Poll about Live 11.2. What's your experience ?

Post by Calagan » Sun Oct 09, 2022 5:44 am

Hi all

I still didn't update to Live 11.2 (I'm still on 11.1.5).
I noticed some of you had a lot of issues, while some had not, but it's difficult to know how much of each camp there is.
Usually, people that have problems write a post. Happy people don't post on this forum to say how much they are happy...

I think it could help if we all get a bit of a statistical view regarding who's got issues with Live 11.2 and who's not.

Thanks a lot for your contribution...

M1 Mac mini.
First time opening 11.2 the AU plug-ins on my Master track showed as missing (all of them, different vendors). Quitting and re-opening solved it.
Other than that, no issues.

Thanks for the feedback.

To all of you : don't hesitate in entering into details in the comments. More details means understanding better...

I'm wondering why the beta seemed to be perfect, while the 11.2 release apparently made some troubles for some folks... :?:

What is left out is OS versions. Windows 10 or 11.

I could add the OS versions, but it would become too difficult to read at a first sight. Specially that there are Windows 10 and 11, but also the numerous Mac OS...
What can be done is that people voting they have issues explain the details in the comments.

2021 16” M1 MBP Pro chip 32 gb of ram 2 TB

I always left automatic updates on until 11.2, acustica audio plug-ins seem to be freaking out on 11.2, but Ableton as a whole takes a good 2 seconds to load aside from normal loading where everything is greyed out, like a strange let’s find everything type of thing.

Anyways my main problem is that I can’t get Ableton to stop auto updating, I have auto updates set to never, and close Ableton and re-open and it’s fine for a while, maybe like a day or day and a half, but then sure enough I open Ableton and it starts verifying update and it’s back to 11.2, and when I go into preferences it still shows Never under automatic updates. This has happened like 4 times already and it’s not that much of a hassle as I just keep the 11.1.6 installer a click away and it takes a few minutes to downgrade, but it’s a lil annoying to have to this every day or so. I’m also a little sad now that I’m scar’d by auto updates and will now leave that at never when it’s never been a problem.

BTW what’s up with Audio Units being AUv2 now? Is this a huge improvement all around? Or nothing special?

AUv2 is just the usual Mac Audio Unit format.
AUv3 is the iphone/ipad (iOs) format.
So with Live 11.2, you can now use iOS plugins.

My poll is not very significant (19 answers is not a lot) but it seems "in general" people don't have much issues with 11.2...
I think the only thing that attracts me in this update is the fact you can now distinguish between Audio and MIDI .alc files, so I'm still not sure if I want to update and risk the issues some are describing...

By the way : today, 26% of users are saying in this poll they have "minor issues" with 11.2.

Please could you describe your issues when choosing for a negative vote ?
I think it could be very useful for everybody...

Live crashes when direct loading a Set. When loading a almost empty set and then the "Crash" Set it works without crash. Win 10
copy the text, open Live > drag in empty M4L device > open Max editor > paste > save M4L device

Because it's quite an annoying issue... No more problems when using Live after loading the set ?

Biggest issue of 11.2 on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave) is that it does not quit properly.

It may appear to quit but it leaves processes hung in the background.

These processes will prevent normal shutdown of your Mac. They may also prevent re-launching Live after you've "quit" a session.

This is a fairly serious problem and I'm surprised Ableton has not patched it yet.

This is exactly my problem..I start a set or load one up and within 5 mins this happens.

completely unusable.
i have downgraded to 11.1.6 until it can be fixed..have sent crash logs to the support also.
never has this problem with live and have been a user since live 4.
Ay first i thought it was an issue with cromophone 3 but it happens with all my plugs..
terrible CPU spikes and audio cut outs like ive never had before.
then the freeze comes in and you cant even shut down using CMD Option ESc...no option but to switch off from the start button.
