Cutting stuff shouldn't take long, it's just removing it to the clipboard (deleting from the arrange page). Copy/dragging is what's really slow for me.

This is my biggest problem with live. Working in the arrangement view quickly gets to be like wading through treacle

This is what I said on my very first point on this forum. To repeat I said "ableton needs to work their code".''''' This type of gui sluggyness is purely down to amateur coding. Fucking disgraceful for a software thats on version five!

as i said earlier ... been dealing with this for a few years now and i do believe it's gotten worse.

im going to start a new thread on this to see if we can:

a) get them to acknowledge there's a serious problem and

b) tell us that they're taking this seriously and working to fix it

*BUMP*

I'm confirming this also. A project with many channels is extremely annoying to work with because of this issue.

The clip count doesn't make a difference: if I have a new project consisting of, say, about 40-50 channels (a count this high because of Impulse individual slot routing etc) there is no need for more than one MIDI part in the arrangement view, and then trying to duplicate it by Ctrl-dragging it. CPU at 0-2% and still, a long, tedious wait! Might be 5-10 seconds depending on the amount of channels.

It's as if the Live engine repeatedly deals with the whole channel configuration inside the wrong program loop during a drag procedure or something. Please look into this and fix it. As far as I'm concerned, this one should be your top priority at the moment.

this has got to be the single problem i'm having with live. otherwise it's a breeze to work with. i found that dragging is even slower when i'm zoomed in really close. a workaround for me is copy/paste which is rather fast here.

Same here ! And I only have got 20 tracks!!
It takes sometimes 20 seconds to duplicate or copying clips around.
It can't be true that 1 Gig of RAM is not enough to work fast with ableton.

people:

please cast your vote in the poll i started on this issue here

http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29141

if you havent already

ideally we will have people who are not experiencing this voting NO as well,
so theres some sense of what percentage of people are having this problem

ie if we can show that its a large enough percentage of users, they wont
have any choice but to finally do whatever it takes to address this

i think they're still buried with bugs and nothing short of an all out protest
is going to have any chance of getting them to do it at this point ...
