There's an annoying issue with Ableton: the way it exports MIDI.
Ableton lets you export only ONE clip to MIDI, not the whole arrangement
or a whole row in the session view. With other words: no multitracks.
(Although it can import or open multitracked MIDI files fine.)

If you use other (older) DAWs, like Cubase, Logic, ProTools,
Sonar/Cakewalk, etc... they are able to export multitrack MIDI.

BTW I also use the Live because it's very fast and intuitive in many ways.
So if I want to send back edited MIDI from Ableton into the CS,
I synchronize them and simply play/record it.
