some usability suggestions

Post by phränki » Mon Dec 21, 2015 11:57 am

Hi there, I'm not a active forum member, but a professional everyday Ableton user since Ableton Live 5.
Some things that can avoid daily annoyance in terms of usability:

Clips and scenes:

- in Audio Clips: multiple choice of warp markers, in order to move them as a group

- rename multiple clips and scenes at once via multiple choice

- make more common clip properties editable via multiple choice

APC40 mkII (and similar Control Interfaces maybe):

- disable/delete predefined controller assignments without the need for new assignments

- After assignment of MIDI or Macro knobs the "clip frame" jumps to the top of the session view, to the first scenes. Keep the frame in place.

Tracks:

- recording in audio tracks (arrangement view): separate undo-option for overdubbed takes (e.g. in looped sections)

- track routings (I/O) via drag & drop, maybe indicated through cables/lines

Rendering process:

- At the end of a rendering process avoid the lingering sound to be played out loud. It's really shocking every time and makes me spill coffee all over my equipment ;)

- accept a loop selection as a render selection (not only selected arrangement sections)


BTW Im on Ableton Suite 9.5 on Windows 8.1 64bit.
Sorry for suggestions that may have been given before by other users. I hope at least some of them can be implemented in future versions. Thanks in advance!
