So there is no chance that Live 10 will work on this os X?
How is high Sierra? I'll update tomorrow if all is well on High Sierra.
You need 10.11.6 minimum. Try to find an El Capitan install, High/Sierra seems to be quite shitty. El Capitan runs perfectly.
macOS 10.12 "Sierra" is perfect and have fixed long standing CoreAudio bugs. I wouldn't get
macOS 10.13 "High Sierra" any time soon.
Greetings!
I wish I had taken a look into the forums earlier, but before upgrading from Yosemite to High Sierra everything worked flawlessly here.
So this is the first time for me I hear about these CoreAudio bugs. Do you have any more info for a newbie like me where I could find out more about it?
Thx in advance.

Oh, and just for sharing my personal experience with others:
My setup isn't the biggest or latest.
- Macbook 13" Late 2009, 4GB and a 256GB SSD plus 1TB external USB for finished stuff and data.
- Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 1st Generation
- iConnectMIDI4+ for external synths
- Beatstep Pro, nanoPad2
The audio interface plugged in directly, the rest via active USB hub.
Previously this setup worked like a charm with Live9, but well... I wanted Live10 and since there's no support for Yosemite I took the path of least resistance, opened the app store and hit upgrade to High Sierra (10.13.3 now).
First I was like "Neat!" since High Sierra seemed to occupy less disk space, but then I opened some projects in Live9 and soon noticed a slight distortion after like 10min which evolved into a full "bitcrusher".
I started a test project with 3 tracks (1 Audio, 1 drum rack, 1 operator) and even the CPU load was around 3%ish the "bitcrusher" sneaked in after a few minutes. Changed buffersizes and such, but still the same result. Then I checked the internets for some info and tutorials and behold! The bitcrusher even sneaked in watching a video on Youtube. Same result for iTunes and VLC player. And always like listening to audio over USB for like 10 to 20min.
The 6i6 is still working fine in stand-alone, but over USB from my MacBook there's no chance making music. Audio over the Macbooks' headphone jacks is normal as well.
Not really sure what's going on here, but I kinda wish I had upgraded to El Capitan earlier maybe, but hey! Everything was fine with Yosemite and why change a running system, right?
Anyway, good luck to anyone upgrading. Hope everything will be fine for you guys.
