Ouch! If I have not been courteous to anyone, please point out where; so that I can apologize and learn from my mistakes.

Never mind. I figured it out. Disable long warp in Preferences or freeze the track, which will allow changing tempo, without changing its length. Truly, teaching is a lost art.

I need the missing step 3 below. 1. Right-click in the Tempo field (top left) -> select "Show Automation." 2. Click above the broken orange line in the the Master track below and drag horizontally to highlight a region. 3. ??? 4. Hover mouse over the broken orange line, until it turns blue...

I have viewed at least 10 Youtube tutorials on how to "easily" change the tempo, and none of them use the Sample Editor, where the Warp control is accessible. But yes, I did try changing the tempo of an audio clip in the Editor, with Warp enabled. But this option is totally lame as INCREAS...

Have you run a search for the files, using a third-party search app, like UltraSearch that does a better job of finding files (and much faster)? If you use a file manager, you may have accidentally moved the missing files to another subdirectory. If you do not have a good File Recovery program, you ...

Are you saving to a custom location or using the native folder under "Documents"?

I want to change the tempo of an audio clip, which I find is extremely difficult in Ableton. The manual is, as expected, useless. Can someone lend a hand and point out what I am overlooking in the steps below? 1. Arangement view -> drag & drop audio clip into an Audio track at right. The track w...

Thanks for your kind response. It worked (I think), according to my ear. Now to compare the waveform with the original, or to a metronome.

I have Ableton Lite version 11.3. After loading an audio file into a track in Arrangement view, I enabled automation. In the Track Title section, only "Mixer" or "None" appear (no "Song Tempo"). Am I to understand that the Lite version does not include "Song Tempo&...

That worked! Thank you sooooo much.

The VST2 file extensions are *.dll and VST3 are *.vst3, which I read somewhere that they should be stored in separate directories. I had mine mixed and stored in multiple locations. After creating subfolders, under C:\Program Files\Common Files, I pointed my multimedia apps to this location, for 64-...

I set the time signature to 6/8 at top left and also to 6/8 in the Sample Editor below. In the Sample Editor, I then set the start point (1.1.1) and right-clicked in the waveform to assign Fixed Grid as 1/8, selecting also Triplet Grid. But the grid appears as 9/8, erroneously divided into nine sect...

Thanks for the help. I think I can live with file swapping, rather than point Audacity to Ableton; since such setting would need to be undone for other audio-editing projects.

Thanks for responding and sharing the useful suggestion. Unless I am overlooking something, adding an audio editor like Audacity to Preferences offers a quick step to editing an audio clip; but after the edit, the clip needs to be exported in Audacity, imported into Ableton then the original deleted...

Thank you for lending a hand. Both options you mention work nicely for me.
