FaX-01 · Post by **FaX-01** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 4:23 am

OK just did a further P20 test on 3.04

4 sends (2 reverbs )
(1 grain delay)
(1 redux)

20 tracks all looping with variable send amount no track inserts...

CPU hits 16% use in 3.0.4 in XP .

With no effects it hits around 6-7% max.

Boy am I gonna be havin' fun with Live - four days in and I'm hooked

forgot to mention, these results are based on Beta 4.1

great results, even better performance than 3.0.4!

good work Ableton!

Mmm, if I compare Raapies and Netchayev's figures, would mean that the 1.3 Powerbook and the Centrino 1.5 are almost on par ... nice optimization I'd say ...

raapie · Post by **raapie** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 11:04 am

yes, you are right. but the PowerBook G4 has a more noisy fan if I am correct. other than that, wow!

netchaiev · Post by **netchaiev** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 12:02 pm

The fan? not really noisy....I don't hear it. and raise the computer so it doesn't get hot that fast

But I do get happy to see those numbers... it feels good

and BTW, when idle w/ the arrangement, cpu: 0% !!!!! unreal....

Just tested the Live 3 demo arrangement in Live 4 beta1..Strange though how Ibooks and G3's are faster..Wierd I think.
Second pass I got 11-12%..

1) 2%
2) 13%

netchaiev and raapie,

What was your latency set to in Live during those tests?

raapie · Post by **raapie** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 4:56 pm

3 on both input and ouput, 6 ms in total. this is my 'safe' setting. rme is capable of 1.5 without adding cpu strain.

[quote="chris_borgia"]Test 1: Open the Live Demo Arrangement, what is your CPU level at with the transport stopped (i.e. the arrangement is not playing)

Test 2: Play the Live Demo Arrangement, what is your CPU level at when bar 17 comes in (i.e. after pressing play and when it hits the part of the song were all the tracks come in- bar 17)
