I was having some pretty major CPU issues as well on a 2018 intel Mini. Just installed the update and I’m seeing similar improvements.
It’s been pretty bad since 11 came out on and off honestly. Hopefully this will take care of the major performance issues/bugs🤞🏻
Now just give me ARA2 and I’ll never cheat on you again Ableton Live
Edit: Chit chat is nice but I like to add some helpful information as well sooo…
Did you know you can see an overview of plugins on every track in Session view?
Just add -ShowDeviceSlots
To your Options.txt (create it if it doesn’t exist) file in the Ableton Preferences folder.
on Mac: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 11.1
not sure on Windows but I’m sure someone else can chime in.
note: it’s buggy in that it won’t show the names until you resize the track. I guess since it’s a hidden feature they don’t care about the bugs as much?
It adds a toggle for plugin slots view on the right side:
