This goes for export, freeze and consolidate - all using a single core

... on your PC.



sorry, just seemed a sweeping generalization.

Nope the OP is right on this. Reaper is very good at this. BTW, this is old news. Someone pointed this out with Reaper vs. Sonar.

I used reaper as an example, could've been sonar and cubase too - they both export/freeze in half of the time

Implying something is obsolete is perhaps forgetting that ongoing development may eventually address multi-core implementation?

I've got 24 available hyperthreaded cores in this Mac Pro and Live only uses 1 of them when rendering. 7 minute tracks sometimes take 20 minutes to render.

Logic, on the other hand, chews through rendering using a bunch of cores.

The longer I am using Ableton the more it gets on my nerves. I am really honest about these feelings. I am also on a new Mac with 16Gb Ram and several i7 cores. When using Ableton you never get the feeling being on a fast computer.

Using external gear is still complicated in Ableton when talking of automation in Arrangement View and the program crashes quite often.

I am hoping for Bitwig to come out and solve some of the anoying things I find in Ableton.

Then tell me why there is a special TAB in preferences called CPU?
Which lets you set Multi Core/Multi CPU support for both Live and Rewire.

Why? So live can assign the available cpu cores across all tracks during playback. I mentioned single core use in freezing/mixdown only

If this is only for offline processing I don't mind that much...
would be nice if it were faster.. but meh..

Reaper is known to be the most CPU/memory efficient DAW... seconded by Cubase

Not for you, but I often have to do offline bounces for live backing tracks..

Hasn't it been said over and over?

It really proves how Reaper is very resource efficient ove3r most DAWs out there.

This thread jumps out the most: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=172654

What is striking is that Ableton completely ignores this. No official comment anywhere in any of these threads.

I guess, seeing how they are handling Push and it´s fiasco. No surprise here. /shrug

Bitwig needs to launch sooner than later and massive amounts of people jumping ship.
Maybe then Ableton will finally get a wake up call and snap out of their sheer arrogance and go back to their roots and start interacting again with their customers.

What fiasco??
