Deleting it frees up Live.

When starting Live from scratch, especially on older Live versions pre-12, loading a Max for Live device for the first time can sometimes take a few seconds due to Max initialization in the background. There should not really be any performance degradation at runtime though, but if you notice an issue happening over time that seems unrelated to the expected additional processing load from adding instruments and effects, contact me here or via email (hello@straycurrent.co) and I will look into it.

Someone had also mentioned people noticing performance issues with the newest Live version/beta (the one that introduces Extensions) - I have not been able to test that one myself yet, but that sounds like it is an issue with Live itself.

I'm on Live 12.4 (non beta).

I have heard that 12.4 has issued with random spinning wheels but I didn't really experience it until now.

I've use Harmony beam in other sessions now and I haven't encountered the slowdown.

Great to hear. If you encounter those kinds of issues again feel free to get in touch as I would also be eager to find out the cause. Have not had any similar reports thus far.

SceneQuencer - I created a tool to let you make a playlist of scenes in Ableton. It can then automatically record the playlist to arrangement view saving you the manual steps of triggering scenes.

Latest device from myself -

Track Name Utility helps you clean up and organise Ableton Live projects fast.

Rename large numbers of tracks and clips in Ableton Live with just a few clicks. Find and replace text, add prefixes or suffixes, remove unwanted tags, automatically number tracks, and update selected tracks or entire projects at once.

Great for cleaning up imported stems, preparing a project for mixing, or getting a session ready to send to a collaborator, Track Name Utility helps eliminate repetitive renaming tasks and keeps projects organised.

Track names can also be copied directly to clips with a single click, helping keep both Session and Arrangement View tidy and easy to navigate.

Spend less time organising projects and more time making music.
