Elastic Audio
In Live, tempo is completely fluid. Throw in whatever you like—from single drum loops to multitrack creations—and Live keeps the groove locked down tight. Match the tempo to a new mood, tie it to a movie's key frames, or keep up with your jamming partners—all without stopping the music. Live also lets you fix timing errors and continue tweaking after the fact, making it simple to repair that near-perfect guitar riff, abuse the groove of a drum loop, or get creative in a hundred ways we haven't even thought of yet. Audio is now a rubber band!

Tempo Automation and SwingLive lets you automate your project tempo continuously, and your music follows. Record at a slow tempo and play it back faster. Beyond tempo, with the simple twist of a single control, you can also apply a variable amount of swing to your project to get it grooving just the way you like it. |

Warp MarkersWarp Markers allow for the arbitrary adjustment of beats within a loop or audio file. Push and pull individual beats to correct (or destroy) the timing of any audio file. Choose from several Warp Modes—Beats, Tones, Texture, RePitch and Complex—to provide pristine warping results for whatever kind of sonic materials you work with. |

Warp Music to Picture, Picture to MusicLive is perfect for matching music to picture—or vice versa. Elastic audio makes it easy to warp music to match the hit points or key frames of imported video—but you can also warp the video to match the music and export the results. In Live, video is just as elastic as audio. |

Auto WarpingLive's Elastic Audio engine automatically detects the beats in your audio files. Just drag in an audio file; Warp Markers will be set automatically and the file warped to the current project tempo. Even entire songs with complex tempo changes can be warped, allowing for intricate DJing and remixing projects. |
