Problem with Drag&Drop? I had the same issue during installation. I had the license file on my desktop and couldn´t get LIVE licensed. Then I copied the license file to another place on my drive and - voila - it worked. Try it. Copy the ALPs to another place if you have the same problem. I´m on Win10.

 

so far so good, no crashes as yet, spire runs good and sylenth, no audio dropouts, as with all new versions you will have some bugs even tho it went through the beta faze, everyones systen is different so one might have an issue and others not, im guessing an update soon if more people are having the same bugs.

 

where is the new location of it, couldn't find it in AppData

 

Good to know. Live 10 works fine and I have not need to install LIve 11 soon.
Patience does pay, always.

 

System Requirements acc. Ableton:
- Windows 10 (Version 1909 and newer)
- i5

As you are on Win 8 that may be a show stopper as Ableton will not try to support it anymore I guess.

Also there is a requirement of an i5 Processor or higher. I have an older i3 laptop that's just too slow for Win 10 so I remained on Win 8 but I think it won't run Live 11 either. At laest not stable.

With my main machine I'm on 1909 and what I can see now all plugins that ran in Live 10 work in 11 as well. At least they are shown up in Live.

Right click'in on the meter gives this badboy.

 

Did you start Live as Admin?
If that's the case, you can't use drag&drop because OS doesn't support it in admin context.

Disable Overload display and setting CPU meter to Average tames the meter so it's not flickering all the time.

For me its ~0,6% for taskmanager and 1% to 2% for Live directly after starting w/o any plugins.
For 10.0.25 it's ~4,5% and 1% on the same PC

Yea of course I tried but didn´t work...

 

Interesting. In my case it worked on the first attempt.

I have tried to recreate the problem. I run Live on two monitors and open two windows as default. Only if I drop the .auz file on the second window it wont work.
When you place a sound file on the desktop now, can you drag & drop it to Live from there?

Is anyone else finding that "Save as Template" does nothing? It adds a template to my User Library but the only thing in the Templates tab on the browser is the default ones that came installed.

 

Windows 10 16GB
So far nothing but the usual crashes I've been used to when I left 9.7 for 11.0.
A lot of times it's Omnisphere that freezes when coping a track (while playback is running)
or when it's reading a new patch while playback is runnen
Old project do open and I get a nice warning telling me to save it as a V11 version.

What is going to take me a while is the interface. Tiny thin fonts with not enough contrast.
It looked a lot better on V9. Hard to read but my age (52) could be the problem I too ;)

I might be me (or my computer) but when MIDI is around 40% playback already starts to stutter sometimes
Over 50 and it gets worse and after that it's over.

 

haha its the same here, when ableton meter shows 40-50% CPU usage (while task manager shows 5-6%), then it stutters, whatever this is.
(win 8.1 pro here)

Maybe its the CPU? AMD 3850-FX here, pretty old.

 

Any experiences with running it in Win 7?

 

is anyone else frustrated with clip view window on the bottom right or is it only me? every little move makes it go so fast, I literally cannot precisely zoom on certain parts of the clip sometimes as it reacts to side dragging like crazy
windows 10 intel cpu and nvidia gpu

 

yeah, it's old and not so powerful

 

a guy had problem with windows 8.1, so windows 7 would be the same thing

 

the freezing while playback is a normal thing because it happens on a lot of other daws

and for the midi problems, i think you should see the audio settings or something

 

Maybe this only saving a template and not apply it as default.

Check date of the template file in this location. If it's not a date of your template save replace it manually from Your user library to set it as default.

Default Template location:
C:\Users\"Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 11.0\Preferences

User Library location:
C:\Users\"Your User Name"\Documents\Ableton\User Library

 

Seems to be ok here on Win 10 / Nvidia

 

WTF. My authorization is not sticking. Every time i open up 11 i have to reauthorize. Anyone have suggestions?
