Ok i have purchased ableton live for use with the band as we are now heading out to start jamming but have come up with a problem!!
Just formatted and totally cleaned up the laptop, optimized it and it's using very very little in the way of resources when idle so memory and processor can be utilized fully.
The problem being that Live 6, when installed seems to take forever loading up the internal synths.... yet i can load up sonar 6 plus reason with 10 tracks running and still have a few vst's running in sonar without a problem.
Has anyone experienced this? I will admit that the laptop is not the fastest but it seems at this moment in time, it was pointless purchasing ableton as we cannot make use of it properly.
