please god save me.

ive been with ableton since version 4.. SPEND SOME MONEY ON PROPER DEVELOPERS.

Not seeing any of that on my rMBP here. You have a 3rd party plug installed that's maybe not compatible?

I don't get any either. It's not super snappy or anything but I haven't seen any beachballs yet.

Huge library and Live's "new browser" is still indexing it...?

get a PC, live runs better on windows

and that is comming from a machead

I'm getting plenty of these too. Takes ages (sometimes a few minutes) to open, then beachball when I first try and select something. I was thinking maybe I need an SSD but this didn't happen with Live 8. Sometimes I can get hangs of 30 sec to 1 min. This sucks big time. Must be their fault. This is still the same with 9.0.4 too.

Live 9 has always done this to me, even in the beta phase if I remember correctly.

My library should be completely indexed and I haven't been adding/subtracting anything and yet it still beach balls for a good 30 seconds on every launch, can't do anything until it is finished doing it's thing.. I'm going to assume it is the library indexing business but I can't say for sure.

run win on mac. it runs Live smoother.

Don't listening to the nonsense reactions... try to solve the problem, Live 9 runs fine on Mac.

the only one that doesnt beach ball on mac is 9.0.5 beta. thats my truth homeboy.

it's not nonsense. some people fixes issues by running on win. You just don't know.

Same here.

Hmnn. This is concerning. I am thinking about getting one of the new MBPr Haswell machines when they come out. This would be a conversion to the Mac side for me: what attracts me more than anything else is the quality tech support. But with this thread, I'm finding myself wondering if I should get a windows machine instead... anyone else have the Beta 9.05 running smoother on a MBPr?

Hi, just downloaded the latest beta 32 bit and it is running much better - fast startup - no beachball on menus. This is more like it.

Oh great thanks Acid. Forgive if this is discussed elsewhere, but is the retina display problem also resolved now for Live 9 fonts?
