I've seen too many laptops die on stage mid-song.
Screen goes black. Music stops. The crowd goes quiet.
All because of settings that take 15 minutes to fix.
This checklist walks you through exactly what to change on your MacBook so it doesn't sleep, freeze, or crash when you're performing live with Ableton.
Inside the checklist:
Ā
Battery settings that prevent mid-show shutdowns
Ā
Display settings so your screen doesn't go black
Ā
Network settings that stop background updates
Ā
Notifications turned off (so Slack doesn't pop up during your set)
Audio settings optimised for low latency
Ā
System preferences that free up CPU
Ā
Takes 15 minutes to run through.
Could save your entire show.
