Wow. Good job IP.

I just hope the really good ones wont disappear amongst the many. "Favourites VST folder" is the best one imho (oh, and 64 bits its kind of a natural step these days, like many have stated before).

Use Color for Frequencies on Spectrum, Have one color for Sub,Lows,Mids, and Hi. Use a different shade of color as you work up and down that sections Frequencies. (i.e. Subs- 10hz dark purple and work your way up in color shade till you hit the next section which would be the lows.)

Also having a 3D Spectrum Field which can tell you were the audio is within a 3D field (i.e. Depth, Height, and left and right)

Another Color Spectrum that can show the Frequencies of Track groups as one Color, with multiple track groups (each with a different color) within one window, this way you can see if different tracks are clashing with each other.

thanks for the post

here a few helpfull features i like to have:

1. more then 8 macro knobs which can be routed to any device parameter in the whole rack
2. total recall midi background recording, ideas will be never lost
3. seperate track channel in arragment view / like in cubase or logic
4. copy/paste for drumracks cells
5. create seperate folders for files(samples) and presets if i import a akai media or install a live pack
6. possibility to create live packs with a installer like 3rd party packs

-automation modes (touch, latch etc)
-vca faders grouping
-omf/aaf import-export
-one more reverb (with better quality and more flexible... maybe a convolution)
-autosave
-be the same easy and joyfull software so I continue to produce music with a such pleasant way as this.

Drum instrument like the Kong(where the user can access to synth drums, acoustic drums and sampled drum) and Auto Pitch correction+harmonizer instrument would be great

V basic but...please standardize the Mac Cmd/W keyboard command so that it closes the selected window, as opposed to quitting the app. as at present, this would be great for closing plugin windows. Thanks

Surround 5.1 support.

90% of the requests u ask for are just plain stupid to have. most the requests are just plain retarded.
ableton 7 was 100 mb file ableton 8 is 1.5gb too much bloat too much nonsense added to it.
i always see people whining about i need this i need that...bah! u need a hole in your head too.
max for live is a stupid idea for live 8. oh ableton really needs partner instruments and serato merging..
.what a damn waste of resources and time of the time when ableton could spend more time improving speed and stability.


"LETS MAKE ABLETON MORE BLOATED and SLOW

Well I guess people are free to start a thread of things they don't want added to Live 9

Can I just add batch MIDI export to this list, if someone's already said this pls ignore. Its just that this would be SO SIMPLE to implement, its just hit me how annoying having to export them one by one by one is...

Oh and a checkbox thing so you could pick which files, audio or MIDI, you wanna export, rather than just having one choice of ALL...

Record Actions:

I need to be able to do batch processing of tracks.

Like in photoshop you can record what you do: warp straight, set first marker, set last marker, 32 count edit, render.

I wish i coud save the string of actions i made, and apply them to a bunch of tracks.

Id like to see some kind of SYNC button (like in Traktor pro)
So if we insert a drum Sample you could click on that sync knob and it quantizes and changes the Tempo so that it plays in the right time

(I really dont like this friggin Sample choppin after quantizing )

Oh I´d like to swap the synths(Instruments) with my Controller(like in Traktor)
I mean when i change on my Controller the template to Browsermode I could choose the Instrument and change the Parameters etc(Without using the Mouse)

And now some experimental:
Dual Mouse mode
I make Music with my brother on one PC when we both play a chord on two Pianos we want to change our sounds and while I change my Sound curve he selects simultaneously another Synth for his Instrument

General:

Ability to use external plugins (AU/VST) in ReWire slave mode for easier porting into ProTools, Logic, etc... for final mixing.

That would also be a nice way to use AU and VST inside ProTools with Live as a wrapper.

My request: A button to change the way beat repeat works for drum racks, in which the device is triggered when the sample is triggered, instead of based on once per bar/half bar/quarter note, etc. Either that or have the ability for a midi note to trigger the device when it is on a midi track. This would allow for a lot more direct control over how you want each sample to sound... basically more creative control without having to resample stuff all day. Also, instead of having the gate and stuff based on time divisions, you should be able to move it around freely, in much the same way the beginning and end of a sample can be in simpler/sampler.

Anyway, I think this is a pretty damn awesome idea, which is why I'm actually posting for probably the first time ever.

Ability to specify type/kind of file you are looking for, while doing a search in Browser (device,preset,group-rack,audio, MIDI etc).

1. Copy to siblings for operator and analoge synths on envelope parameters
(Like on drum racks - speed up work flow)
2. Arrange page - Track height on a shortcut key to toggle small medium large fold.
3. Faster response times for browsing midi clips once latin percussion is loaded.
4. shortcuts to preferences ie launch behavior/midi setup/zoom level at the bottom of the screen
5. rating system for presets and ability to sort by rating
6. Abiltity to disable the ableton auto midi control (sorry can't remember name!)on a plug by plug basis. (how it maps the knobs automatically to the ableton plug in focus)

Apologies if any of these are double ups of previously listed.
