Ableton Forum

Ok, i warped a track which was easy to do, a few marker at the begining and a couple in the middle.

The differnce is this tack it was a wsimple groove track without many eliments. simple beats..........so more complexed sound..not as easy, not as tight

my issue is that im only using ableton for sequencing DJ sets(not Live)

So i worked out a set on a pair of CD decks which I wanted to record.
I thought Id try use live since I could had a few tricks in their + it nice to control the fades between tracks.

Whats happened is i've spent hours warping ...

im using electronic tracks

4/4 house, electro, prog etc

just wondering on average how many markers people are using and how long it takes per track

I understand the process but im taking about the time it takes to get these tracks warped.

how many markers as guide?
