My Live 9 request:

A refund.

Right now, there is no real way to actually WRITE my music in Live. I like to work out scales, harmony and melody before i start thinking about anything else.

In Cubase they got this nailed. Having this ability right inside of your project will also aid in working out the progression and overall arrangement of a track FAR better and faster. And we all now how important speed is when one is writing the music (to retain that initail emotion)

I had requested these features in the Live 9 Beta forum as well. No one responded. I refuse to believe that i am the only on in this. There are still people out there who write music like this isn' t there?? Are thos people using Live??

Please voice your vote for this!

Ableton, please take your musician customers seriously. I dont want to use other apps, workarounds or other Daws even to be able to do this. Its supposed to be Ableton, not UNAbleton.

Thank you.




Arranger Track:




Chord Track:



Ok, let me be more clear about my request; i dont have that need to pick and mix chords out of some preplayed chord library. I just want a Chord track and Arrangement track in wich we can notate our arangement/song structure and chord progressions. In a clear and obvious way. Like illustrated in the cubase pictures above.

Sorry but I think you picked the wrong tool...

+1 on both of these. Awesome suggestions.

ENVELOPES:

Ability to typein direct value of specific point on a curve.


GUI:

Zoom shortcuts: zoom selection, zoom all, zoom selected tracks
Region markers to store several selection ranges and recall them through list.
Floating list of markers and region markers
Improved track scrolling speed when dragging something between them


MIDI:

Retrospective record feature. Wich is having all midi input recorded and then pasted by shortcut. Feature exist in Logic and Cubase. Very productive feature which also removes "red button" effect.

I know it's been mentioned before but there really should be a rating/favorites in ableton for effect/instrument presets, max for live instruments/effects, maybe even clips...

Also please make Live 9 more efficient. I love it but it runs soooo much slower than 8 did.

For a long time, I've had this idea of being able to use Ableton's piano roll as a musical score, where you can edit MIDI notes on multiple tracks from the same piano roll. So whatever track you are working on, you have the possibility to mark which other MIDI tracks you want to view (maybe a solo button aswell), and each MIDI track is represented by it's unique color.
So if you are working on the bass for example, you can choose to view the piano notes as well. This way, you can edit and get a nice overview of the tracks you want, just as a musical score in Sibelius or Finale.

From a composers work of view, wouldn't this be absolutely wonderful?

+1

1. Snap to grid automation in draw mode.
2. VST 3 Support
3. A legitimate transport bar with proper tools.
