bump, need groove quantize! its essential!

Yep.

monthly bump.

come on sort it out.

ok here goes again BUMP. This would still be a great thing to have.

when it comes i hope ableton goes all out. something like having a groove template and applying it to a clip gradually. make sense? like you can with the current quantize function only with a groove.

edit:
so when i press cmd-u i get the quantize dialog but with a dropdown of my saved templates.

groove quantize FTW!!!

bump this again.

Now that there is rex support this makes even more sence. Swing to slice?

Can't believe I still remember this thread from 2005 and how ridiculous it is that we are still bumping it. some sort of groove templates and a swing slider ala FL Studio on a per clip basis would do wonders for programming midi drums inside Ableton...

I think they considered this request closed because in v. 6 you could create a master clip that would control the tempo, at least in the arrange page anyways.

For my purposes, it works pretty good. Delays get a little f'd up, but it was a good workaround at the time. Now that there is .rx2 support in 7, it's a pretty common sense thing.

I haven't bought v. 7 yet. I'm thinking about going over to using the new version of Reason, with their groove mixer (regroove). F'in cool. I'll still probably rewire it into Live, but I only need Live version 4 for what I would intend to use it for...

So, there's a few dollars Ableton isn't making off of me (yet). I might get back on board with v. 8 if they can compete in terms of groove with the propellerheads, but for now, it doesn't look good.

add groove in a free live 7.5 uograde for all registered users. now.

Groove quantize features are one of Live's biggest let downs. There's the new slice to midi feature (which is v cool) but there still isn't (from what I can see thus far) any way of extracting the groove from the midi file you generate. I know there are workarounds... but who needs workarounds for such a fundamental feature? Live is getting better and better with each new version and it;s only a matter of time before my pro producer mates move to it 100% (these days the oldies refuse to master in Live because of the "sound" but are slowly converting with a bit of persuasion from me !) Please let's get groove quantize as a new feature to shut up my mates using cubase etc. It's one of the big cribs... along with mastering capabilities (FYI I don't buy into this way of thinking but it's used in arguments every time - Live can master as well as the user IMO.. and version 7 fixes the sound quality for me). Cheers!

I was a big fan of groove quantize, but at the moment I ask myself if it's really a useful feature. Yes, It sounds sweet, but I'm afraid that you still get the best results with the old school "quantize off" and "tweak it to death" method.

hmm...
