Experienced Logic User Feature Wishlist
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2018 6:41 pm
Hi everyone,
I come from the land of Logic for the past 10+ years, and so far from learning Ableton Live 10 i've noticed there are a few things I miss from Logic and are the only reasons i'm still going to use Logic for some things going forward. Just figured i'd add them to the official wishlist forum so that Ableton can decide whether to incorporate them in the future.
Loop recording and Comping - In Logic if i'm tracking vocals I can just loop record over a part and then comp which sections of each vocal I want very easily. Theirs a work around in Live, but its nowhere near as convenient as Logic
Shortening or lengthening multiple clips - In Logic I can highlight as many 'regions' (clips) as I want, and then drag them all on one side to shorten or lengthen them all. There doesn't appear to be a way to easily do this in Live from my research.
Mass Audio Bouncing - In Logic I can highlight as many regions (clips) as I want, right click and export them all as audio files with intelligent naming parameters. This is incredibly powerful for sample instruments and sample pack creation, as I can name all my samples with note names in Logic, and then with 1 button export 400 samples and give them contextual sample names upon export. There are work-arounds in Live such as dragging the clips to the start of a track and putting them all on separate tracks, but its not nearly as easy as Logic.
Overall i'm impressed with the workflow of Live and how easy its been to pickup after using Logic for so long. It sounds like Ableton is a solid company that looks to its user-base for new features and improvements, so hopefully theirs a chance at these features coming down the line.
Thanks,
