Yep, you should be okay running aps like Live on an Apple with that kinda muscle. Bargain!

Using a 800MHz iBook with 640MB RAM, Live 1.5.2 under 9.2.2. I will give version 3 a shot under OS X once the final is out. I didn't see the need to upgrade to V2, but V3 looks very promising.

Powermac G4 4gg 768Ram 120GigLacieD2 Ext FWDrive
OS 9.1 Live 2.0.3
Digi001w/Steinberg ASIO drivers
43ms of overall latency
BTW Anybody know a way I can get lower overall latency from my setup?
What's going on these days with Coreaudio for OSX and Live? Is there a better driver available for me? Should I upgrade to a 002R? I need lower latency and I don't want to have to buy a new interface. Any suggestions?

iBook 500 under OSX, I use V1.5 on that for live stuff, and upgraded to 2.1 on my PC since thats where I record/produce.

800Mhz eMac
1 gig RAM
OS 9.2
Live version 2.1

Runs prety smooth, got to take it easier on the effect tho, or it maxes ou the CPU.

Live 2.1 (although i've been using the 3 beta, and the upgrade is looking attractive)
w/reason 2.1
10.2
powerbook g4 550mhz

I can play about 4-6 loops at a time with about 6 or so effects
Sometimes when I get a cool sound on a loop I'll grab the output as another clip, and disable all the effects as I've captured them in the new clip to save cpu.

I don't like how unresponsive the system gets when i run reason as a slave, so i just export my loops and drop them into live.

Hi Pablo,

OS 9.1 Live 2.0.3
Digi001w/Steinberg ASIO drivers
43ms of overall latency

do you have already tried live 2.1.2? Since version 2.1 Live has support for Digidesign's Direct I/O. Using Direct I/O you should be able to get lower latencies.

Alex

Alex, Thank you SO MUCH! I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight. I'm curious do you know about hom much the latecncy will drop using Digi's DirectI/O?
Right now I've got about 43ms of overall latency.

Alex it's Pablo Here,
Thanks again your the man, Live2.1.2 is awesome!
With a 512 Buffer setting I'm down to 22ms of OVERALL latency Woo Hoo!!!
I'm up in the clouds

I can get down to like 8ms with a 384 buffer setting.
I really apreciate the tip. I had so much latency using the asio driver, that when I performed live using Live i would pretend the latency was a cool new slap delay effect

Hi Pablo,

good to hear that.

Keep also in mind that you can disable not used in/outs of the Digi001, using the 'Input Config" & 'Output Config" buttons in the audio preferences. This can save some percent of CPU usage when you don't need all in/outs at the same time.

regards,
Alex
