Great update !
A few simple features that would be so useful in Ableton are :
- Freezing a group
- Hide & make inactive
- Audiosuite (printing an effect into an audio clip)

As a 100% Ableton user for more almost a decade now, I'm very excited for this update, it does add lots or great features wether it's an improvement to an existing utility, interface or a new addition to the DAW, yet I feel that it is still missing alot of important factors that needs a fix or an improvement that would really elevate the experience by a large amount like video compatibility and rendering issues, when flattening a mono track it automatically makes and shows it stereo, not adding more features regarding export filtering like reaper or pro tools, not having stem export features for easier colabs and not having an easier way for making cutdowns regarding tools or shortcuts. That said i still love using ableton but I genuinely think that Ableton should focus more right now on the UI and UX part instead of adding more new instruments and effects or at least work out both.

as someone who isnt well versed in music theory. suck at chords and learning key this just made it so much better for me!

[framebadger]

I really like the look of thesimilar sounds functionality and roar.

But what I'd really like is a built in pitch correction tool like in Logic. Maybe I just have a terrible workflow for it but it would be great to have a mode where you can choose an audio clip, switch into pitch correction mode, it detects pitches and lets you move them around like midi.

I got the 11 update straight away, mostly for take lanes, which are great for a non EDM person like me, so I was hoping the next recording focused tool like this was coming. But maybe these new interface changes are a step towards that *copium*

The MIDI additions are quite impressive, Ableton definitely listened to the cry’s for upgrading the MIDI editor.

Cool tip about waveform magnification:
Right click on it and you can set the units to dB!

[resonatingergonomicsdnb]

Number one thing I am expecting is a Freeze and Flatten one button shortcut. I hate that it is a two process step. I just want it to flatten or render in place right away. Comes in handy with large projects. Also freezing groups woul dbe great.

I'm using Ableton 10 and it has some of the features you mentioned! Like minimizing devices or changing the size of the volume meters!

I started making music with Ableton (version 7). Never used it for looping or live performances, only songwriting and music production - always thought the Session View was amazing to build song structures and write to each section. But the evolution for the rest of the DAW to catch up with other basic needs has been so slow over the years that I can't help but feel let down. I know, it says, and always has said Ableton LIVE. But did it really have to take 10 years to add waveform zoom? A key selector for the project? And why are we still missing a MIDI input/Chord analyser to the top of the window? It's so useful...

But then they go ahead and literally write in a whole VST (XO, an expensive on at that...) into the Drum Rack ( 4:40 )... It's frustrating. We appreciate it, but we also would appreciate these other tiny details that are so helpful to producers...

Anyways, another great video!

Nice. Search and browsing history is what I understood. I was lost with the rest.
I’m at the early stages of music production and I have difficulty understanding how the DAW works because sometimes when I arm a track with drum kits, they don’t play but other instruments play when I arm them

Great video man, thanks!

[mtennantmusic]

Love that you can see session and arrangement view together, that's awesome.

[dragonflythemusician]

yes, waveshape zoom was so waited for! and freezing to a certain point in device chain would be great for me.

[LuisTorres-qzkr]

Some awesome features coming soon. Looking forward to the update!

[OldDirtyMors]

Seing this makes me realize how far behind Abelton to a DAW like Cubase is. Of course, you can make good music with it, but its crazy to see that.

[MansurDorado]

live looks cool now, they move for the better

[FathysalamaOfficial]

Add a midi panic button, also improve the midi chase, thanks

[arielheartheat]

Maybe a better limiter but honestly all these midi editing tools are def will help creativity

[Phadddy]

Worth $50-90...not over $200, why is Ableton so expensive??? If they had added an fx modulator and pitch correction like Cubase has, the price would be justified.

The similar sound feature is simple but really useful because you can easily make a brand new kit of coherent sounds without the need to previously selecting them and losing a lot of time!
