@@YAMAGUCCIJP seems like your computer blow up lol. Three months still no results?

@Octavio P. bro im begging tell me please im stuck on the install for 4 days bro im starting to lose my mind please im begging you bro please

I just got Linux this week im on fedora i dont know what to do i get this one error i dont know how to fix it

@@k-rom8694 I’m also trying to install on Feddy and Ubuntu. On Fedora it just hangs…

@@trapOrdoom If I fix it I’ll let you know if you got it please tell me how

Linux has a low latency audio kernel and I guess Ableton plugs to that. That's just a guess, but as on MacOS there's no ASIO and it just works, I guess the audio latency is more on Windows drivers side than on Ableton/Linux

@@a_d_z_y__ alright so ive been on linux for a bit now but ive always had the problem with live. the problem is the cpu meter thing, its so fucked compared to windows. maybe i need to setup jack, pulse, and pipewire correctly. but also which .dll files should i add or anything. i would love a tutorial on your entire process or atleast a discord/matrix call with you, i like linux lots but not really ardour or bitwig.

@@laine3731 Sorry I can't really help you with this because I never used Ableton with Linux, I don't actually have a Linux distro installed on my machine and I don't have much knowledge about Jack and all

@@laine3731 i've been working on getting it set up, follow chris titus' tutorial on installing programs with WINE - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lI09QLkqZiE.html That's what got me to install it properly. You may have to authorize live offline, as online didnt work for me

@@laine3731 Right now the only thing left I have to figure out is how to lower latency.... i still have a bit of latency that I have been unable to solve. Not sure if there is a way to fix this, as the latency seems to stem from ableton itself. I press a key on my keyboard and it inputs midi a good quarter of a second after i press it, even with input/output latency turned all the way down Let me know if you find anything!

Install wine staging. Install dependencies. Install ableton and run. Try using bottles.

I think he was talking about like Microsoft selling your data

yeha its kinda cool, especially it is native Linux. I tested it a few days ago, but I must say, Ableton is many things just more fluid and brings a amount of stock effect, that are really great but just not on Bitwig. Yeha, for some effects are alternative Plugins out there but not as good or they just don't exist. Nevertheless Bitwig is a full and powerful DAW with that you can work. Only the price bothers me. 399 Euro (at the Moment 299 but still) is a Joke. Live 11 Standard is 349 (279 at the Moment) and Live 11 Suite is 599 (479 at the moment) Live 11 Standard crushes Bitwig and is cheaper. So yeha the choice is obvious. Another big point is almost no one else works with Bigwig. Starting collaborations with other users who use Ableton is much more likely. All my Friends use Ableton. So yes I would rather try to get Ableton running on Linux than use native Linux Bitwig. If Bitwig would cost around 100 Euros (in its current feature state) i would it pick up. But otherwise no way.

Does it rplay nice with Ubuntu? Will midi controllers work with it?

Installed Ableton through wine-staging, installed vsts and used yabridge to port them to a readable format (.so files, I believe). I also cheated for splice and installed on a win10 vm and just mapped a folder for it to the main system. Once the samples are downloaded to the folder, you can just add it to Ableton. I couldn't get splice to work on wine. Also, for Serum, some extra dll files need to disabled and enabled, but that is discussed on the yabridge github.

@@iamkeef can you please show the wine staging i’ve been looking for like three days I haven’t found a solution
