first, I won live 5 in a contest, and I don't upgrade it because most of the features of live 5 were a bit useless for my work, as I don't need freeze, can convert mp3 by myself, etc.. the only things that I liked were the markers and the comlete drag n drop features. well about live 6....
--hell, god, whatever, I definitly need to record clips enveloppes in session view . In fact, I don't know how I can keep on living without it. it's a true pain, when recording some automation, to create it in arr mode, then bounce to audio. I want to be able to record enveloppes in clips as easily as notes.
--better zomming and scolling: as an energyXT user, I love the way I can zoom and scroll without any specific effort, without having to move my mouse to a specifi lane, etc... the zoom in edit zone has been greatly improve, let's go for the arrangement view!!
--GHOST PARTS!!!! how can we live without them?? if I copy a drum pattern from the beginning of my song to the end, then edit, I have to edit two times... it's really annoying, we should have a way to keep linked parts.
--a pattern pool could be an exciting feature: keeping a copy somewhere of all created pattern, easily browsable, currently, if you save a song in live 5, you can use the browser to insert parts and patterns of the saved song in your new song. great. I want to do the same with the current song, and keep the pattern I may have deleted for reusing. then cleaning part pool could be cool.
those last two previous features almost make me buy p5 v2 instead of updgrading live. I finally chose to wait for live 6, as I m in trust with this software!
--well it's not vital but improving impulse, or making it more modular, could be cool. at least 16 cells without tricks or extra tracks.
--rename notes and save the templates with track. handy for drums.
--another one, again not so vital: way to save complex fx routing: if you do use an impulse, with 3 differents outs routed to 3 differents fx, well you can't save it. so I need either a way to save multiple tracks or a way to route multiple out inside a single track (eg, with in/ouut on each effects).
--bring back alt+click to preview. in addition of the current preview tool.
you know how to earn my bucks
