I'm trying to record the output of a drum machine, with a strong swing.
The sync is fine.
But the recorded result is unusable.
Why do I have to use another DAW for this?
Why it's not possible to record audio properly on Live?

How is it unusable?

Ableton has always had big problems with latency compensation compared to other DAWs...for some reason the devs refuse to fix or even acknowledge it.

turn off quantization.

I would also add not to turn warping off, but instead to use it properly. If you warp in beats mode, and are recording at the same tempo as the set, and cropping/warping your drum files properly, you won't have any distortions in your sound. The issues you are experiencing sound like it relates to poorly warped recordings, and Live trying to make assumptions about your audio that you disagree with. I would say manually set your first transient, and then right click and select "Warp Straight at xxx BPM" for best results.
Yes it's true that other DAWs may not have this issue as prevalent, but other DAWs also do not have session view. Because of this concept, warping is pretty important.
Feel free to post a link to your live set (saved with samples) if you'd like further assistance, or perhaps if there truly is something wrong, then it can be brought to light to Ableton.
