Mp3 Warping time-consuming?

Post by blueprint » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:58 pm

I read the thread about warping mp3's and I think it's great and all but it is very time consuming.

Alot longer than I expected.

This is especially relevant because I wanted to do a Live set live and just using mp3's and some added drum loops/samples.

But since I have thousands of mp3's I've collected over the years this process would be time defeating and not worth it.

Is there something I'm missing out on or are the digital dj's out there spending hours behind the laptop setting warp markers :roll:

Thanks.

Thanks.
yes they do, but you get much better at it as you practice to where it only takes a few minutes per common electronic track.

you can also basically go unwarped and learn how to just use live as a third turntable / cdj, but then you will be doing all that beatmatching yourself and this requires a separate amount of work to figure out how to do.

dance tracks digital and 3beat sell pre-warped tracks as well.

or you can pay this guy: http://www.abletonlivedj.com/forum/prof ... rofile&u=5 to do it for you.

Ok. well, that's somewhat relieving.

There were several methods, which is the best full mp3 warping method?

all the methods seem the same to me.

just start working.


I set aside 1/2 hour per session for warping tracks for future use.

Good luck
