Best Mac Specs To Run Ableton Pro

Best Mac specs for running Logic Pro X. But it is possible that for the one core limitation both Logic & Ableton have for a single track, that an i5 actually. I'm about to get into music production again and chose Ableton Live as DAW software. I plan to run it on a 64-Bit OS (I know that the next Mac OS X will be 64 bit) with a 4 core CPU. Which platform is better to run it: Windows XP 64, Vista 64 or Mac OS X? So regarding stability and latency, which OS is better? Best specs to run live 10? But I decided to finally update to Ableton 10. Best specs are certainly not an 8 year old system. The ASUS Zenbook has a 14-inch screen with an Intel i.7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. With these specs, Ableton is sure to run smoothly. You can find the ASUS Zenbook online for between $1,200 and $1,550. It is available for purchase at PC Nation, Staples, and Amazon. The ASUS Zenbook gets excellent reviews from professionals. One more thing to remember- Ableton can be run in 32 or 64bit versions. On a 64bit computer, you can install Ableton in either 32 or 64bit mode. The downside to a 32bit computer is it can't make use of more than 4GB of RAM, though for most basic applications 4GB should be enough.

Need help with setting up or other technical issues?

Hi, recently i was running Live Suite 9.2 on El Capitan 2012
and I was able to run plug ins over plug ins over plug ins with no problem at all!
but I decided to finally update to Ableton 10.
when I did this I also updated to Sierra.
when I did this i realized I fucked up..
Now my ableton is lagging even when i have a small plug in running and
the cpu usage in ableton goes beyond 90% with only a minimum amount of stuff running.
can someone tell me what I can do to improve this?
it would make my life alot easier.
