Would like to be able to subgroup tracks in the mixer.

Like this? Maybe not the same, but still a work around.

Grouping Group Tracks? Can it be done?

There are many times it would be beneficial to group already established group tracks. For instance, if you have your vocal verse and verse dub tracks grouped, your chorus and chorus dub tracks grouped, and later decide you would like to place an effect over all of the vocal tracks. It would be easiest to group the group tracks into one combined group track to accomplish this, but as far as I know you can't. If you have to ungroup all of the tracks to regroup them as a whole, you lose all the effects you placed on the individual groups. Has anyone else run into this problem?

You can achieve this by first creating a new Audio Track and then in the routing section tick the "In" box for input monitoring. Then from the "Audio to" drop down of each of the group tracks select the new audio track as your destination. You have now created a sub group or group of your two groups.

No this isn't as easy or exactly the same as just selecting the two group tracks and hitting Command + G to group them, but the end result is the same and it will allow you to process the two group tracks as a whole.

I'm stokedd!!!

LFOs on effect chains without MAX would be nice.

The generic tracks feature that bitwig announced would be cool too.

tell THE GUY at THE GUITAR CENTER that I'm going on a MURDEROUS RAMPAGE if live 9 isn't out this year.

curved automation would be nice

[JTMMusicuk]

but as far as Arrangement view goes I don't know what significant changes they could add without disrupting the workflow.

Multi monitor support wouldn't hurt a bit.

Does it not have this feature already?

No, you can only stretch your window to fit more monitors.

And don't expect it to change. I think they will have to rewrite whole the fundamentals of the app, if they want to split arrangement & session on to 2 monitors.

A better mixing view would be nice (Like the eq in logic)
Lfo & enveloppe automation on every fucking parameter!!!!!!!!!
Reverse button if you select more than one track!
Freezing and flatting when there's a sidechain compression on a vocoder on the track!
Resizing plug - ins

[Disco Nutter]

They have been rewriting the fundamentals of the program, because that was the only way they could make it 64bit.

So any official announce on possible new features ?

Found this on gearslutz, KEEP in mind THIS could BE bogus, dont QUOTE me:



Just wait for Ableton 9. I met an Asus rep at the CES 2012 lunchroom with Ableton 9 installed on an "Asus Ultrabook" if I remember correctly. It was a beta Ableton 9 from the dev's of Ableton for testing on the Ultrabook, but it looked pretty sweet.

I have no screenshots of Ableton 9 but I can tell you what she showed me:

They kept the old design of Ableton with it's interchangeable themes/colors and they've added a new modern interface that just looks more bold and stands out more. New interface uses more Ram obviously but looks pretty damn cool.

Also the new interface mixer view looks very Sonar X1 inspired and it looks terrific.

More advanced midi and audio editing & automation curves.

It's 64 bit, duh, about time. Supports the latest VST builds. Supports Usb 3.0 devices.

Full utilization for modern multicore processors such as 6 and 8 core and utilization of tri-channel and quad-channel ram for Socket 1366 CPU's/mobo's & upward.

Window's 8 ready.

There's really not much new to it other than it's built to be as stable as the OS it is installed on.

Older Ableton projects can be used seamlessly on Ableton 9.

This is a couple of months old. I call fake too.
