AN OPPORTUNITY:
I’ve seen a lot of requests for many very useful features on this forum and I think it’s very forward thinking of Ableton for inviting us to make them.
But rather than making LIVE more bloated with features that will probably begin to compromise stability and blur the original vision, what about this:
I think Ableton should build a Rewire "Host" sequencer application, which would contain more standard midi & audio features. That way the programmers could stay more focused and the code could remain autonomous. It would also open up many more options for potential customers.
Rewire technology has blown a huge hole in the "all in one box" mentality that has bloated so many DAWs.
Ableton, if you look at the feature set of the "classic" Cubase VST program for inspiration - which Steinberg has abandoned for the sake of copying Digidesigns PT model (see Nuendo & Cubase SX) - You will take over the universe.
