Live 4.1 and Reaktor 4.1 stable as a rock ?

Post by mag38 » Fri Jan 21, 2005 7:00 pm

Hi there,

somebody uses Ableton 4.1 and Reaktor 4.1 togehter ?
I had some crashes with the previous Ableton Live version together with Reaktor FX's, therefore I used Live 3.0.4 which worked perfectly with Reaktor 4.1.
Somebody had some crashes with Reaktor 4.1.3 and the latest Live version 4.1 ?

Looking forward to your experices.

Rock on,

Oliver

i still can't open anything from reaktor session 1.1.3 in live 4.1 i try to load the instrument, and when presented with the patch saving options screen (before any patches can be loaded), Live either crashes or freezes. it's kind of a drag.

I can open and use reaktor session in live 4.04 and 4.1 perfectly, I will have to check my version, but I believe it is the most recent.
WinXP 3GB RAM

I'm on Reaktor4.1.3 and using Live4.1 and it works great. When you enstalled Reaktor did you tell the VST section to direct itself to the VST folder in Live. That might be your problem! And also when you unzip an instrument or whatever from the userlibrary make shure you extract it to the VST folder in Reaktor4 so that when you click on Reaktor in Live your new instrument/effect will show up in the Reaktor menu and then you select which one you want to use in Live(drag and drop into the neighboring box or just double click) then BAM you've got Reaktor integrated into Live! 8)

It's not necessary to unzip the reaktor intruments into your VST folder ... if you want to use reaktor in live you simply have to put the reaktor.dll into the live VST folder (doesn't matter, where you installed it) ... ok, this is not the reaktor folder here :wink:

Until now, I had no crashes with the lastest version of rekator and live ... should be so, when I use it for two gigs on the weekend ...

Ohh!, I've always just been extra, extra cautious on where I send my unzipped reaktor files. I don't know much about computers at all. I was just posting how I do it since it has never failed me.

AdamJay, are you on a PC? Because Jamief is on a Mac and Reaktor is not working for him. I'm on a PC with latest Reaktor update along with Live4.1 and its working like it should for me.

yes sir i am on a PC. running XP Home.

RiotNrrd.. in all seriousness... no crashes with Reaktor 4.1.3 and Live 4.1 (or Live 4.0.2 , 0.3, 0.4) i just spent another 6 hours programming in Reaktor today without a single issue.

I haven't had Reaktor crash on me at all in anything since that ill-begotten 4.12 update that rendered the DXi useless in older versions of Sonar,and before that it was probably six months earlier.Reaktor on a properly maintained PC is VERY stable...

I'm on a Dell 2ghz. Pentium M with 1gig of ram and running WinXP Pro. Never had any issues!

I have'nt tried to build anything since Reaktor3 so I could'nt tell you how stable it is when building ensembles.

Reaktor3 ran pretty good on a 1ghz PentiumIII with 512mg ram on Win98SE. Once in a while it would buzz when tweaking CPU hungry synths, but no crashes!

I'm using a 1GHZ Mac Laptop with 1.2 Mb of memory. Reaktor 4.1 was stable with Live 4.0, but it crashes regularly with Live 4.1

That's what's happening on my end.......
