Tape Wow Using Transpose?

[milfhuntr]

I am having trouble using transpose for a tape wow effect because it moves by 1 semitone intervals. Anyone know how to change the grid so I can draw in very subtle wows?

Live has lovely frequency shifter plug in, which is perfect for this purpose, just remember to set phase to 0, so it won't pan all over.

You can also do it with simple delay in repitch mode.

Thank you so much, this actually works. Everything everyone else has said to me did not really give a warping record effect, this finally did. And the fantastic thing is, it returns to normal when you stop moving the time around.

Repitch mode... Two and a half years of Ableton and my dumbass never even heard of this!

What? I don't really get this how does this create a tape wow effect. You meant the kind of wow an analog tape does when the reels speed of spinning slightly varies?

It is more of a warped record thing. For a flutter thing like tape I found Airwindows Flutter which works pretty good.

If you use the transpose envelope in an audio clip and hold Ctrl/Cmd when you drag a breakpoint, you can move them in cents rather than semitones. I do this instead of autotuning if I have a bum note here and there in a vocal track

Ha! so true, I love all those hidden goodies in Live.

Thanks for that. Use this tip on a daily basis now.
