Re: Ableton7+OSXLeopard+sooperlooper... workie?

["todd reynolds" <toddreyn@gmail.com>]

I won't touch Leopard, but otherwise, I can say that I used Ableton of ALL varieties except 7, running SooperLooper on my old 1.5 gigahertz powerbook for two years on tour in many high-pressure situations.

I recently got a 2gig macbookpro, now am using Ableton 7 with SooperLooper, so far not even a hiccup.

I have no idea why Ableton is crashing on you (it shouldn't), and sadly, from far away, not much I can do to troubleshoot.  However, whenever we run combinations of non-updated and recent software, i.e. Ableton 6 if it's not Leopard-ready, it can cause unreasonable problems.  That might be the first place to look, and I hope others on the list will chime in.  

But to be clear, here is my performance configuration.

MPB 2.2 Ghz, 2 Gigs Ram, Motu Traveler running Ableton 7, SooperLooper, all controlled with an FCB 1010 straight into the traveler.  Solid as a rock so far, but I'm not stupid, ANYthing can fail... 

All best, looking forward to hearing your successes...

So,(youve heard it before, but)  ive had it with the RC-50...  that special "cant sync with anything" feature makes it impossible to use in my current situation.   So im back to the drawing board. 

 

the question:

has anyone run the following config:?

 

Macbook Pro > Leopard (10.5.1) >  Ableton Live 7 > Sooperlooper

 

So far im running sooperlooper (and its exactly what im looking for, I THINK)

but Ableton 6 still crashes on me, even after a full hard drive wipe and new OS!!!

will Ableton 7 be more crashproof?   i am terrified of an on-stage-crash. 

 

will there ever be a solid solution?  A perfect tool with all the answers to all the glitches in our small looping world? 

 

i know its a stale subject at this point, but it sure is 

too bad Roland dropped the ball on the RC-50.   they were so close !!!
