Ableton Forum

I'm setting up a different computer and tried to login this morning to download Ableton Live and packs. Couldn't login. Thought maybe I changed my password because it's been a while. Submitted password reset but I'm not getting any emails (spam folder checked) to reset my password and I can't login either.

Wanted to know if it's just me or a system wide issue.

edit:
It just started working for me after about an hour of trying...
Of course, the moment I post here it starts working

But of course, that's how it always works! Glad you're back in business.
New computer?

Thanks!

Old computer actually.

I finally have a dedicated music space in my house and I was getting tired of moving my laptop around and hooking up everything when I wanted to work on music. I was going to buy a Mac mini for my new music space but then remembered I had an old 2011 27" iMac in my electronics room that I used to use for music production.

It's a quad core i5 2.7 ghz with 16gb's of RAM. I reinstalled the OS from scratch (High Sierra is the latest it will accept) and it actually can hold it's own pretty well. I loaded up a ton of instruments, reverbs, and samples to push it to it's limit.
With a Presonus Quantum 2 set to 64 samples (1.8ms output and 3.4ms round trip latency) I was only pushing 50% cpu with 8 tracks plus some sends running a cacophony of samples, instruments, and reverb.

Seems good enough to me so...
I just ordered an 1TB SSD kit for it and plan to swap the hard drive because the old mechanical one is getting a bit too slow after almost 9 years of use. Might as well get some more years out of this thing while I can Plus a $150 hard drive upgrade is much cheaper than a $1600 new Mac mini.
