macbook pro probsss

Post by steefke » Fri Nov 10, 2006 9:28 pm

hi,

I just bought a macbook pro (2.16Ghz, 1Gb ram, 15'') and just tried Live5.0.1. I came to the somber conclusion that (while just running 2 channels with 3 effects (beatrepeat, reverb, threewayequalizer) on each channel) the CPUload drew maximum! The audio started stuttering when I tried playing both channels at the same time,,

I tried all the tricks in de LiveManual, but nothing works.. what's the deal?? any of you have any idea??

thanks a bunch!

That version isn't a universal binary so you'd have been running under Rosetta. You need version 5.2 or up.

All will be sweet then :)

try the Live 6 demo and see the improvement.

JOY!
15" PB 2.5 Ghz, 4 Gig RAM, 750 GB HD, Live 9 still no cue points or program change messages?!?. Doesn't do shit.

I take it you installed this version off your old PPC mac?

:wink:

I'd start with the 6 demo like Kabuki says.
