Live Performance Test 1 and 2:
performance tests
Hi
PC: Home built jobbie
Processor: Athlon XP1800 (1.53MHz) + 512Mb RAM
Windows 98SE
Audiophile 2496 sound card
Live 1.5b3
Test 1: 1%
Test 2: 7% (honest)
Athlons get a bad press for music apps so I was wary of getting one but it works really well...

Tested with 1.5b3
Make of computer: MSI 694D Pro AIR (dual PIII)
Operating system: WinXP Pro
CPU Speed: 2x1GHz
Soundcard: RME multiface (ASIO mode, 2 output-channels assigned)
1Gb RAM (2-2-2)
streaming HD: IBM 60Gb (DMA-mode)
no SCSI
Result for test 1: 2%
Result for test 2: 16%
Live 1.5b3 is still causing trouble with the RME ASIO driver:
After changing buffer size it gave me bufferoverload at 18% CPU-load! Unloading the driver and loading it again worked after the third try.
I wonder if this could be related to the fact that if I select buffersize LIVE always stays 0,5 to 2ms below the latency given in the hardware config of the multiface. So if it is 6ms with the multiface Live estimates 5ms. Adding these values in Overhead Latency again won't help.
If I read my hardware manual well, underrunning buffersize is hazardous (not only to your ears).

nail in coffin?
I am a big Mac man, but MY GOD! These pc’s are smoking… I would love to see these same tests on the just released final version of 1.5 with its performance gain. Also if someone has an older PC laptop like a 600mhz or 700mkz - that would be great if you could post your results this way we will see if a G3 600 is matching or beating a PC P3 600/700.

I'm just wondering if LIVE is G4 altivec enabled, looking at the poor performance, esp. on the dual machines.
Ableton, is it alitvec??
cheers

Live Performance Test 1 and 2:
Make of computer: Apple PowerBook G4
Operating system: MacOS X 10.1.4
CPU Speed: 500MHz/1GB RAM
Soundcard: Built-in Audio
Result for test 1: 4%
Result for test 2: 29%
Using Version 1.5 - final release
For a portable solution, I'm pretty happy with the performance of Live under OS X on my Titanium - so happy, I got rid of my behemoth Athlon!

Hey Matthias, nice to see RME making an appearance on this list!
Going off topic briefly, is it true that the "Steinberg Nuendo Audiolink" hardware is actually the RME HDSP system in disguise?
Can you post some results for an Apple TiBook running with the RME hardware? (Ideally under OS X, and yes, I realise you've not released OS X drivers yet )
cheers,
os.
