![]() Of course, you cannot change anything about that track while it is frozen – hence the term ‘frozen.’ But doing this to your midi tracks can help ease up the load on your CPU. The easiest way to do this is to Freeze your midi tracks.įreezing temporarily renders your midi track (which is CPU intensive with its VST instrument and effects) to audio, which is far less intensive on your CPU. However, there are ways to lessen the load on your CPU without having to give up the elements you love. I, for one, agree that less is not always more. Since the most common reason for Ableton Live crashing is CPU overload, the best way to remedy the issue is to lessen the load on your CPU.įor those of us who throw everything but the kitchen sink into our mixes, this may sound like heresy. Step 4: Freeze/flatten midi tracks to avoid CPU overload There is a way to solve that problem so you can still use your favorite VSTs. However, if your computer struggles with CPU-intensive VSTs, don’t despair. I’m a month into the VCV world (I waited until V2 before getting deep with it - a pro license was this year’s Christmas present from my parents) and, at some stage in the future, I look forward to contributing modules of my own.You can check your CPU load up the top right of the DAW (see where it says 20%). I’m just super grateful for the time everybody invested in the development of VCV Rack and the immense universe of modules for it. Perhaps, for Logic users and others needing an Intel AU, perhaps a wrapped VST could provide a great interim solution? ![]() I’m sure it’s not a trivial matter to roll out an AU-Intel incarnation of VCV Rack 2 Pro and time is the most precious resource for everybody. I’m not 100% sold on Live 11 in general (performance on my Intel system is substantially worse than 10), so I installed Live 10 on my M1 Mac Book Air which I’m using for my VCV adventures. BitWig Studio 4’s enhancements make it super attractive for us modular folk, plus the very sensible firewalling of plug-ins and its ability to simultaneously host ARM/Intel Plug-ins in VST and AU formats is very cool indeed. I do own a BitWig Studio 4 license however Live has been my main DAW since version 4. AU / DirectX / etc) and cross-platform DAWs (however Logic is super sexy and immensely efficient). Since I’m one of those cross-platform people, I always prefer to use a VST of anything I use rather than a plug-in format that’s exclusive to an OS (e.g. (*) ive converted a number of my apps to run natively, and it wasn’t a big deal… but every app is different… and with a large number of 3rd party modules, perhaps it was more problematic. … as it is now, when we get universal/native support, we are going to have another round of endless questions on … is module X supporting universal/native binary? when is it coming?īut hey ho, hindsight etc… perhaps it was a bigger undertaking that we imagine (*), and we are where we are ! This full rebuild cycle was required for 2.0 anyway, so why, make modules developers/user go thru it twice? Making vcv support native/universal will require modules to be updates/re-released. I do think releasing vcv 2.0 without universal binary support was a mistake… Its not perfect, as Live is my main daw (and im not reverting to intel ), but it’s workable. If I feel the need for Live and Bitwig I use Loopback to the standalone. A Ableton Live, 305 Live API, 308 Live device, 306, 311 Adaptive noise. … also this would mean vcvrack could run within Logic Pro X. I suspect, for now, this is what VCV will do, since they already mention other plug in formats. ![]() This is the position Im in with a couple of other plugins (Madrona Labs, looking at you ) Exactly macOS already has a bridge for AU plugins. ![]()
