Hi Chris, I've had a good look at the viewletcam software and it will let you record audio, so I had a bit of spare time on my hands and thought i'd have a go...hopefully it should do your post justice and give everyone a visual representation of what you are explaining... Have a look, excuse the q...

OOPS

---- The New Updated Version I think I may have compicated matters with my original post. I admit that Im not the best at explaining these things. If I could film it I would , so for the moment my fumbling attempt at explaining with mere text will have to suffice....... ----- Firstly, cheers for th...

is this what you're looking for?

aaaah....
Thanks

Yes, Im amazed this isnt already in there.

Definitely needed.

1. He mentions to open up the track in arrange view and not in session/clip view. Why? 2. I have been using the tap method for tapping out the tempo for a song; then hitting the warp button for the track; and then saving the clip/track to get it's BPM. I tried Chris's method of using trial and erro...

Chris's method is great and works very well. I would simply like to add the method I use for dj'ing with live which for me works very well. My outlook on it is if your going to dj digitally why not do something an average vinyl dj couldn't do. Rather than importing and warping an entire track I pre...

so is this technique in reference to dj-ing w/ live? this whole process still confuses me ... :? Yes. Its about warping full length songs. Ableton can handle 4-8-16 bar loops without requiring intervention from the user most of the time. But its a different matter when it comes to tracks that are 4...

The method described here is just plain ol' time stretching. Great for anything that's been produced with studio equipment (samplers, drum machines, etc, etc...) but WILL NOT work if you're trying to warp music played by a live band. I've been warping tracks by The Beatles and have to place a warp ...

Same if the producer has fun with BPM changes along the track. -Kent True, some tracks I have warped seem to speed up ever so slighltly at the exciting points. Im sure this is intentional. These tracks can cause a few problems because teh BPM will never be exactly 130 bpm for eg. More like 130.532 :)

I can see there are some errors in my explanation of my original post, and some queries that I think I should answer:

Mark, I would tend to agree with Muthafunka regarding EQ'ing your tracks. I can understand adding gain, so no problems there.


Are you doing this on all tracks, or just some of the weaker sounding ones?

Good for you Mark. And your correct habana is 132. The 2 marker approach works pretty well and 60 seconds would be about right. Its pretty cool and fast once you get the hang of it. Now what you should do is edit and enhance Habanna. Add some extra drum loops, fx noises or whatever. I feel that the ...

thanks guys When I record audio in the arrange page its great, the system is really suited to audio. Very funky, cool. Like I said I dont think its a bug, but if some others are experiencing some of the things I have mentioned I would ike to know. I should really use the clip view more, but old habi...
