Time stretching all clips based on the change of one?

Post by repeatle » Mon Aug 20, 2012 11:56 am

Hello,

I've recorded an analog setup (no MIDI or internal synths in Live) and at first the music fits perfectly to the metronome of Live.
After a while, everything starts drifting.

My recording consists of sequencers (TB-303) that loop independently. One may loop after, say, seven steps, the next perhaps after thirteen steps and so on.
This makes it really hard to find where they start to drift in time.
I did however have a TR-606 that looped after sixteen steps (a full bar).
Can I use the 606 recording to time stretch everything? I know there's this thing with master and slave but I haven't used it. Is that the way to go?
How would you guys achieve this? The recordings are not warped to begin with. Perhaps I should start by warping them and then put a warp marker at the end of that 606 loop?
And then adjust all the recordings after that 606 channel?

Here's the track I wanna time stretch. You can hear that it's a bit hard to find where to start, hehe:
