Re: Ableton 12 and the use of efficiency and performance cores on M-processors

I'm on an M3 Max with 128 GB of RAM, fully upgraded to the top CPU spec. I can confirm the Efficiency cores aren't being used and I'm waiting around for Live to bounce tracks for a mixdown in Ableton Live 12 Suite.

For those arguing against "the need" for it, it's not about whether you're maxing out the CPU and causing issues, it's about rendering audio faster for me. This machine is extremely powerful and I shouldn't be waiting 30 minutes to render 20-30 stems if all the resources were efficiently being used. I spent way too much money on this computer, and my main use case is for music. Learning about this software-related limitation is extremely disappointing.

Please consider enabling the use of all of my machine's resources to make working in Live faster and more efficient, so I can get on with my mixdown.

Thanks for your consideration.
