I would love it if.....

when you hit a note to trigger drum rack that it would select that pad.

SO

If I'm editing sample start points I can just hit the pad and then it will automatically be selected and I can start fine tunning the sample start times.

Also you should be able to set all of the pads to the same choke group at once I shouldn't ave to go through each one individually (wastes time).

finally

when setting Macros in drum racks there should be a way to set the a macro to a parameter and have that macro change the same parameter for every pad. Not saying it should change the way it does it now but it should offer that option.

sorry for all the drum racks changes but it's the main thing I use in live and it's why I never touch my MPC anymore!

I would also like to see multi-pad selections on drum racks. Sometimes i want to delete a bunch of them, and have to do it one by one.

There is a very simple workaround. Just unfold the Drumrack subtracks in session, mark them there and press delete. ;)

I would like to see Drumrack overhauled with 2 things it seriously missing imo. First, a purge function so you can throw tons of sounds into it and midi sequence and once you've gotten your song going you can hit purge and all sounds not being used in a midi sequenceclip will disappear and clean clutter out. The second, get rid of the create a track for every sound brought in and make it like everything else where you can assign which sounds to which channels you want to create. A channel created for every sound automatically was not well thought out imo and a total pain. You end up with 5 hi hats you'd normally have grouped to one stereo track all now with their own channels to make a cluttered overdone mess of channels. Especially when you've got many sounds loaded in.

It's not supposed to be out. It's not even announced. People like to speculate. Apparently.

8 will feature Vista MMCSS. They switch that off in RME's drivers in 7 already, so they know how to handle it and just wait for a pay-for update to implement it and thus make Live properly useable for Vista finally (with Aero at least).
