Hey Peter

Yeah, despite the fact that I started this thread, there is nothing that feel is missing from Live with the exception of:

1) naming MIDI and Audio i/o.  Im scared to count the hours of my life that Ive lost trying to work out why SynthA is not working only to discover that it is audio input "27" and not "28" (ditto with MIDI).

2) More flexible window arrangement.  I actually did not consider this one until I saw how Bitwig does window management..

I guess I should not grumble and just make music  :)
