i am very new to live, so i got me straight live5, so i can't make any comparison between live4 and live5...

but so far, i had NOT a SINGLE problem or crash... i am new to live itself, but on the other hand an experienced audio poweruser... so i squeezed already the hell out of live, meaning extensive routings, lots of tracks, plugs including lots of 3rd party plugs and the like... no problem yet it's running tutti frutti on my mac.

so i am wondering a bit myself what kinda issues people have with 5...
but maybee i am just lucky... i have the same with other audio apps, everything is just doing fine... but my comp is 100% dedicated for audio only...
that usually makes a difference, if there is to much going on (internet, games, watching videos and all that stuff), on your system than it can drive apps into a *flaky* behaviour alltogether... audio is one of the fuzziest *genres* you can possibly run on a computer.

generally speaking try to dedicate the mashine, no matter if 4 or 5 or whatever... (oops sorry if i went a little *off* topic :oops:)
