Live 5.2 brings native support for Apple’s new Intel-Macs. Live 5.2 will be in beta as soon as the new Intel Core Duo-equipped MacBook Pro is available and is expected to be released in February. Early MacBook Pro buyers will be able to run Live immediately and enjoy substantially higher audio performance than on today’s fastest Mac notebook.

Live 6, scheduled for release in Q3, will bring – among other features yet to be disclosed – support for multi-core/multi-processor architectures, to the benefit of both Windows and Mac OS users. This feature will bring users of Intel Core Duo-equipped Macs another large increase in audio performance, and Windows users will be able to fully exploit the speedup potential of the various available multi-core/multi-processor hardware solutions the market offers.

Live 5.2 is expected to be available, as a download, in February 2006.
