Yeah I don't mind that it does one track at a time. I think a multitracked file would just make things more complicated. I love how you said you're juggling files back and forth
to the CS and Ableton. I love the sound of that work flow. I wonder why more people aren';t working like this. Or maybe they are and they're just keeping it on the low. That's cool if they are and I respect that. I'll be trying this tonight.

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.
