HarryJ999ParticipantI’m hoping someone can help….my mate just bought a Imac lap top about 2months ago……it’s top of the line – with optimum rap, speed…u name it….
We’re running Live on it…….the problem is that when we make even the most simplest beat on live….the program seems to have extreme difficulty playing the beat…..it uses up way more cpu power than it should…..and makes the beat…."skip and stutter" excessively!!
Any idea’s on why this is occuring…..?? I’m think it could be bad ram?
please help
cheers

HarryJ999ParticipantHmmm….to be honest i dnt know much about mac’s yet…but it is an Ibook – which comes with the intel cpu.
If you dnt mind.could u explain how i can check the "universal binary" thing………and how can i switch it, in case it is Rossetta.
I appreciate your help…

HarryJ999Participantno prob..
but: if it’s an ibook it doesn’t come with intel-cpu.
do one thing first: click the apple in the left corner and coose "About this Mac" from the pull down menu.
u’ll see the important things as Version 10.X.X,
cpu XX PowerPC G4 _or_ IntelDuoCore.
check it and post ur result, then check which version of ableton live u r using and post it.u can’t ‘switch’ between native use and rosetta, that’s two totally different versions.

johnselektaParticipantSounds to me linke you’re running Live 5.0 on an Intel Mac. You need to be running at least 5.2 if your machine is a MacBook or MacBook Pro. Any Live 5 will run on a PowerPC Mac, ie an iBook, Powerbook etc. It needs to be universal binary and Live 5.2 was rewritten especially.

AnonymousInactiveI don’t know "Live" or any hardware it might require, but many times "stuttering" can also be caused by the latency settings. Again; I don’t know Live and if it even has these settings, but check if there is any setting somewhere in the audio-card settings for "Latency". Simply said, it’s the speed your soundcard is able to respond in.
The lower the value, the quicker your software/audio will respond when you hit play or stop for example. So lower is better, but set it TO low and the playback will start to stutter or sometimes just stop entirely.
