Ableton runs beautifully on my new M1 but the CPU meter is bollocks - Since I moved to an M1 (4 months ago) I just turned the Ableton CPU meter off - if I want to know anything meaningful I look at Activity monitor.duncanm wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 9:28 pmI don't believe the CPU level in Live under M1 at all. Always seems to level out at about 30 regardless of how many instances for some VST that made my previous MBP sound like an aircraft taking off and peaked the CPU meter there. And some that seem to dip below some of the allegedly 'heavier' CPUs, like Waves' new sampler, seem to make the whole thing heat up so it's all over the place really.jonljacobi wrote: Mon Jan 31, 2022 10:09 pm I didn't notice a huge difference. I think CPU usage on the song I tested dropped from around 35% to perhaps 26%. All Ableton plug-ins. A little disappointing to be honest. That said, the M1 performance overall is good. Not breathtakingly faster than my older i7-6770, but certainly a lot less power draw and heat. No fan spin-up which is very nice.
Live 11.1 Apple M1 (Rosetta or not ?)
