I wouldn't trust that cpu meter if multicore/multiprocessor support is turned on in Live, better to check with activity monitor.
I don't think RME have release their Mountain Lion drivers yet but Lion is supported, I am using the lion RME drivers on Mountain Lion and they seem to work fine to me.
There really shouldn't be much difference between cpu usage from SL to lion as the kernel has not changed much, Lion had enhancements for multi core stuff so should perform a small amount better than SL.
Your new machine should be much much faster than your old 13" i5, especially with that much ram. |

I can try my machine with monitor, but those are result in a forum, and I don't have the opportunity to tes bost systems by myself.

I'll try Mountain Lion.

Especially now, because the old one is dead
But it seems the diference is not what it could be. 29-30%cpu load to 21-24%... in ableton display (you are right, it should be better to test with monitor... and to see the influence of the quad cores... Maybe it's really better to handle a lot of tracks. The main diference was between C2Duo and Sandy Bridge! I think Cpu load isn't the most important. I wish I had a very stable computer without any audio dropout. That's still not the case with Ableton, but it's maybe more a soft problem. I tried Cubase, Logic and especially Reaper with very good results. |

I'm gradually going of live, it seems to require much larger buffer sizes than anything else.
Turning off multiprocessor allows you to get the latency down but then you run out of CPU, catch 22.
I'm hoping that bitwig will be a bit more performant or maybe ableton could do some recoding for the more recent processors. |

I didn't know that. I'm also waiting for bitwig! |

fwiw, although not brilliant, the G2 demo works okay in WINE, and on WinOnX (which essentially wine for £3 on the Appstore). _________________ ACHTUNG!

Hi everbody,
I did some tests and the problem is that new WineBottler versions includes a release of Wine that won’t let our G2 Demo to detect audio card. I’ve uploaded 1.2.3 version of WineBottler and linked it on this tutorial. Please download this version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27439691/WineBottlerCombo_1.2.3.dmg |

Thank you eXisteNz,
Did you also tried to install brunov's open source editor with this WineBottler? |
