If ableton can include real comping and better multitrack quantize implementation and retina support and maybe a really good tape modeling proc live will be unstoppable when compared to pro tools cubase sonar studio one and reaper , then it would be minor improvements and bug fixes to kill time till live 10

Cough cough, full implementation of PDC.

I hope they sort the browser out & fix any remaining bugs.

Better Patch Selection in Browser Selection

Each "Preset" should possess the following attributes for search

(Taking Inspiration From MicroKorg XL)
Instrument Type Attribute | Music Style Attribute

PC Patch Mode
LSB/MSB Program Change Assignment for Patches in each "Instrument"
For example: Ableton Live ANALOG instrument would have Bank 001 PG 001-128
This would emulate Hardware PC assignments

Import/Edit MIDNAM for ext synths
MIDI TRACK to External Instrument should have a drop down list containing your synths PATCH NAMES
Example, Replace PC000 with PC000 - Grand Piano 1

Assign MIDI ports
Assign each ports midi channel with respective hardware input. This would improve workflow.

and all my other rants lol

+1 to

it is done perfectly in CUBASE - you just select your program for your keyboard and do not look in the manual for right LSB/MSB/program change.

Generally more stable DAW engine is all I need.

Ability to export all midi tracks into one midi file

Oh yes; VST crash protection like in Bitwig

Great improvements to the DAW - more sophisticated editing tools, more selection methods (time selection sucks), and solid track parts (like Logic).

I need retina support, & I'm on pc.........wtf?

Win 8.1 will enable it apparently..

Fix sync to external MIDI clock.

A BROWSER THAT ACTUALLY BROWSES TO -ANY- LOCATION ON YOUR COMPUTER, IMMEDIATE AND WITHOUT IMPORTING FOLDERS, LIKE OUR LIVE 8 BROWSER.

Darn, my Shift got stuck.. Sorry about that.

Never happened in the Live 8 Browser days. You know, back when the browser could perform actions like browse, delete, go back a folder, go to root even, just go anywhere and play any sound instantly.
