Ok...I am getting the hang of warping, adding beats and making beats. But I am still having a challenge with making clips out of sections of pre-recorded dance/hiphop/ or any songs. I am sure that Live works this way...I just can't seem to do it. I have the APC 40 and the Axiom 49. Here is what I would like to do...please advise me if you know how to do this or if there is another method to do it.

• Select and copy sections of music, warp them and make clips out of them to load into the APC40.
  Then Add beat elements I create in MIDI as clips so they sync with the music clips.

My MIDI beats play fine until I try to sync them with loops or pre-recorded warped music. They start to go off beat as the song progresses. Should I convert my MIDI beats to wavs then warp the wav?

Any help it greatly appreciated...looking forward to getting busy over the weekend!!!

Thanks all
