hopefully this hasn't been said.

grouping within groups aka more complex bussing possibilities

[Jarvisimon]

I would like to see some better assigning of controllers to instrument/effect/midi racks, so that you could use more than one controller.

I'd also like to see a sequencer lane for such a thing.

Add an option to the clip launch properties to "Not Launch on Scene Launch".

This way you can have extra clips loaded your in scenes, but they won't trigger when you launch the scene, only when you manually launch that clip..

Lots of times I duplicate scenes to make another one with a tiny variation (new clip).. This way those extra clips can be sitting in their right scene, but they won't get set off by a scene launch, only by launching the clip.. If you wanted to launch the full scene maybe you'd launch it and launch the clip that wouldn't be included at the same time?

Had a small discussion about this here:

Don't have time right now to go back thru the whole thread to check they haven't been mentioned, so I apologise, but my little list would be:

• The ability to have grouped tracks act like return tracks and not actually move the tracks to within the group - so all my mix faders can be down one end of a session for ease of paging etc, while clip slots can all stay in the other of the session. It would mean my launchpad could be more easily arranged for performance.
• Launchpad to follow current scene.
• Easy ability to fire off clips that come in on something other than 1 - IE pickup notes.
• Track selection via rotary knob.

-64 bit
-faster (currently can handle half of reaktor instances than (for example) reaper)
-more stable
-less bugs
-beizer curves
-internal lfos
-sidechain everything
-detachable midi editor
-improved sampler (timestretch mainly)
-better reverb (+ an IR one maybe)
-do not touch anything else, because the rest are good

the possibillity to select more than one audio interface!!!

[dysanfel]

I did not see a listing for a clock so I can see the time elapsed in a set precisely.

[meudic]

The possibility to playback a midi note from any temporal position in the note (not only from the beginning). Useful for polyphonic midi scores with overlapping notes so that we don't have to start again and again from the beginning.

Hi,
I would really like to see support for quadraphonic sound and 5.1 surround. I am currently experimenting with ambisonic/quadraphonic composition and I am sick of having to do this in logic. Logic annoys me intensely because using it is such a laborious process, live is perfect in every detail except for not having more options for output configuration.

[stubba]

+1 for 5.1 tracks!!!

[d-track]

5.1?
you only need a 6 ch output card.
thats it
maybe add some m4l patches

[stubba]

So you mean I can drag an .L.C.R.Ls.Rs.LF collection of audio files into one track and fire it off as a single clip?
I'm also talking about being able to assign a track to a 5.1 output, not having to make 3 tracks and assign them all to seperate stereo or mono outputs.

[d-track]

this is more complicated but m4l could do it i think

[werblex]

What I loved about Cubase was the ability to select multiple parts and edit them simultaneously, The pattern you are editing shows bold and the others are ghosted out. That was a really good way of building up nice counter melodies etc see where the harmonic gaps were etc etc blah blah

also: same thing but with envelopes in operator. seeing them all overlayed would be very useful.

I really hope now that m4l is here that development of the Ableton native midi plug ins doesn't stop. I cant afford max for live at the moment

[outershpongolia]

okay, so you know how you feed audio from all your tracks into another "master" track and call that the dummy track in order to make dummy clips that automate the effect rack on your newly made "master" channel.. How about you group the channels.. say your 8 audio tracks you use for mixing.. Then you can drop dummy clips ONTO the clip slots in the actual grouped tracks..



The only problem I could see is they'd be launched with the scene that they are corresponding to, so maybe they wouldn't trigger until they are manual triggered, or just put them on different scenes..
