Frustration with slow development of Ableton Live 2022-01-14T21:22:04+00:00 Bit of a Rant: I've been using Live since Version 4 and since I'm hitting 40 soon. I realize how frustrated I am at the slow speed that Ableton is introducing new features, because it feels like I might have one leg in the grave before any substantial new features are arriving. I think even 11.1 has now been longer in beta than an entire update of Studio ONE and FL Studio. Sure Live 11 was a great update, but most of the features should have been here a long time ago and people have told Ableton so considently for years and considering how incredibly successfull Ableton is, I really don't understand why it takes them this incredibly long to develope and introduce new features. I'm sure they could have recoded Ableton 3 times by now if an old codebase was the problems. And I am not just talkign about obvious useful features that other DAWs had for years I am also talking about creative new features that break us even more free from the traditional DAW layout that has been around forever and is basically mimicing a mixer connected to a multitrack tape machine. I could think of a hundred things that would make Ableton more fun and easier to use (and not just more complicated) and it's hard to imagine that the devs at Ableton don't have those same ideas. So I am wondering if anybody can explain to me, why it just isn't the case that they're introduced? With all the technological advances all around happening, it really feels like the DAW sector in general should also step up it's game in a serious way. There is so much processing power to be harnessed with GPUs and now even AI acceloration build into chips, I just want to see developers use all this stuff. There isn't even mousewheel support in Live in 2022 :bang: We had to wait years for them to fix the pitch bend bug... like wtf Rant Over docbot https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=103739

At home - almost every time I sit to it. Outside - never.

But I don't know what it has to do with anything? Launching a clip or scene works the same way regardless whether the clip is a solid, fixed object like in Live; or is a container holding several audio events with their own edits and processing.
