Live 8's new warping... good for you or bad for you?

This is very slightly off-topic, but also on it.

has anyone mentioned that you can now set the start marker to a position before the wave begins? So you can have a bit of silence before the sample.

IE - you don't need to do that weird trick with a volume envelope anymore. You just drag the marker to -4 or whatever and then you have a nice handy 2 bars before your clip starts.

Did you work that out just from watching the videos?
my 2 cents I think the new visualisation where the marker runs at the same speed and the wav compresses/decompresses is right on the money! After all that's what happens.

What about the new beats mode! The most-used-most-important mode for me, now it has more parmeters so (I assume) it sounds better. Nice!!!

I'm a very avid watcher of the videos and a reader of interviews.

Superb.

I think this is how they should've had it from the beginning, so I'm looking forward
to trying it the new way.
Just like all of you, I also had to get used to the original method of warping.
I really don't think it'll be a big deal of unlearning the old for the new.
Visually it feels more natural in LIVE 8.
COOL!

I just downloaded trial copy of reaper to get a glimpse of the new elastic pro. I'm not jumping though! Never!

Can't wait to try this out in live!

I like the new way. this is how it's done with audiosnap in sonar, and makes much more sense to me than the way live goes about it although i have got used to it.

i'm happy with the new way. much more natural. similar to protools elastic audio which is great.

As many others have said, this is a much more natural way to work, and for me, it's the best part of the v8 upgrade (alongside MfL) - although I'm holding out that they've added a scene automation track in the 'other enhancements'

Yeah I think it was mentioned.
