Ableton Live lets you easily create, produce and perform music within one intuitive interface. Live keeps everything in sync and works in real-time, so you can play and modify your musical ideas without interrupting the creative flow. How's ableton running??? I just got a Macbook pro 16, but the fan noise is out of control. Seriously considering going to an m1 Mac mini in hopes that it would be quieter. Logic seems to be killin it on that thing, which i do use, but ableton is the main daw. I'm just concerned it won't be able to handle it.
- Feb 10, 2021 There's no doubt that Apple's new M1 Macs have shaken up the marketplace with its low power consumption and fantastic performance—even with non-native Mac apps, surprisingly.
- Alright - Ableton Live running flawlessly on an Apple M1 Air with Big Sur and using a Push 2. Putting it through its paces, but have had zero issues so far. Plugins that work - U-He Repro-1/5, Madrona Labs Kaivo/Aalta, Bias FX 2 Plugins that don't work - Native Instruments (as a whole), iLok, Softube Modular (due to iLok, ugh).
