WAV displays

1) When a track is playing the WAV is near black and the position curser is black, the WAV should be in a different colour so we can see the cursor.

2) When you zoom in on a live track's WAV file it would be good if the WAV automatically scrolled when the curser reached the end of the display.

Just zoom in really small and click the follow arrow. I use Live as an oscilliscope all the time!

I'm not sure if it's worth replying,
but I second your opinion on this one!

I'm learning to DJ with Live and although I should ideally 'know' the tracks I play, it would be handy to have a cursor I can actually see whilst tweaking things with my MIDI controller and quickly checking the laptop screen.

Perhaps the user could have a choice of colour schemes for the wave and cursor - different contrasts etc.

have you guys tried any of the custom skins - angstrom, personart, etc

Agreed 100%. But even easier for ableton themselves, would be to change the cursor red or white.... I would think this could be done very simply? 5.5? But if not, yes I wish the waves were any color other than black with the black cursor. Some of us are older and have shitty eyes.

i thought this was going to be about making the display of a wave bigger
i would like to be able to click on a wave and have a new window for it so i can edit it easier.
the window does not have to float... it could stay with the whole theme of live... i would just want the window to be the full horizonal length of the program.

it pretty much is full width if you turn off the other views

Before I go down that route -

Are the wave display colours changed in these other skins?

well, in the angstrom green-grey, the waveforms are white on a dark background. quite a change from the other skins, but pretty easy to see a black cursor

also, try personart01. wav is a medium grey, considerably lighter than some of the other skins. overall i really like the look of that one
