How to manually input BPM for a sample that you are using?

Post by nsinclair » Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:38 pm

Kinda new here. Quick question. Let's say that I am using a pre-recorded audio track in Ableton. In the sample box, below the warp button there is the box that states the BPM of the track. However, ableton has miscalculated the BPM. How can I manually change it? It looks like a text box, however, it is shaded gray and clicking on it does not put my cursor in the box allowing me to type in the real BPM. Any thoughts? Hopefully my question isn't too confusing. Thanks in advance.

hi

if there is only one warp-marker...click on this marker
then you can type and or drag the bpm

if there are more warp-markers in the sample then you may have to do some moving of these markers

note:im not talking about the transient marker(the grey ones)
just the normal markers(yellow)

someone else can probably explain this better

seis.
