A better drum rack

I use Drum racks in my live set. I build up beats from scratch. I wish drum dracks had more of the functionality of an MPC, Such as being able to hold an erase button and a pad to delete the pattern for that sound. I'd also like it if once I had created my beat i could flip it in to mute/solo mode ala MPC. This would mean i could use the pads to mute or solo the patterns on each each sound.

Not sure if its been said already, but one button clip and project focus which basically takes your selection and makes it as fit horizontally in the arrange view and then another to fit your whole song in. Defiantly useful in my opinion.

kind of like the a and f button in some 3d software packages.

I'd like to see offline Audio Editing/Processing in Live.

In the arrangement view (would be nice in the session view too) select a piece of audio, then rightclick for a menu where you can select offline processing.
Then you can select a plugin from the menu. The audio loops over your selection (if you click the preview button) while you edit your vst. Then click process and your audio selection is replaced with the processed audio.
(some people who use cubase might recognize this feature)
I absolutely love this feature in Cubase. Apart from Cubase only Reaper has a feature that comes close to this. It would be great if Live got this feature too. It's a real time saver.

+1 !

i think it's called Bounce in Place in Logic. would be a definitely timesaver.

EQ 3 should NOT change the sound quality that much when loaded in channels ! Should be transparent sounding like EQ8 !

AND

THOSE LEVEL METERS ARE RIDIIIICULOUSLY SMAAAAALLL !!!!! Make them BIIIIIGGER !!!!

I thought you could lengthen the meters really easily by dragging upwards, no? That's what I do.

Incidentally, when do people think Live 9 will come out?

i'm talking about those so little meters at the bottom of the screen, in the master channel, not the main meters that of course you can drag them upward

Haha, man I feel dumb now! And usually so attentive...

Would having them bigger really make a big diff, I gotta say I completely sort of forget they are there... I take your point...

[omniphonix]

Multi-touch support for Windows 7 and an interface that lends itself to using touch. Either built into the main interface or as an alternate window.

Some really wicked ideas.

At the moment I´m in the progress switching from PC to Macbook Pro and Cubase to Live.
The new platform is quite simple to become used to, but from Cubase to Live is a very painful step.
So I´m not very deep into Live yet.

I agree that the MIDI editing abilities from Live could be more advanced and need more space on the screen.

Really annoying is a missing shortcut to open and close the GUI of the plugins.
I would prefer s.th. like CTRL+1 for midi track 1, CTRL+2 for the second MIDI track to open and close the GUI and so on.
Or a freely assignable MIDI controller command to open GUI for each track.
Minimum requirement would be a better placement of the button, maybe in the title bar of the tracks.

Tap tempo without autostart after 3 or 4 beats is a must for live use in my opinion.
Especially when you play together with non-MIDI musicians!
The workarounds with 8/8 measure or similar are inacceptable!!

Just imagine this scenario.
A song in a slow 3/4 measure starting with a picked guitar and vocals.
You have programmed some synth bass lines and percussion tracks and you want to get into this song on the first count of the next bar.
Would you be able to get into the song with 3 hits on Tap Tempo?
And don´t suggest an in ear MIDI click for the guitarist here

The current multi-out solution with the external instruments is quite ok.
But I would like to happen this automatically when I load a multi-out plugin.
Maybe a small dialog box where you can choose the number of outputs and the possibility to change it by context menu would be helpful.

Up!!

Please, add .nkm (Kontakt multi) import support, as well as nki and other formats batch import. I can't figure why these are not yet implemented, right now importing whole kontakt collections into live's Sampler is a PITA.

+1

- song backup ala logic = an extra folder in project folder with backups of previous saves

- capture last take ala logic = if you play something that you like but didn't hit record, hit a key and there it is [would probably be better in the arrange page than as a clip in clip view]

- photoshop style undo/history

- project preview!

= when you click on a project file in the browser, hows about having a little preview box underneath, like you do with sound files? maybe live could render a piece of the tune (maybe the middle, or most densely populated section, or even the whole thing with a visual wave for navigation) and play you back a low res snippet to remind you of what the tune is. i know i'm not the only one out there with a hundred randomly named unfinished projects. maybe live could render this when the song gets closed?

- channel racks = a rack that would include all instrument/plugins as well as all midi patterns in them. would be useful for those moments when you come up with something great that doesnt fit the song you're working on. quickly save it as a rack and come back to it later. additional bonus points for having optional send levels with corresponding return channels included.


and the classic.... floating windows!
