Weird "staying in time" issue - Live 8

[espytwelve]

I've never experienced this problem before, but Live 8 is giving me huge problems with two clips staying in time together. I could have two loops playing together, and once I jump to a part of a song using the speaker icon, things get all out of sync. this is terrible, what is the deal??????

[hybridjosto]

are they midi or audio?

if audio the warping might not be accurate..

Hello,

Is the material in sync with the metronome?

Best,

They are audio clips. The warping has never been "accurate" in Ableton. It's better in Live 8 than it has ever been, but I don't think this is a warping issue. I've updated with each latest version as it's become available, and this problem still exists. When launching a second clip, the first kick of the second clip starts to drift after say, 4-8 bars.....This is driving me nuts, I would never feel confident in performing live without my set eventually taking a shit because two clips can't stay in time together. I've NEVER had this problem with any previous version of Live, WHAT IS THE DEAL??????? I can't imagine nobody else isn't having this problem - this happens every time I play a DJ set


PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the metronome is the key here, with it activated, do one or both of the tracks go out of sync? are they short loops or long loops? If they were autowarped by ableton they don't always work 100% to the track try tweaking the warp markers...

this seems like more of a bug, not an autowarp issue. it doesn't have anything to do with the warp markers, they are fine. i'm also having a dropout issue where a track will start to drop bars and eventually drop audio completely, though the track is still playing. Is it possible to simply have a "bad version" of Live 8????

Same thing is happening to me. I imported a banjo audio track I recorded as a .WAV and then wanted to record a midi keyboard track on top of it in Live. I imported the .WAV as an audio clip and started recording the midi track, but found that punch-ins were impossible because of the time drift. No warping or quantizing on either track. The only way I could keep them in synch was to start at the beginning of the clip for every single playback. Annoying. This plus the fact that the EIC Grand Piano makes Live crash and is therefore unusable (I compose a lot on piano) is starting to make me regret my $700 purchase. It would be great if Ableton had a presence on some of these posts and addressed these issues, many of which seem to center on 8.9 Macbook pro users. This software ain't cheap and drifting tracks is unacceptable in any recording set up. Support is needed
