As the OP, I formally withdraw my vote for Looper in Live 8. I would MUCH rather Ableton implement the top 10 workflow/feature requests that should have been in Live 7.

Looper in Live 9!

As a person who is not the OP, I formally add to the requests for an Ableton Looper.

1. This IS a workflow enhancement to me.

2. I mean, I don't know, but isn't the software called . . . LIVE?

3. This has needed for awhile OR at least "first loop sets tempo/loop length." I would be happy with that . . .

You're right I agree. I change back my vote again.

My vote is for additional clip record/playback functionality to allow looping. This allows the flexibility to vary the tempo of looped material live - this currently dissuades me from using a VST looper in my projects.

I also like the extended follow actions idea - follow actions are currently pretty limited.

And the controls to manipulate material in the current scene, like record/delete/play buttons for tracks that operate on the current playing scene.

However, my approach to looping could be a bit different to most. I don't want to have to decide prior to a loop if I want to record it. I want it to record anyhow, and then I can decide to keep it if I want to near the end. That way, mistakes do not become part of the loop, because you have played it and can decide if it is worth keeping.

In my ideal version of Live, Clips in a Scene would have sub-elements. Some clips would select a random sub-element or iterate through sub-elements, providing variation within a Scene (drum fills or bass riffs). Other clips could record and layer sub-elements, with controls to discard/keep the takes, and the feedback/lifetime. And Scenes would have more controllable follow actions, to give additional flexibility to performance.

This is my preference as well, as opposed to a Looper effect. I think Live could get a LOT of mileage out of having the overdub button apply to the record behavior of both audio and MIDI clips instead of MIDI clips only.

However, my approach to looping could be a bit different to most. I don't want to have to decide prior to a loop if I want to record it. I want it to record anyhow, and then I can decide to keep it if I want to near the end.

This is generally why many folks prefer looping with an Undo function, and it's not that unusual.

+1 on the looper. I initially bought into computer recording after reading about live 5. So I bought me my first computer, and my first software, and expected to be able to do what I had been doing on my jamman for 10 years, but it really just wasn't there. The first loop setting the tempo is essential to looping. It would be the only reason I would upgrade to live 8.. That and track grouping. But only if it will run on my g4 powerbook.................
