Win7 + Ableton + TI?

[zeno]

Hey there. After my frustration of BUYING vista 64 and not being able to use it because of one piece of hardware (My TI), I'm thinking about installing Win7 32. I've got 6 gigs of ram and am currently in XP. So, of course, I'm only using 3 gigs.

Has anyone tested the TI in 7 under ableton (7) ?

Would love to hear the reports.

I'm running 7 RC1 32bit for testing purpases (I still have an XP install for music). The TI drivers v3 install fine but the VC control is extremely sluggish under Cubase 4. I'm not sure if this is any better in Live.

I reported this slowness to support, but ofcourse w7 is not supported yet by Access so I'm not sure if they will fix the bug.

Thanks for the report.

I think I might give it a shot. I'll let you know how it goes.

i'm running the latest TI beta with 7 RC1 and cubase 5. don't have any performance problems with the GUI and everything works as expected.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm running the v3 stable release, I'll check out the beta soon and report back my findings

Loving win 7.

Yeah, I've installed the latest stable release and the VC UI is quite sluggish. Everything works fine though. I'll give the beta a try.

System specs:

Intel i7 920 2.66 ghz
6gigs Corsair PC3-10666 1333MHz DDR3 ram
Intel DX58SO Extreme Series Mobo
ATI Radeon HD2600 XT
windows 7 [32 bit version]
ableton live 7

Okay

I installed the beta. It did NOT solve the sluggishness problem. The VC display is updating at maybe 1 or 2 frames per second while the tune is playing.

Ableton's CPU meter is at about 8%.

Taskman CPU meter is at about 7%.

After playing my track for about a minute, I got BSOD.

Retrying, I got a message from windows:

"The color scheme has been changed.

The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 Basic.

Program: Live 7.0.3.exe
Publisher: Ableton
Process identifier (PID):256"

I'm kinda sad. I'm really enjoying 7 so far, but it looks like I may have to wait before enjoying it too much.

Edit: I just remembered that Live 7 isn't even supported under Vista. I just might jump for Live 8 just to see if it solves the problem.
