Ableton Forum

Thanks, oddstep. I'm an acoustic musician who has waited all too long to get into digital audio.

Another quick question: I've dropped a sample (actually a 2 beat piano loop) into Simpler, and as I transpose the sample, the beats play closer together. Is there a way to transpose samples up and down ...

have you seen demos of ableton? Time stretching is one of the reason's why it is so popular. If you have entire songs and are trying to reduce it by 100 BPM you might hear some artifacts but generally anything percussion related you will not hear any difference.

I've worked through a few, but ...

So I'm new to Ableton (using 8 ) and DAWs in general, forgive the newbieness of these questions.

In a loop, the notes (or at least beats) in a loop have fixed relation to each other as they were recorded. So as you mess with BPM and loops, you'll distort the sound, no? Doesn't this make loops ...

sweet, that is fantastic. Thanks for the help!

Hi,

New to this all, so bear with me a second.

I can't seem to find anywhere what the "rate" value corresponds to in the Operator LFO, besides being some arbitrary timing value. I'm modulating the filter only, and I'd like the oscillation to synch with bpm. Is there an easy way to do this?
