Have the Live 11 issues been fixed already?
I checked an early version (I think 11.0.1) and half of my VST2 plugins weren't recognized, and also some CPU issues were there. I'm on OSX Mojave.
Just curious if it is now working to a satisfactory degree because I would really like to have the MPE integration and the comping feature.

 

In Windows it gives the Power Plan "Ultimate" if you dont know this. This works even better than the Max Perfromance Plan! You can find it here how you can acess it because its not available in default

 

macOS mojave - Ableton 11.0.5 (beta?)
the signal does not enter the daw (ext keyboard/mic): all inputs are silent. The same project opened with version 11.0 works perfectly
Is it me or this release is buggy?

After the most recent Live update 11.0.5 (Legit) every time I freeze a track the "re-enable automation" button turns on. Anyone else noticing this?

 

W10, Live 11.0.5 (2021-07-07)
CPU meter IMO still shows irrelevant info vs system or/and other tools - e.g. with 1 instance of Diva Ableton shows 9% (vs system 1%). With 10 Divas they both show ~12%. Pretty recent PCs tho, so there is some headroom anyway..

Here inputs (mics) work as supposed (I know, different OS)

Nope. Can not replicate. Unless you mess with an automated parameter before freezing it stays off. There are cases when this happens, not really linked to freezing directly, but I can see it happen during the procedure. Check this out:

Hello guys and ArticStorm (nice to see we started off this thread back in February haha - thanks for helping us out install all the Ableton packs back then including the old ones from previous Ableton versions).

Which brings me to this - sorry if it has been addressed before, I didn't have the courage to read the whole thread backward:

1. I still have massive CPU issues sometimes when opening certain racks/packs (only with older Ableton 7/8/9 ones) in Ableton 11, as soon as I open it or perform with them the CPU immediately spikes at 80/90%. Usually I can find the culprit and delete some part in the rack but this really is a pain in the ass.

For example try opening "Magic Racks" which I believe is from Ableton 9 period. Do you guys sometimes have this issue too? Has anyone found a way to fix this? Is it only me or is there a hack of some sort? Or shall I just trash the racks that as a matter of fact won't adapt to Ableton 11.

2. Overall 11 is stable like I almost had 0 crash in a year, but the CPU with M1/Big Sur is still not optimized, I have a powerful machine, the latest updates of Ableton and everything else, and I feel like Ableton limits my performance way too much. I don't see an improvement since I have a better machine/OS I expected more juice.

Can't wait to upgrade with M2 computers next year I will need at least a heavy 16-core and 64GB of RAM to defeat Ableton engineers in making our lives so difficult.

Best to everyone.

 

FYI I updated with the latest today

11.0.11 Release Notes
Bugfixes:

• Fixed an issue that caused some Live Sets to become corrupted even though the sets could be opened normally in earlier Live versions.

 

BTW Apple Native Silicon Support in progress since end of September with the Beta program

https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/live-111-apple-silicon-support-now-in-public-beta/

 

Okay after updating to Monterey just now, the problem with certain old .alc in Ableton (like take any 'Taiko Ensemble') is still there, with CPU spiking for no reason.

I guess our problem will be solved when Ableton finally runs natively soon.

New features and improvements:

• Fixed an issue on Apple silicon computers where Drum Racks nested inside of an Instrument Rack could produce CPU overload and audio dropouts even when many of the nested chains were silent.

11.1b6 Release Notes (November 2)
New features and improvements:

• In the Shifter device, moving through pitch shifting back to 0 (e.g. no pitch shift) will sound smoother.
  Note: There may still be volume changes between no pitch shift and pitch shift amounts due to the difference between the dry and shifted signals (small amounts of shift cause phase cancellations).
• Sample information can be displayed or hidden by using the right-click context menu option “Show Sample Information” from the Clip View’s title bar.
• The divider between the clip detail view panels and the clip content can now be dragged horizontally to switch between horizontal/vertical and folded mode. The menu entries to switch to horizontal or vertical mode have been removed; dragging the divider is the only way to switch to these modes.
  A menu item to toggle automatic mode on or off remains.
• Live now shows mouse cursors pointing in a single direction when hovering over split views which can be resized in one direction only. For example, this is the case with the splitter between the session/arrangement view and the device detail view: The device detail view can't be made bigger, but only dragged closed by dragging down. The cursor now indicates this by pointing down only. Similarly, when the detail view is closed, the resize cursor indicates that it can only be dragged up to open it. Note: These cursors are currently available on Mac only.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused the Max for Live device MPE Control to block MIDI Program Change messages.
• Text now appears as expected in Live’s Preferences and the Multiband Dynamics device.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Freezer section of the Spectral Time device to remain active even if the device itself was deactivated.
• Fixed a bug where Live no longer loaded an Instrument Rack
• Live won't fail to auto-update anymore on certain Windows computers.

Apparently 11.1 official release is around the corner, wouldn't be surprised if it's coming by the end of the year.

 

Do you also noticed a latency problem with an external midi instrument?
I'm on a Macbook Pro (15 inch 2017), latest version of Live 11.0.12 and with macOS 10.15.7. When I play with my external midi keyboard (Novation SL MKIII) or also with the Macbook keyboard I notice almost a second of delay and it's very annoying! It's not possible to play live.
When I play under Logic Pro 10.6.3 there's no issue


EDIT[Fixed]
The issue was related to my default start template. That’s really strange imo. The template was very simple an audio track, a midi track and four return channels with different reverb and delay.

After the last updates I can't load any saved preset which contains multiple effect vsts etc. Ableton crashes if you attempt to do that. It can load a preset with a single effect without issues though. Anybody else has that issue? Not a big problem, (can live with it) but it's annoying tbh.

 

When I have an issue like this it seems to be a CPU issue. Is this happening to you during old sessions or empty new sessions also?
