Sometimes i need to look at the note arrangement in the pianoroll to determine the optimal slot order for a Drum Rack. http://s10.postimg.org/azfymfc61/Ableton_Live_Drum_Rack_Wishlist.png screen shot on windows I also would like to have the option of automatically applying that slot order in the pia...

A system for creating patterns of patterns which can be used/processed as objects. Or layers of arrangement. Perhaps an advanced version of "Follow Action", with a discrete arrangement view which is relative/modular rather than absolute/monolithic as the current one. Each component could b...

The current browser lacks the basic cut function, such that moving files between folders requires dragging, which can be sluggish/annoying if the destination is distant from the origin.

Many drum machine plugins come with a sequencer: http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/the-14-best-vst-plugin-drum-machines-in-the-world-today-410653/11 Whenever I try to make some use of it, I end up wasting the time by re-entering the patterns in the DAW's native sequencer, because I prefer to have ...

Version 9.1.2. When I drag an audio or midi track into a folder in the browser for archiving, individually or collectively, it can take as long as a minute, even if the track has only a few clips and no additional devices/plugins. This happens across different sets. I don't recall having this proble...

Manual rating & meta-data editing. When keyword-searching: the option of displaying only the files rather than their folders (as in Bitwig), so that auditioning the files doesn't require going through the trouble of expanding every their folder. The ability to set multiple plugin root folders an...

Current AL does not allow, for example, FabFilters on an audio track to receive MIDI directly, except CH1-CC1. If I wanted a ProQ on an audio track to learn my BCR2000, I'd need to create a MIDI track and route it to the audio track to transmit the MIDI signal. If the ProQ then learned the BCR's kno...

I'm ok with the GUI, but I hate the new logo & the website design. I miss the more friendly & inspiring appeal of the pre-9 era.

I'm afraid the issue is not on host site, it's VST side. VST plugins receive midi information and only then translate it to frequency internally. [...] So unfortunatelly Live or any other host has nothing to do with it, unless you use only built-in instruments... which you do not. A host may not be...

Apparently the pre-delay is an accumulative side-effect of 3 FabFilter plugins I have on another track. I knew they could cause latency, so I already had them set to "Processing: Zero Latency" and "Lookahead: Off". Even the plugins themselves were deactivated when I recorded the ...

I noticed this while I was automating EQ8. It happens with other devices too. Below is a track with no other devices/plugins than Utility, with its Gain automated, supposed to reduce the gain of a whole beat by 35db. Reduce the gain it does, but at a wrong timing. The automation kicks in too early, ...

Loudness is not an indicator of the quality of a mix/master. The more you limit the song's peaks, the less become the song's transients & dynamic range . A proper comparison of the mixing/mastering qualities of different songs requires first matching their average volumes, measured conventionall...

In the Session View, on a particular track... Present: When we drag clip A onto clip B, A always replaces B. (If we wanted to just change their order and the track had no empty slot, we'd have to create a temporary scene or use another track's slot for B to make room for A, and then put B into A's o...

As someone who's been using AL as the main DAW for more than 7 years with occasional trial excursions to FL, Reaper, Sonar, Cubase, Studio One, etc., I keep noticing that AL responds slower than the other DAWs in certain basic actions such as creating an AUDIO/MIDI track, moving clips, and loading a...

Bitwig has a big hill to climb to match Ableton What hill? What AL features apart from M4L is Bitwig missing? On the contrary, how long is it going to take AL to have the following Bitwig features: - hybrid tracks & partial bounce - layered editing - parameter histograms & enhanced per-note...
