I have a long recorded track which is real time and want to map its tempo as a global tempo so that ableton slaves to it...how is that done?

In Arrangement, select your clip, and in its clip properties panel ("detailed clip view") there's a button labeled "Follow". Click it and it will turned to "Lead" (it needs to have Warp enabled).

So what about spline based ramps etc with ease in/out?

BTW I ended up checking it out; thanks.
I enabled the clip in arrange view as leader. So you have to add markers to the entire leading track? Doing a simple test by creating and audio file with voice (click clack), it doesnt seem to synchronize very tightly with the click track

I couldnt see how you can do ramping and bias splines for timing etc
