Meanwhile, you keep saying 'XP' which unfortunately isn't being manufactured anymore and I've heard the same nightmarish anecdotes on Vista that you're talkng about on Mac. ugh, you’re such a dream crusher ;)

Check the Ableton performance test forum. Also: OSX 10.5 is far from perfect. Audio hardware support and software support is still very bad. Ableton Live works but a lot of stuff not. Logic is even having problems. And ProTools LE is a serious no-no on the Mac right now. An that annoys me about the Mac. Because choices are less, I was expecting everything to work perfectly, well it's not. OSX looks great and works nicely. Slicker than XP, but for raw performance XP beats OSX. forgot to mention: I have a MacBook Pro, it’s cool, but PC’s are faster. Check the Ableton performance test forum.

Crash was bad. Second time I ran Live 7. On external instruments it happened. I never had problems with the exports under Live 6. When I make an export of a track, insert it in Ableton again and do an export both sound the same. Are you using some plugins which might cause the live running version to sound different than the exported versions? Got my money back from Ableton. Crash was bad. Second time I ran Live 7.

This is first I've heard of a crash on mac.
