I have tried to render to disk today for the first time with Live 6 on my 2.0gHz Macintel and even though it seems to go through the motions it doesn't do anything! No file is created at all. What could be wrong?

what are you rendering and from where?

are you rendering whole songs from the arrangement or clips from the session?

I was rendering from the arrangement window and using the Loop/Punch - recording region brace. Anyway it failed to render on every occassion and I was doing nothing more than I had done in Live 5.xxx. After I quit and restarted Live 6 it started working.
It could be a bug of some sort because it should work everytime. It may have to do with memory/ram not being released to perform the job such that a restart will release this ram.

dunno man - i have only just switched from using a PC to Mac and have nt tried rendering yet - i will try tomorrow

is what you are rendering a file which you were using in 5 or one that is new to 6 ?- maybe something has tweaked

i saved all my 5 sets as self contained but when opened in 6 none of the samples could be located - tweaaaakkkk - so i´m in the process of going through that -
