I don't mind where the post goes, It's all about exposure.

I get you.. Forum rules though are no dupes so voting does not get watered down however (the guy on the other thread will see his post disappear along with his votes). What should happen now is this post should get merged.

I voted for both threads. What will happen when they get merged? My votes also get merged into one? 

At this stage I doubt they will get merged!

Well take lanes are unsuitable for MIDI because you can't edit MIDI data in take lanes. Have you ever tried? The draw tools don't work, fit MIDI content doesn't work, the lanes have a vertical max of about 2 inches. I suppose this could all be fixed, but yes, death will come sooner. Clip layers won't be making a return.
 
One simple solution to the OP's complaint that I'd really like is the addition of a record option to merge new material into existing clips.
