copy and paste warp markers

Post by origami » Fri Aug 26, 2005 10:20 pm

here is a questoin.

i am using live 4. say you warp 1 full track, can you copy and paste the warp markers to new clips. my goal is to take stems of a track to perform live that werent programmed quantized, but they are all the same.....

ie drums, beats, bass, keys ect.

is there a way to do this?

assuming youve warp markered ONE of them, u can apply those markers to the other files. (this is what u meant, right.)

its kind of a back door method. there is no direct copy and paste way.

the one file thats warped the way u want, has an .asd file stored where the wav/aif is. u can copy and paste that .asd file, once for each other wav, and rename each to exactly match the wav file, but is .asd instead of .wav.

every one of your stems have their own .asd file, but they were all copied and renamed from the original properly warped file.
make sense?

Hey Origami, If I understand what you want to do, YES there is a way to do it.

[quote from page 78 of the Live 5 manual]

Tip: When bringing in 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 easily be done provided the individual samples have the exact same length (which is usually the case if they have all been exported from several tracks in one go): Pick the sample with the clearest rhythmical pronounciation and set the Warp Markers for this as described elsewhere (page 86). Next, make enough copies of this clip to hold all the individual samples, and drop the samples from the Browser into the clip. The Warp Markers will be retained, because the samples all have the same length.

[end quote]

In other words, make your "master" warped file, duplicate it in the session view as many times as you need, then drag the other multitrack files straight from the Browser into the Warp Marker window of each of these copies.

It does work! I use this for tightening drum multitracks all the time. I warp up a stereo ruffmix of the kit, and then apply the same Warp Markers to the component multitracks.
