Warping Multiple Tracks

I really seem to have been on the crack pipe about this sample replacement thing. I have just checked v.5 and even v.3 (no MIDI, wtf!!) and can't figure out what the hell I was talking about.

8.2.5 Replacing the Clip's Sample

Tip: When bringing multitrack audio from another program into Live for remixing, it is convenient to set Warp Markers for only one of the composite samples and copy the same set of Warp Markers to the other tracks. This can be easily done provided the individual samples have the exact same length (which usually is the case if they all have been exported from several tracks in one go): Pick the sample with the clearest rhythmical pronunciation and set the Warp Markers for this sample as described elsewhere. Next, make enough copies of this clip to hold all the individual samples, and drop the samples from the Browser into the clips. The Warp Markers will be retained, because the samples all have the same length.

The Replace Sample Button.

The Replace Sample button is for replacing a sample throughout the entire Live Set. All clips that reference the old sample will reference the new sample, which is selected using a file-chooser dialog. Live retains the clip properties; the Warp Markers are kept if the new sample has the same or a greater length as the old sample and discarded otherwise.

edit: OK, I don't know what I was doing wrong while trying to test this out, but Amaury helped me out with the correct info: YES, you can still do this in all versions, including 8! If the samples are of identical length, you drag the new sample onto a duplicated copy of the warped one... the markers should remain.

I noticed when warping multiple tracks, you don't have access to the "Segment BPM" input slot. This means you can't quickly input a bpm that the track is hovering around, and fine tune it afterwards.

In multiple warp mode, what is the fix for this?

It seems like I can't succeed doing that.
I duplicated the bass track 6 times so i can wack the guitar (and all the mic recordings) on top of every duplicated copy, so to replace and keep bass' warp markers, and it won't work.
Markers are not there anymore.
