though this has been in the feature wishlist for ever...
please allow the Keyboard number keys (0-9) to send Keyboard control data.
every other app allows them to be used, but not Live.
i'd love to mute channel 1 by hitting "1", not "Q" or "A" or anything else. it would make sense no?
Ableton 4 and 5
I find Live's current method of warping to be more than adequate. If it gets too automated then its prone to error, especially for music that has 4/4 then a breakdown, 4/4 then another breakdown. You'd still have to manually edit the grid. With Live's current implimentation I have total control. It doesn't take long to warp a track and once you've done it you never have to worry about it again. Small sacrifice in my opinion!David wrote:More support for dj's!
There will be an easier option to import entire tracks, cue 'em up, and automatically lock them down to the existing tempo. I'm envisaging a 'Deck' device, similar to an 'Audio' or 'Midi' track. A 'Deck' device may carry similar beat finding properties as that of Traktor. That would be pretty cool.
Accidents are the portal to discovery!

See the feature requests forum really! 
I would like to say though... a free update wouldn't really go amiss to tidy up the loose ends from the transition to a full DAW. Plugin delay compensation, track offset, automation via VST UIs, sidechaining, support for DirectX effects on windows etc.
Finish off the 4 functionality then move onto the brave new world of 5

Live now certainly has what a musician needs on stage. I would recommend to stop adding new features for this and that and all of this special needs of specialized performers. Extend and improve whats there already.
- Work on stability!!! Nothing is as embarrassing as a crash of Live on stage.
- Add full mp3 and ogg support for import / export.
- Reduce CPU usage of certain elements.
- Improve the midi editor. (Need to have the possibility to move by ticks!)
- Improve the file management in the browser view.
- Improve the template management for different hardware setups.
- Work on usability such as sequent zooming by key.
- Add more audio plugins such as reverse or vocoder.
- Extend existing and add more midi plugins such as an arpeggiator.
- More instruments such as soft synths.
- Extend the presets (Or sell a Live sample CD with presets for impulse and simpler)
In short: Keep an eye on the details rather then adding more and more new things.
