Ableton Forum

In regards to all the questions and specualtion about Altivec optimization your answers are all in this thread, authored by Live's lead developer:

http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8283

Please READ CAREFULLY, the hard facts are in there...

Well, as it seems altivec is not - as a G3 owner I am not to sad about it. Altivec should be more appropriate for the effects - reverb - than for the engine itself.

>>If I'm not mistaken, Altivec is only for the G4 chip, and would not help so much for >>G5s. If they did skip Altivec optimisation, that may be the reason.

I hope you do not mind if I correct you here. G5s have a altivec compatible engine - for full optimization some parameters may be different but they take advantage of altivec optimisation and put it even to a new level.

Best

what about keeping VSTs/VSTis and AUs while running as a rewire slave - any update on that front. It seems possible (Bidule/Melodyne).

Well, would be great - but a stable version (as Bidule is not that stable and Melodyne rahter unusable in rewire mode) is much more important.[/b]

1. Resizable session view tracks?

2. Midi mappable delete button???

3. can we map external midi controls to clip envelope properties?

4. Can we record effect and clip automation in session/clip view in real-time, for continued looping?

Thanks,

Ryan

1. Will VST be available in Rewire slave mode?
2. Will there be support for Quicktime or Windows Media Video?
3. Any plans for surround support?

Rumor: Live 4 will support multiple soundcards at once.

True or untrue?

Thanks

"Supports previewing and cuing via separate audio outs"


Sounds like they at least will support seperate interfaces for cuing...

I don't know about inputs, maybe since it supports Core Audio there may be a way to trick it with 3rd party utilities?



Prolly not...

It would be nice to be able to use the stock headphone jack on my PB for Cueing/Prelisten, and get 2 extra outs for the Master on my Indigo DJ.

So ABS, what's the dilly?

I'm 99.999999999% certain I saw that it's now supported - but I can't remember where

I remembered because way back on live 2 I asked if you could do it
and they said no - so this time around I made a note of it - just wish I could remember where

As far as I know not one audio application can handle multiple soundcards of different types flawlessly 'cause you always will have big time sync issues and even if you solve it , it will be the lowest common denominator that will give you the [bad] latency ...

I've heard that with coreaudio multiple audiocards could be used , but I can't confirm this as I 'm no Mac user .

This issue has already been adressed a zillion time, and at several occasions people adressed the technical issues that make this a practically impossible task [though maybe only for WIndows users ] ... so doing a thorough search should open a lot of eyes.

ok, well maybe I bet on the wrong .00000001%

I was so sure - but then recreational drugs are definitely taking their toll on me

Logic supports multiple sound cards at the same time.

1. will Live 4 support Dual screen views of the arranger mode and the session mode??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Logic only supports multi-soundcards with different driver types

ie - one ASIO, one direct I/O etc

that's probably all live needs to give it pre-listen - I'm sure you could get a good enough latency for pre-listening from direct sound or MME or whatever the mac version of slumming it is
