#Ableton live mac drivers

I plan on using an RME Firewire 400, so good firewire drivers are important. It's going to be a quad core desktop (not a notebook), and Ableton will be all that runs on it, plus several plugins (instuments & fx).

And then when I bought a tower subsequent to that, I simply slapped a FW (TI, of course!) card in the tower and moved my interface over to it (along with plundering my old tower for my Echo Mia so the new tower has its built in SB clone, the MIA, and usually my MOTU 828mkII, not that it still doesn't cost me two bucks for a cup of coffee). I have to say that I think the only computer transition that didn't have interface continuity (ie, same interface as the previous computer) was when I bought my laptop. While I can appreciate your thinking and your desire to amortize your investment over the longest period of time (as well, no doubt, as minimize the frequency of the pain of upgrading), it might be more helpful to think of your rig more in modular terms. Is that no good reason to use 64 bit? And no I don't NEED it, I just want it, :-) After all this Workstation should be able to give good service for about 4-5 years.Īlso, I'm curious as to why the next OS X is not 100% 64 Bit? I'm not really up to date there with developments.Four or five years is a long time in computer years, as we all know. The way In understand it 64 bits mean double precision floating point without perfomance hit and thus better audio quality.
