Otherwise i'll buy Reason 4 – so have look on the fantastic groove possibilities from Reason Abes!

grooves definitely needed with swing for individual clips,
definitely some more quantizes with swing.

hmm , the way groove works in ableton (anyway the only way I found to do it) , is to warp an audiofile to your desired groove and select this as master
--> now all other tracks will follow the rhythm defined by the warpmarkers in that track --> create a couple of template audiofiles for your different grooves

swing can also be controlled globally only , and god knows why they decided to set every clip standard to 1/8 swing instead of 1/16 swing

to get different swing/groove on different tracks , I guess the only way is consolidating/resampling them and then turning of groove/swing

I'm already glad we finally have 16/16T quantisation...

yes there needs to be proper groove templates applied on a per track or per clip basis!!!!

we need to be able to use our own mpc templates! would be sickness!!!

1000% agreed. It is super frustrating to try to have good midi-programmed drums in Ableton without much in the way of groove templates and swing. I find myself rewiring FL studio into Live just to be able to use the swing slider in FL.

Couldn't Ableton just give us a swing slider on a per clip basis to adjust the beat offset--seems simple.

yes agreed - after all great sound engine improvements in AL7 - the good groove utility shud be the best new feature in AL8 ))

there shud be more groove presets and the groove shifts must be visual and individual - maybe just like in SONY ACID 6.0...
