[mikolo52]

1. Ableton Live CPU Meter % with the Live Set for the Lesson. 34%
2. Maximum number of playback tracks? 112
3. Laptop/Desktop? Make/Model? HP Envy 17” notebook
4. Operating System? Win10 (not sure how to check version)
5. Ableton Live version? 10.1 Build 2019 05 14
6. CPU Make, Model, and Speed? i7 4800MQ 2.70 GHz
7. Amount of Ram? 16 gb
8. Soundcard? Focusrite Safire 4i4 (3rd gen)
9. Hard Disk type (SSD or HDD)? A little of each

My experiences with Live are usually more experimental than with actual song creation. For this reason, I’m almost always keeping my buffer size as low as I can get away with. This test has been a real eye opener for me. I had no clue my old laptop computer could perform like this when it came down to arrangement. This could be fun

Additionally, it was fun seeing how the master channel handled all the action. Was starting to get to a point where I almost wasn’t sure if it was my CPU or the drastic compression. But I caught some dropping etc.

HELLO SAME SPEC AS YOU EXCEPT FOR
SOUNDCARD : MOTU 2
RAM : 32
AND : HP OMEN 15 2019

RESULTS:
1. Ableton Live CPU Meter % with the Live Set for the Lesson. 22%
2. Maximum number of playback tracks? 107!!!

So same spec 32 ram for me and less tracks!! and for beginning low CPU 22% and you 34% weird....

very interesting...

New computer, new aalder lake i5 chip. Very excited to test this, haven't upgraded my main computer in almost 8 years

1. Ableton Live CPU Meter % with the the Live Set for the Lesson. Max 40%, average 25%
2. Maximum number of playback tracks: 348, the following duplication of the whole tracks gets glitches
3. Laptop/Desktop? Make/Model? Custom Built Desktop PC
4. Operating System? Windows 11
5. Ableton Live version? 11.1
6. CPU Make, Model, and Speed? i5 12600K
7. Amount of Ram? 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4
8. Soundcard (and driver version if you know it)? RME Fireface UC, ver 1.1221
9. Hard Disk type (SSD or HDD) and Speed (if you know)? m2 NVME SSD

I lowered the buffer to 128 samples, I duplicated until 203 tracks, no problems while playing, reached 75% in the CPU meter.

So far super happy with the new computer, but wonder if Live is going to be optimized to use the alder lake architechture ot its fullest

interesting because i want to buy an other computer since 8 years too with same CPU than you this year...so excited to test this too!
