we need support for a second or third mouse button.
navigating another host is so much more convenient for people with more than 1 finger on their hand.

other things it needs include delay compensation, drag&drop support for external files. import/export of mp3 files.
better/useable midi, rex support, destructive effects, freeze vsti option...and of course tweaks on the cpu usage.

Edit: oh yeh i forgot, live also needs a drump map. something like cubase sx has

We have all destructive effects that we (well, I) need: resampling, consolidation, rendering.

Sound quality and CPU is important.
And, please, macro/scripting implementation.

Yeah you can, but its not LIVE live and maybe requires a bit of prep work

Maybe the whole one button thing is to force people to use keyboard shortcuts on laptops, so its not all mouse clicking around.

Yeah, I´d like that too. A nice realtime lisp dialtect that can eat and produce osc would be good. I imagine mr Henke would even like this too and it´d delight 50 or so powerusers perhaps 10 of whom would still be using it after half a year. Everybody doing tech support is going to go on strike promptlywith severe headaches and those 10 users will be responcible for 90% of the realy hard to trace bugs.

It´s a nice fantasy but it´s not going to come true.

Why not? Make it OOP and let us build our own interface as well...

Fantasy - yes but is that not how most applications begin or continue growth?

I feel a scriptable environment could bring out a variety of new users. There has been many occasions I'd much rather have written a function to change certain patterns or effect parameters over time than gone through my choice of track sections assigning the "Follow Actions" (FA, a very good tool by the way!).

... or for an example - actually an answer to this post http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15607 - You want to load a group of effects and all parameters are to be set to a specified value. Simple with a 'macro', you Press (macro)Record > Load the Effects > Tweak the Effects > Save the Macro, add it to your script list. Of course if needed you can pause (along w/ all the other basic macro recording functions) and continue.

Then a script editor comes into play so you can make further adjustments and because the 'system' wrote the code for the initial macro, it'll help all the rookie scripters copy & paste code to learn the language and methods.

I can totally see these features implemented in up coming releases of Live.
