It does? I'm still on Live 6 so unless this has been a feature of Live 7, I'm not looking in the right place. The only way of coming close to snap to grid for me is selecting the range in the arrangement, then drag the automation line so it'll place two dots perfect on the two outer grid lines of the selection.

Logic is often too complicated with it at moments that I just want to do something really simple, or maybe I'm just missing some simple tricks.
Logic has this as well, just turn on "Snap to Absolute Value" from the "Smart" menu on the top right hand corner. You'll need to do it both on the Arrange window as well as the Matrix view. I just wish they turned it on by default.

This is the one reason why I prefer Logic automation to Ableton. You can do some really cool things with automation curves, especially if you use the automation like an envelope.

But the snap doesn't always work that well...
I have the "Snap to absolute valua" and stuff, but still it might go all wrong in LP8. Not nice

Ok guys.. One more question!
I´ve tried to get this to work, but need assistance.
Is there a way of grouping tracks together in a folder?
So if you have 5 tracks with percussion, you can just drop
all of those in a folder, to get things neat and organized?

Yes it's absolutely possible, you should see this feature explained somewhere in the pdf manual that gets installed along with logic (use preview's search assumed that you enabled spotlight). I don't use it myself as I tend to render almost everything to audio and mix tracks together. You want me to look for you??

I didn't quite understand that...
Can you explain more what do you mean by this?
Do you mean that you want to put your songs/tracks that use similar percussions in to same folder?

I believe he means putting all percussion tracks in one folder for better overview.
Very handy on big projects.

Ok... I think I get it now, lets try again:
1. I choose some cool percussions
2. I put them in to one track
3. I'll put this track in one folder where I'm going to put/save all tracks with other cool percussions
Did I get the idea now?
And I can do the same with kicks, claps, snares...?

If u have 20 percussion tracks in your arrangement, you put them in a folder called `percussions` and when u close the folder it takes up the space of 1 track as opposed to 20.
