is there a master warp track?

In the end though, as soon as I click anything else, all these slaves just go back to no warp.

yes.

you will have to make the selection each time you want to work on the markers of the multi-warp

I still must be doing something wrong because the slaves don't seem to get new markers inserted.

drb - did you watch the video that is on the link that i posted ?

..it's all there

One thing I'm still not solid on is how to get my samples the exact same length. If trimming and cropping won't do it, what will? Do the files have to be trimmed an an external editor?

you ll have to crop and render them in live (or external editor if you wish) so that the actual source files are the same length .. and then re-import them to ableton

I did watch it, but maybe should again, because it didn't work quite right for me.

Trimming, Cropping and Consolidating.

Lets say your un-warped multitracks are slightly different lengths. Crop or trim them on Live's arrange page so the regions are the same length, then hit CNTRL-J/Apple-J to consolidate them into actual audio files of the same length.

Then multi-select, and warp them.

NB that consolidate captures the warp engine output, and also normalizes.

so if normalization bothers your, maybe stick with crop

you are probably best to have warp off on anything you are about to consolidate. if you are comfortable with the effects of the different modes, and the tempo of your set (i.e. has it been changed) then you may be able to leave it on

also has anyone brought up that if you switch the thread title around, you get another useful feature? warp master.

so with a multitrack drum recording for example, if you set any one of the tracks as warp master, then the whole set of tracks will play back unaltered (because they are all lined up and are identical in tempo, including tempo variations) , and a tempo envelope will be generated on the master track which will force everything else in the set to match the drums

That's why I said your un-warped multi-tracks. Perhaps I should have made that clearer.

[longjohns]

no, i should have read better!



it probably doesn't hurt to emphasize the point.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but having found this very useful (thanks to above posters) I'm now having some trouble altering sample length and having Live recognise them as the same.

I have multitracked WAVs, all should be the same length but 2 out of the 14 showed as 6.57.883 (all the others were 6.57.882). I have cropped and consolidated the two files, re-imported them from the folder. They show now as the same length (6.57.882) but when I multi-select, they are still 'seen' as different lengths to the others (they match one another).

Any thoughts? Is this a little glitch - ie sample length not being 're-examined' by Live somewhere?

EDIT: Appear to have got around this by cropping and consolidating ALL the clips (took them all down to 6.57.0). Worked as soon as they were consolidated, didn't need to re-import them.

Perhaps the difference of 0.0.001 was too small to be recognised?

Thought I'd post in case it helps anyone else, anyways.
