Swing & Groove Question / Tip

[M6live]

Yo. Would it be possible to apply any sort of swing / groove to the output of an audio track?

[longjohns]

yes, if the audio track were playing a clip which was equipped with warp markers

[M6live]

what if there is no audio clip on that track, but audio is running through the channel

Not live audio no.

You'd have to fake it with gating/volume automations, repitching effects w/ synced LFO's, filtering, delays and buffer repeat type fx. One simple thing you can try is two AutoPans. set to maybe 50%, that are beat-synced with shape of choice. Adjust the Offset and you are good to go (btw, triplets are fun to use ). Just use the fx in awkward intervals and offset in strange ways.

Simply record the audio to a track unless you are talking about realtime grooving. Which of course, no DAW can do yet.

Thank you for all of the responses. The issue is much clearer to me now.

That would be awesome.

go into your piano roll of whatever midi instrument you are using, and switch the groove to "Swing 16". Then go up to the swing box next to the BPM indicator in the top left of ableton and raise it to your preference.
