Ableton Forum

4.0.4 is less stable....I have some problem with few vst plugins, and the cpu is most consumed then 4.03, Ohm plugins dont appear anymore...
4.0.4 crash sometimes with ableton plugs too..
I am little bit desapointed......
I use on Powerbook g4 1ghz with 1,5g ram and few more things...

How is possible to have a update or patch???

I can't agree when it comes to PC's - 4.04 is a major improvement; haven't had any bad experience with it, and iv'e used Live from it's very beginning (1,2,3&4) - in comb. with rewire, midisync, DSP-plugs & mLAN (FW), usb2-devs and more, - with SP2 as well.
But there is a problem with the Ohm-plugs, as i can see from the forum, so it may be that causing you problems..?
If not, this can be a mac-prob, since PC's cope just fine with 4.04 - or your M-Audio FW, there have bees issues with the FW-ports/adapters/bandwidth with macs, if i remember right..

But the Live-effects should absolutely NOT be acting funny - thats for sure! So you should check it out further, i believe it's a mac-bug in 4.04, since this haven't been mentioned before from any PC-user (yet), as far as i can tell..

Hope you fix this - if not, it should be up to the team to help you solving it, if 4.03 runs smooth on your daw..!

Best of luck!

I actually had some completely random crashes with 4.04, and decided to drop back to 4.03 for a while. Seems that it's not very common, or there'd be more posts about this...I'm on a PC/XP (SP1) system, so it isn't exactly a Mac problem.
