hi here beta testing v8.12
i have a track loaded with an instrument plus some effects...if i double click in a new instrument from the library (without clicking the hot swap button)...it gets loaded but the effect is deleted...i think it should just replace the instrument without deleting the effect...that is what it does in version 6...
a couple more things:
1- crash when recording with midi merge in the arrangement view...
2- i get cpu spikes...and then crash...i'm just using 3 instruments (operator,and 2 samplers) it goes from 40% to 100%....with a loud noise (master meter stock in full green) ...needed restart
after restarting i freeze the 3 tracks and cpu goes to 5% but the orange "d" flashes
3- would it be posible to freeze groups??? i tryed but i couldn't
4- overall looks like comparing with version 6(i don't have 7) the cpu gets used with fewer tracks...in v6 i can use 7 to 10 midi instruments...with v8.12....no more than 4 or 5
also i like to say i love the looper (i've been using a lot angstrolooper) but this looper has nice functions like undo and quantize...beutifull
ok i will keep reporting
thanks!!

Hi,

The behaviour for inserting Instruments is the same in Live 7.

For the rest, please create one thread per topic. If we start cross-posting answers about different problems in the same thread, we're lost.

First check beta 16, then create a thread per issue. I'll move this one away. Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,
Amaury
