im looking to use a midi file to give the groove of my track, say u chop a loop in recycle and export single hits and midi file, then want to base ur whole track around that midi file, ie ur snare comes late so i want the bass line to hit exactly tight with the snare, i want to be able to groove quantize to the beat.... is this making sense or am i drunk as a ....

Nope there isnt.

Maybe if you automated the tempo minutely, but thats about it.

thats a real shame, i love live to bits but sometimes it falls short of being a true professional sequencer... ive come up with a temporary solution: by copying the midi file of my drum track onto say my synth track i can then use the timings of each drum hit to play a note on the synth, of course you can move the note up and down in pitch and stretch it out

just throwing a possibly weird idea out there. if you've got two audio files of the EXACT same length, then you can warp one and replace the sample with the other audio file. this is how you warp multi-tracked groups of audio files.

maybe it's possible to use this technique to accomplish something like groove quantizing? if you can get identical clip lengths, and use the warp settings of the 'groove' defining clip, but replace the sample with the new sample
