Would love to hear from those with M1 macs - what is the performance like?

Dead keen to hear how this performs. Few people on reddit saying encouraging things!

You must have live 11 for the beta though......will be checking it out soon, once I upgrade to 11

First spin and tried to change the buffer, - crashed.
Loaded up again all good. Loaded a project and plug ins were missing, and now all my iLok licenses need re activating! Getting there slowly.

Indeed I am now excited : )

I'll be excited when I will find some $$ to upgrade to an ARM mac...
As soon as possible, because my old 2012 macbook is showing some signs of age...

But I'm interested about the procedure : can you mix an ARM ready DAW (like the new Ableton Live) with both ARM ready plugins and Rosetta only plugins ?

It seems to be a complicated taks to mix rosetta and non rosetta plugins inside the same DAW, but maybe I'm wrong about that...

Run it with all the usual plug ins, found some strange responses from the softube plug ins (I have trouble with some of them but they’re not supported yet either so….). Theres a lag and the switches switch in funny ways when you touch a slider! In the normal Live this does not happen.
I’ve found Live is more stable and I’m able to run a project at 128 buffer with 30 I/O RME Fireface, sits around 45%. Does feel like a step in the right direction and can’t wait for all the plug ins to be native too
