Live 7 = CPU hog, needs almost twice CPU power as Logic 8!

Basically live would rock a lot lot harder if there were 2 modes, studio and live.

Studio gives you less polling etc but frees up more resources.

Yes it's a live instrument but it's also a f*knig daw and it's frustrating that the most easy to use and intuitive one doesn't have a mode where it's comparable to other sequencers. . ..

I have just got a new octo core mac and 1 instance of Minimonsta playing a patch that is a bit of a cpu hog is taking up 35% of the resource meter in live.

That's just a joke, , ,

I slipped into a daze, whilst I was there I heard the most startling music, it was at once familiar and alien, reassuring and unsettling.

My test was on a single Core laptop. The results on the dual gig desktop were MUCH worse.
