Please, add .nkm (Kontakt multi) import support, as well as nki and other formats batch import. I can't figure why these are not yet implemented, right now importing whole kontakt collections into live's Sampler is a PITA.

+1

best, Bastian

+1

envelope / transient shaper

plug like melodyne

beziers

eq matching

liveset revert function

warp samples in samp/simpler

ability to add more browser windows / seperate browser for instruments and effects

better ability to read my mind

tbc....

MIDI mapping:
in the MIDI Map mode, provide additional mapping options: a "toggle/hold" setting for switch assignments, and critically, a nonlinear "tension curve" function for knobs and faders to bias the output value. This would allow me to implement my own crossfaders wherever in the chain i like, without the loss of power in the middle which occurs when I do this with linear 0%->100% and 100%->0% mappings.

all in ...

i initially wrote this to ableton privately and they were into the idea

for DRUM RACKS

purge unused sounds,

this would work well for those of us who have large drum rack libraries, there may be 100+ sounds but we only use 5-8 of them, the ability to purge the unused sounds in a project would make the loading time much easier and have your live sets running much smoother.

how many of you have to wait for all of these samples and buffers to finish loading before you can get to work on your projects??

of course if there were a function for just selecting all of the drum cells the way you can select a bunch of clips would make it pretty easy to delete, but for now you have to delete one by one! its madness!

no more squeaky filters on the sampler (they squeak and do strange things when modulated quickly)

timestretch in the sampler

macro curves

envelopes on unwarped clips

dj display options in session view (dual waves, wave + devices @ same time, etc)

complex pro should sound better

global macros + macro matrix (to enable things like midi lfo, + milti channel macro automation)

live makes unnecessary breakpoints when drawing automation

I will add two requests, one is probably 4c:
I hate restrictions and I would hate a 5.1 restriction as much as i hate the limitation to stereo tracks we have at the moment. I want real multichannel support. Especially for Max4Live devices. Certain tricks I use all the time in Max/MSP for 8 or 12 speaker setups are simply impossible inside Live. Imagine a granular cloud distributed randomly to multiple speakers...
In short multichannel support (I don't need necessarily multichannel sound files, I need multichannel outputs...)

The second request is a vertical zoom for waveforms...

Looper

Not just individual layers but also each assignable to track inputs so they can be mixed/edited/produced later.

A way of controlling level of gain for things like pitch shifting so 'apparent' volume can be controlled/automated.

ROCK SOLID OPERATION PLEASE - it pops it click and just plain doesnt operate as intended sometimes, its a tool for live use and is FAR from reliable.

make it as solid as a hardware loopers pretty please.

A larger LIVE viewing mode that toggles to each midi function u select.

I wish there would be a "SETLIST" feature
with which i could define a list of .als sets and assign them to program change
numbers!

maybe even with a "preloading feature" that there would be no need to
stop audio between changes!?

^ oh c'mon!!!

would you people stop making sense?? geez... next you'll want a timeline in session view or drum racks that show more than 16 samples.

Drum rack:
to have the possibility to route different sounds to different outputs of your audiocard. It can be made 2 ways:
Or just giving the possibility to select the external output or to give a sends only choice, then using the sends to route the sounds in your external audiocard.

Hope it's clear.
It would be a great improovement for external mixing and for live performances that involve external mixers saving alot of space on the arrangement and session view (now I have to make different tracks for K, HH, S etc.)

I wish for a pitch adjust/correction plug-in, right now I use the Auto-tune, they worked fine but I hate the dongle. Also, rev option when selecting more than 1 loop and same rev function in simpler as well. Also the new Propellerhead Kong make sense to get fast drum sounds maybe Ableton should look in to that too.

Wish for a De-esser that let us compress specific range of frequency(mainly Hi freq) while let other range of frequency pass through.

The main thing for me would be MP3 output at various qualities. I’ve always thought surround sound was rather a gimmick because it’s only useful if you are working in gaming or video and not traditional music composition. Certainly not to expand video else the program becomes a “jack of all trades” and does nothing well.
Sampler – for format imports.
Metronome – on midi note
The ability to dock or undock panels
The ability to define user buttons or add custom buttons.
Better midi
