@thesimplicity: It seems not to be a crash. Racks based on multisamples are needing a loooooong time to load. I hope the Abes will optimize the sample load performance before Live 7 ;-)

Depends on what you’re referring to. My sense was that Live MIDI sync works about the same as anything that uses MIDI time code, which can cause issues syncing during tempo changes because of the way the messages are formatted … but what do you mean, Matt?

Dual AMD performance is *great* news. I’ll be firing this up on both my dual-G5 and AMD 3800 x2 so can’t work.

So does anyone know what the final word is on the MIDI sync performance of Live 6? Is it reliable this time around?

“Anybody know of any dual PPC benchmarks for Live 6?”

Yup, it screams on my dual AMD. I would have bought it for this feature alone! Now my processor doesn’t freak out when I hit play. My current track would peak Ableton out at about 110% when it started out and then chill out to about 80%. Ableton 6 dual processor support reduced this to a start up of 55% and a run time of 40%.

SWEEEET!!!

[...] I just did my upgrade, but haven’t had a chance to give it a test drive. I’m sure it’s nothing short of awesome. CDM has some info, or you can visit the Ableton site. [...]

Anybody know of any dual PPC benchmarks for Live 6? My repaired/refurbished dual PPC CPU that caught afire about 6 weeks ago is finally being returned to me sometime early next week. I was hoping it would be returned in time for me to test the Ableton beta that I downloaded a few days ago. Any links?

Definitely sounds like a bug to me. Be sure to send a bug report to them; racks are new. Have you tried disabling all plugins and retrying?

wow, Live 6 does not like my computer. I tried to drag one of the demo racks to a track just to see what it was like… CPU shot up to 100%, then I had to force quit. I relaunched and tried again with another patch, same result. It only seems to happen with racks, not individual instruments… which is a shame because the rack would be my big reason for upgrading. Hopefully it’s just one of those X.0.1 bugs that’ll get hammered out in an update.
