loop sound files without warping

Post by matcham » Wed Oct 19, 2016 4:31 pm

I use Live since many years, and I always missed this basic feature :
being able to playback a loop sound file without warping it.
I mean : with no time stretch, no pitch shifting ; just playing the whole sound file, looped.
(actually, when warp is disabled : loop is disabled as well...)
I know : I can enable warp + right click on the beginning of the waveform and select "warp from here (Straight)"
but in that case, if the tempo of the project changes, I must re-do this operation on all the clips... that really kills the workflow !!!

why I need to do this ?
I often mix files that come from field recordings with other materials.
my files are already perfectly looped, with nice crossfade, ... I just want to be able to loop these files with absolutely no warpingStretchingPitchshifting### FX !

+1. Not being able to loop unwarped sounds makes me sad.
