95, 140, and 175 bpms, how to warp and mix in one set
95, 140, and 175 bpms, how to warp and mix in one set
Any suggestions? I've been playing with warping to different master tempos, different warp modes, etc., but can't seem to find a good solution. I'm happy to change the master tempo at certain points but would like to be able to mix music at 140, then to around 95 and end at 175. Anyone have some good tips?
If you change the name of a scene to 145BPM, when you launch that scene Live's Master Tempo will switch to 145 BPM. So when you want to change the tempo of your set, just put a clip in a scene on it's own, then name the scene to the tempo of that song, and hit the Scene Play Button.
Lives master tempo will remain at that tempo until you change it again.
You can also assign a knob or fader to the tempo if you have a mdi controller.

Depends what you mean by seamlessly. You can't beatmatch a 95BPM track with a 140BPM track.
It can't be done. (Unless you want to play your tunes at at stupidly high tempo
)
But if you launch a 140BPM scene while a track is playing with a tempo of 95BPM on the previous scene, the music will not stop when the 95BPM tune stops and the 140BPM tune starts, and the 140BPM scene will launch in sync with your Global Quantisation. (You'll probably want to keep Global Quantise set to around 8bars...)

I think you need to have lots of little tricks, for each different situation.
Sometimes i turn off the warping all together for one tune whilst I move the tempo, othertime masses of fx to sooth the transition.
You can also try warping the tunes incorrectly... for example:
a track played originally at 173.3 bpm can be warped to exactly 130 bpm if you treat it as if it is all triplets.
You get this very weird rhythm, but with certain tracks it works a treat!
