    Live 12 apparently looks for an x86 processor so won't run on anything else. Live 11, however, will install on Windows ARM. They probably have a reason but it's a little bit strange.

    Very "hands-on" type of Sequencer. I prefer that rather than others. Plus it's circular which for some reason makes more sense to my Brain and it has quite a few built-in scales 😅! Great video and thank you for explaining all about the Oct Tone Module. 🎉

    Ich war vor einigen Jahren immer treuer Zuschauer seiner Sendungen, wo er noch die MS Laptops "getestet" hat. Bin aber wieder abgewandert als er angefangen hat, zu sehr dieses Modularzeugs zu promoten. War heute mal wieder bei ihm und es ist noch schlimmer geworden: Überall dieses Kabelzeugs - ich kanns nicht verstehen - was treibt diese Leute dazu sich mit diesen Modulen zu beschäftigen - es klingt immer nach den Moog-Burgen in den frühen 80zigern- und 90ziger Jahren, wobei sogar ein Klaus Wunderlich - einer der besten Orgelvirtuosen - sich geradezu genötigt sah, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen - und so ist auch eine seiner der m. E. besten LPs entstanden: "Uraltedelschnulzensynthesizergags" hat er das genannt - und er war ein Kalauer, er hat sich über alles lustig gemacht ...

    Cubase 13 works ok with Steinberg's own built-in ASIO driver. Since it's all emulated and not native ARM yet, performance of course isn't stellar, but it works for smaller projects. I tested this with a Surface Laptop 7th edition (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM). Latency with the Steinberg ASIO driver is 10ms Input/20ms Output when disabling the Input Device in the driver's setting. Ableton 11 can also be installed, while 12 is blocking installation on ARM for now. Roland Cloud Manager and their VSTs work as well. The biggest issue is of course no drivers for Audio Interfaces yet. Time will tell if devs jump on the hype. Fingers crossed!

  • @MoltenMusicTech

    I think that because WASAPI is a generic driver it has to work with a thousand difference audio systems on a thousand different computers, which means it will always have built in safety buffers to cope with the crappiness of OEM implimentation and prioritse uninterupted Netflix playback - it has to work with everything on every system. A specialised ASIO driver only has to work with one thing, on one form of very standardised connection and so will always perform better and be more consistently stable.

    If you wanna get rid of the glitch, noise and distortion problem in the multi sample algo: go to parameter ( current Firmware ) 72 ” gate offset " and increase it to approximately 200. by default it’s on zero. It costed me 200 euros sd cards ( none of them helped either Sandisc extrem pro nor the delkins ) and your problems shouldn’t be there anymore. A better sd cad is always good for the disting ex. but Increasing the gate offset should also work probably with the factory card. For ppl with older firmware it is on parameter 42. disting ex is a tremendous module if you are patient and don’t have problems with 1000‘s of parameters. If yes it’s not for you. Ah yes and you absolutely need the second big screen.

    The answer to everyone's question is No. The Surface Pro is not that great for running a studio. It's ok for an old plugin or a dedicated bit of software. I'd say if you really want to go down the PC route, best processor you can get, best memory you can get, biggest HD you can get, or get a MAC.

    Yeah, not the point. The surface has other qualities in form and interaction that make it interesting. I’ve been running my studio on one since the surface pro 3. It’s great. You can do more, obviously, on a huge desktop machine, if that’s your bag.

    My surface pro 11 has 1 Terabyte and 32 Gb of RAM. I’ve never had such a powerful PC in my entire life. My test project has 32 tracks, all analogic (guitars, drums, hardware keyboards, voices..), each with at least a compressor VST, an equaliser VST , and a sophisticated reverb. Some has modulation and delay too. Tell me I can't do music with my Surface... I practice music production on my computer since 1998, when Logic Pro was running only on Windows..

    I know that others have remarked upon this before, but I truly love your "I dunno" sort of approach to things. "Let's give it a go," all that sort of stuff. I find it particularly suited to the topic at hand, but I also think that the world at large would benefit from a large percentage of humans adopting more of that approach, in general. When I was 18, I was smarter than everyone. Now that I'm 46, I finally know what Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy was talking about when he said, "All I know is that I don't know nothing." It actually makes things a lot easier.
