I guess it would not bother me if it was true.
I couldn't understand why it sounded strange when I played back recorded stuff. Then I noticed in the clip view that the warp was on (despite the fact that I "disabled" it in preferences).
When I turned it off in the clip view the recording sounded the way I intended it.
Well, then it should not bother you because it is true. Both statements from ableton programmers and tests by various forum members using inverse phase cancellation have shown that, if you keep the pitch/tempo the same as the original, there will not be any difference in beats mode (and several of the others). (If you feel differently, of course, feel free to provide some evidence. But please, please read the other threads first. And evidence, in this case, does not mean "someone told me they are different" or "it sounds different".)

Though I do think it would be really useful if there could just be a little light in the interface that turns on if a warping is changing a clip from its original.

You know what, pay attention, here's a real important point for you to think about: the only degraded audio is audio you can't hear at all. And even in that case, it's something worth listening to, if you have anything between your ears except tinnitus.

Live feeds you through its tubes, and you come out the other end, different. Same with any instrument (think of a string as a type of tube, except turned inside out with no hollow in the middle).

Hey, it's sort of like Senator Ted Steven's definition of the Internets:

"Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. [...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

Must've been that 5 martini lunch. He's almost as incoherent as Ted Kennedy.

Since 1966, most of the United States has observed Daylight Saving Time from at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. Beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.
