Performing live with Overbridge in 2025

Seeing since it’s been quite a few years since this question was last brought up, I thought I’d hear the wizards in here, what their current take on this is.

It seems pretty stable when I’m jamming at home, and I’ll be doing a live dub set where I’m not really playing or adding anything, so the latency issue isn’t really a big thing for me.

The technology seems to have come some way since the earlier days of Overbridge and it really is a dream scenario in many ways to have my Syntakt and Digitakt II running thru the Ableton mixer for vst fx and session view modular control etc.

But I might be tempting fate or overlooking certain pitfalls I’m sure.
Are there good reasons for still avoiding this approach?

I use Overbridge all the time with the Digitakt 2, Ableton and Apple Silicon Mac to make music and I have never had problems with it. It’s been very stable and it’s never crashed. The key for me was the move to Apple Silicon. I can set the buffer size down to 64 samples. This makes it almost latency free. I wouldn’t say a normal Ableton session for me has a lot of tracks in it. But I do use all the available Overbridge tracks. And I do record them in.

I’d be pretty confident to use it in a live setup. :slight_smile:

It is absolutely fine here too. No clicks or pops and never crashed.
