Sort out smart-snap asap, or at least allow us to turn it off. I was fine with using a modifier or cmd+4 if I wanted to move notes off grid. The current implementation is a massive pain in the ass and seemingly random.

GUI driven by cuda cores.

A rack that can hold multiple third party plugins. Like the effect rack but it pops up all the GUIs nice and neatly stacked with one click.

Retina support please!!!

I have only recently purchased a copy of Ableton Live (which I think is an absolutely excellent piece of software ), but have only just discovered, (to my utter horror!), that it doesn't handle polyphonic aftertouch at all (doesn't even pass it as MIDI Thru).
Please, please, implement this in a not-too-distant future version.. While there aren't many external keyboards that generate polyphonic aftertouch (but all the ones I have do so ), there are surprisingly many hardware and virtual instruments that do respond to it (even if, in their modulation matrices, you see only "Aftertouch", many of them are capable of recognizing automatically if it is receiving channel~ or poly~ aftertouch, and responding accordingly).
I do realize that this is possibly no small feat to achieve, if it wasn't implemented in the early stages of developement, but, please try to find a way to implement it .

So.. a massive "+1" from me too

Possibility to ignore a third party plugin entirely when its deactivated, so as to be able to use zero latency monitoring while recording with plugins that otherwise introduce latency in the active state.

But that's how it's working for me. At least it does for Nebula which introduces huge delay..when i deactivate it it doesn't consume cpu and delay is gone. I think it's maybe plugin design thing not DAW thing. Some plugins even have variable delay.

I've run into this a few times where the latency of a plug causes all kinds of funky. Weird delays with audio input. Waves ADT was so bad that if you put it on a track, it would cause delays in ALL tracks even after deleting it.

Well, for example if I am recording a vocal track via microphone, on which there's a VST plugin that causes some latency (for example, FabFilter Pro Q with Medium/Linear/Maximum phase latency setting), and then I am monitoring the track being recorded at the same time, I hear the vocal track delayed. So a singer whom I invited would hear his original own voice, plus his voice being recorded and being delayed, causing that nasty echo. That's certainly a no go.

Bests,

hell with 9.2

It's time for Live 10 to be announced! It has been a year and 8 months since Live 9 was announced!!

Automatic track naming when dragging in new files and they create a track.

Wow, reality just sunk in!

Realistically, it probably won't happen until Live 10, but sub-groups would be the best thing ever.

ghost/alias clips in arrange view please?

A lot of the stuff mentioned here. But – now that i'm finally finishing tracks these days vs. just whipping together loops, a major, major workflow killer for me is bouncing/freezing to audio (yes I know the difference but basically the process of freeing up CPU and converting tracks to wav files).

Biggest issues:
* No bouncing group audio – this means all the effects on the group channel are not frozen, and I have to bounce each track in the group separately which is time consuming
* Anything with side chain compression won't freeze/bounce – which for me and many EDM producers applies to most tracks
* Freezing applies to all clips on that track, not just to highlighted sections in the arrangement view – basically I use the clips view to store ideas, but if I have too many by the time I need to start freezing it takes for ever to free the track, so I effectively have to delete all the clips.

I basically now hit a CPU wall ~40% of the way into my tracks these days (with a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro). And the freezing/bouncing process grinds everything to a halt.

Anyone feel this pain?
