djing with live.

Post by samurai1 » Thu Aug 28, 2008 9:56 pm

hi there, basicly i have some warped songs on live...but the tracks are made out of beat @ certain places...so when i press play on the next clip, it plays out of beat because the other song mas made out of count...so live thinks it the track is at beat 1 when its at 3 for instance.
how can i make the clip play when needed?
cheers!

I play a lot of indie / IDM music and get this problem.

* Some songs are just a bit more complicated to warp than others, try giving them another go.
* Make separate loops for the intro and outro, then you can warp them correctly and cross fade between them without affecting the main body of the song.
* Use live to edit the song to how you want. I do this all the time if a song doesn’t have an intro or outro you can mix. There are several ways to do this but one of the best is to copy the middle 8, or a part where the song breaks down, and paste it on to the end.
* Some songs you just can’t warp! Some also sound sh*t when you try to warp them.
* There are other ways to mix songs other than beat matching!

cheers ism, great help :)
basicly i edited the tunes so they were as i wanted them...but then i realised i could set warp marker 1 to the first beat after the bit where it goes off & then set the markers backwards!!
