 pm

When will ABLETON LIVE support playing RAM based samples ?
like it can be used f.e. in ACID.

so you can choose between Hard Disk based samples
and Ram based samples not to have limitation of hard disk speed.

If it is not too difficult I really would appreciate this feature
(do not tell me something about Ram Disk)

If it can be done you should go for it
to strike another point
for this amazing program !

It is perfectly possible to create a RAM disk and run audio to/from it. I used RamBuctions in os9; its also available for osX (http://www.clarkwoodsoftware.com/rambunctious). If you're on a PC, I'm sure similar solutions exist in that world too.

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly. Please pretend you didn't see the word "ram disk" (...oops! I did it again!)

(... but why not? I found Ram disks to be quite efficient...)

Hello Dag & Alex

If you can choose ram based sample playing within LIVE
i would find it much more comfortable,

just because for a ram disk you need to buy another application
and most of all do a lot of tuning.
f.e. to get the samples automatically into the ram disk and so on....

So I thought it is possible in ACID
it should not be too much complicated to
go for it in LIVE, the programm I already love too much
to go back to ACID again.

Hi folks,

again just the hint to use the whislist forum for things like that. The wishlist forum is monitored by our spec people. These people who decide in the end what is in the next version of Live and what not (yet)...

it should not be too much complicated to go for it in LIVE

That's mostly not the problem. It's more like:
- how many things we could do (tons of things, work for years)
- how many time we have (always too less)

So we have to priorize things.

regards,
Alex
