I read so much bad about the 8.1.1 release, so I would stay on 8.0.5 if I were you until a new release is out...
As far as I remember Ableton don't recommend 8.1.1 to be used at gigs..

Thanks for the offer buddy. 8.1.1? max4live of course. :) same here...

Well i'm going to look into my plugins and see if something isn't up to date or something ... maybe uninstall some demos or things like this.

The problem mainly exists when i'm creating something new copying midi etc... its nightmare for me. type of stuff makes me want to quit making music with machines.
yeap I have max+m4l but Ill wait for 8.1.2 to upgrade. I had many problems with an old update so I wait also before updating!!

EDIT: I dont install demos in my main system!

if you have free space make a Vmware with osx and run your tests/demos there. (no problem with speed! dont comment. its just for use with the build-in card and just for testing sounds)

I'm on 8.0.4, and experienced my first Ableton crash ever, 2 weeks ago.
Besides this one crash, it's been working rock solid!

Seriously? Last night mine kept crashing when I tried to change the octave on a synth - weird, but then the CPU was totally maxed.
