Multitrack Warping/Editing

as a drummer i very much miss the possibility to warp-edit a multitrack instrument, like my drumkit.
same w/ all other situations, where more than one track of the same instrument is recorded (percussions, guitar-amps w/ 2 or more mics, BV`s etc..)

i have to render, leave live, do the work in logic or pro tools or another external sample editor, bounce the edited stuff and bring it back to live.

i wish i could just open a "multtrack-editing-mode" and then assign the to-be edited-tracks or so...
quiet "simple", i would imagine...

please, make live my complete solution!!
Thanks

see manual page 78. basically the technique is to warp one of the tracks, an easy one - maybe kick or snare. then make as many copies of this clip as you have total drum tracks. then replace the samples in the copies with your other drum tracks. then all will be warped exactly the same.

this assumes all samples are the same length, i.e. recorded together at one time

well, as a reader of the manual i have tried exactly that method - and surprise - it did not work.
i contacted the ableton specifications team and they told me some weeks ago, that, although it is explained in the manual as u said, it seems surprisingly but obviously not to be working and they are trying to fix it, or maybe even think about another solution for L6...
if you have tried it and it worked (!), please let me know...

apart from that problem, it would still be much nicer, if you could "visually" work on numerous tracks beeing edited in that moment instad of copying warp markers into other clips, would`nt it?...

thanks for your reply, longjohns, and please reply again, if we`re all wrong here...
best regards,
