wicked! live 6 outperforms live 5 by 223%!!!!
my old live 5 projects created a 58% CPU load... these same projects in live 6 create a CPU load of just 26%! AWESOME! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
WinXP AMD 4800+X2 Core 2.4GHz/2GB RAM/1TB HD/Presonus FireBox/Ableton Live 6, Cubase SX 3. Arturia, GMedia, Korg, NI, Sonalksis & Waves Plugins and VSTis.
How effective the multi core/processor support works for you totally depends on the Live set. The general rule is to distribute the CPU usage about several tracks and not concentrate effects within one track.
Another rule is to check if to eliminate all not needed routing between tracks and sends. This also includes to disable sends knobs when they are not used.

live 6 is far twice as CPU friendly as live 5
no offense njh, but you're nutz. live 6 is a CPU smart-beast! I created a simple 4 track project within live 5 and added plenty of effects & EQs to each track. while half of the tracks were audio, half were midi instruments (vst)... I started the sequence recorder, created some simple automations and with all the tracks playing, the highest CPU reading I got in live 5 was 58%... I then saved that project and opened it within the live 6.0b20 app... it topped out 26% CPU usage with my AMD 4800 X2 2.4GHz dual core socket 939 processor. my system specs are in my signature... I'm an end user with no reason to lie about this. when a software company adds support like this, I have to shout about it. really nice job ableton!njh wrote:nope...its been exactly the same as live 5 with me..j0shu@ wrote:can anyone else confirm this?

Actually, I was just about to post that I was disappointed in this. CPU usage is identical for me between Live 5 and Live 6 - I was hoping for a major improvement. System is a Core Duo laptop running Windows XP Pro. Live 5 shows 15% idle, peaking at about 40%, Live 6 running the same set shows the same. Task Manager CPU meters are also comparable between the two versions. Now the big question is whether audio dropouts occur at peak in v6, as they had in v5.
