Problem solved
How am I supposed to prepare something I play on the fly? So, let's say I record an audio clip of an acoustic guitar in time with the groove from a currently playing rythm clip - easy enough, it's human timing working to human timing.
Then, I want to introduce a different rythm clip that has a totally different groove?
How exactly do you prepare a clip that I recorded all of 10 seconds ago? You can't.
HOWEVER:
If I had the ability to record the guitar riff to the groove of a rythm clip, and Live had the ability to "understand" the rythmic groove offset of that base rythm clip, I could introduce a totally different groove by triggering a new rythm clip - and Live should be able to automatically warp the recently recorded guitar riff to match.
...And it doesn't have to be a guitar - could be a non-midi vintage synth, could be a clarinet, beatboxing, turntablism, singing, live congas, whatever.
My point is, you can only do this if you could assign one channel to be your "groove master" to apply to all other channels.

Hey calm down man
Can't expect live to be perfect. NO sequencer is.

erm, am I missing something here...
When I want groove on a track, I change the groove amount, up beside the BPM.
Usually I like to use the groove at around 20 - 25, then change the swing timing on all clips and loops to "Swing 16" or "Swing 32" in the clip view window.
This gives a nice groove without going into full on shuffle territory.
