Ableton 10 performance test with Macbook Pro 2020 Intel vs Macbook Air M1

Quick test to check what performance gains we can expect from MBA M1, 8gb ram.

[felipefs]

All these videos should tell viewers that the new Apple m1 is running a translation layer called rosetta(2) that will impact performance. At this time Ableton is not optimized for ARM, so rosetta in the M1 is translating the x86 code. The Intel macbook pro is running natively (no translation).

[YattirSmith]

Yeah the Intel Mac is running Ableton natively the MacBook air is running it through an emulation.... So it being able to run at all on that MacBook air is amazing

Wait until Abelton and FL studio create their Big Sur/M1 compatible versions.

Looking forward to the Macbook Pro test!

Abletone 10 isnt optimized yet with apple silicon. Wait for ableton 11..

[Stefaneadghe]

Thanks for the test! What are the specs for the Air? Looking also forward to the M1 Pro Test, as i will receive mine next week and still undecided if it’s a good idea to go for this, or if I should just go for Intel..

I think it's because Ableton only recognises 4 cores of the 8 core processor. In Logic you can get it to run all 8 at its far more efficient. Ableton has always been terrible for efficiency I really hope they update soon, but this is why I bought the 16' 6 months ago because I knew Ableton would be useless! When they do update it will be epic

Once Ableton 11 goes out without the need of using Rosetta emulation . Will process all good . That’s why if you use Logic Pro for m1 etc runs smoothly

[ThermAquaGaming]

Were you able to compare these 2 same models in Logic? Looks like Ableton is not "yet" optimized. I could switch from Ableton to Logic if an optimisation doesn't come.

What is the full specs of each comp? Perhaps put hat in the vid description. Should really help everyone .Thx!!!

[jpmakaveli]

Hi, just came across your awesome channel, just wondering if u have any videos discussing what presets are, how to download and use sample packs and getting started on ableton

[AndreiYakubouski]

Hello! How is it going with MacBook Pro Apple M1? Looking forward to the comparison!

[tristatemind]

Macbook pro M1 vs Air M1 with Ableton? This would be extremely helpful for all

[zeus]

Most of the VSTs are not working under M1, so everyone should just wait approx 12 months still.

[bigtony]

Its an ableton bug, acticity mobitor shows ableton cpu load at 114%

[agungputranto]

Thank you sir.. what about Ableton with Bigsur on Intel mac and M1 mac

[mario]

How much ram does the air have ? Would you recommend air M1 16gb 256ssd for Music production?

[j.sherwoodowl]

What OS is on the Intel MBP? When I upgraded to Big Sur Ableton's CPU started showing 20-35% at idle.

[Hardsonix]

and better use the activity monitor.. ableton doesnt really show cpu usage.

[ferruizmusico]

How Many trancks did You run into that proyect? And how Many Hours?? I AM interested en m1 but worried about the temperatures.
