Complex warp-making SOUNDS AWEFUL! - dual core iMac

Post by NickWax » Fri Jan 25, 2008 5:02 pm

Hey everyone. Ever since I upgraded to my dual core iMac in September, the "complex" warp-marking sounds AWEFUL!!!! It creates a grainy quality that I NEVER had before on my 4 year old PowerBook.

Anyone else experience this when they made the switch-over?

Thanks,
Nick

I'm using Live 6 (the full version). The problem is that I can hear the grainy sound even if I don't change the tempo! If the orignal temp is 130 and all I do is turn on the warp marking, the sound turns to complete garbage.

Thanks for your help.

complex is not the "best" warp mode, it affects sound even at original bpm. have you tried another warp mode more suited to what you are trying to warp? (you may be having a particular issue with complex, if that's case, i have no clue.)

Well, I'm using it to warp-mark trance and house tunes for creating mash-ups and DJ mixes. Often that means warp-marking vocals as well. I've tried a couple other things, but I never used to have this problem with the complex mode.

At any rate, thanks for the suggestion.
