warping tracks

[ellboss]

was wondering what is the best way to warp loops and lyrics so that they are exactly beatmatched. Is there an easier way then just doing it by ear. cheers

you warp with your eyes, confirm with your ears

I usually find that if you increase the track volume in clip view there is a distinct, visible pattern running through each tune, increasing the level just makes them more visible.

Once you select a start point for the first warp marker, usually on the first downbeat of the track, just move to the end of the tune and look for a repeat of this pattern. When this is done check the wave for breakdowns, they are usually visible, and put warp markers on the first downbeat after each breakdown. I usually end up with four or five markers per tune and they mix perfectly.
