Ableton Forum

This would be a huge addition to me as well.

Thanks for the replies, but I'm not sure my original question was clear: while I know that ableton itself isn't really multithreaded, does it treat vsts that it runs as separate programs, which can be spread across multiple CPU's?

Thanks

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new desktop, and I'm trying to decide between the Pentium 4 630 chip (3.0Ghz) and the new Pentium 4 820 (2.8Ghz, dual core). I use Ableton with a large number of power-hungry vsts (Reaktor, Guitar Rig). I know Ableton itself isn't multithreaded, and so won't see any ...

Hi all, Having replaced my old SBLive with an Audiophile, I was thinking of switching from 48khz to 44.1. Will I have any problems working with old Ableton projects that still use 48khz clips when I record new clips in 44.1? Any other possible issues with the switch? Any compelling reason to either ...

The most powerful tool I've found for this sort of thing is EnergyXT.

A general question for people: what CPU% on Live's CPU meter do people reach before they start getting any clicks and pops? I find that I start getting glitches when the CPU reaches 40%: is this normal? I would have expected higher...

Has anyone had any experience using the relatively new M-Audio Audiophile 192 interface with Live? This is an update to the old Audiophile 2496 which includes balanced IO and 24-bit/192Khz. Sounds great, but I'm always a little leery of drivers for a new card.

Hi all,

Pretty basic question: is there any way to set Live so that when you press record for a clip, it automatically stops recording after a set amount of time, say 1/2 bar, 1 bar, 2 bars, etc?

Hi all, Just curious: what sort of CPU load (as measured by Live's CPU meter) do you guys get before your audio starts to crackle and pop? At 5 msec latency, I start to get glitches right around 35% or so, which seems kind of low. This is all under XP Home, with an SB Live using the kx drivers. I'm ...

Just wanted to second what reiky said: it would be very helpful if the setting of the 'flip' button could be saved. I actually use this plugin as a safety net for when I'm playing with lots of feedback: it cuts out the sound once it's hit an unhealthy amplitude. I use it on just about all my project...

Yes, I'd love this feature...

This may sound trivial, but *personally*, if this were done, I'm hoping notes would display in a fixed font. I make a lot of guitar loops, so I'm always tabbing them out - it's a lot easier to read with monospace fonts.

I've also used some of the workarounds that people have mentioned, but like psilosly, I'd really like a better way. In my particular case, sometimes you have a loop that's playing every bar, but then you want to change it to play every two bars, on-the-fly. Right now, my only solution is to create a...

What I'm still looking for (along with tons of others probably) is a really capable (EDP-like) VST looper plugin. What does the EDP do, that's so special? I'm not quite up to speed on hardware looping :? Andreas What's different about most hardware loopers is they'll let you continually record on t...

Can't vouch for the laptop/audio card part of your setup, but Live 4 and the fcb1010(i assume that's what you have) definitely make a great guitar combo. The signal routing should fit all your needs, and scene changes with the fcb1010 are no problem. If you want to use Live like a hardware looper, y...

Not exactly what you were looking for, but you might look into a Zoom PS-04 as an extremely portable way to get some tracks recorded:
