The guy lost his warp info after a rebuild, then he installed Quicktime and all was well.

So Live doesn't work without Quicktime? What's going on?

Live uses quicktime for mp3 support.

That's new to Live 6 I guess. I was under the impression that it was just for video support.

HARUMPH!!!

I'm the guy that had the problem that Quicktime fixed. It fixed it because apperently Live uses Quicktime's codec (?) to decode the mp3's to wav and then it references the warp info for the wav file from the asd. Before I had Quicktime installed, it was using some standard Win XP codec or something which led to a slightly (?) different wav file so the asd file couldnt recognize it... I think... This is my understanding.

By the way, I am running Live 5.
