Ableton Forum

Can someone give me a run down on how this works exactly? I used search function, youtube, macvideo, etc.... no avail.

The skinny:

For now, its just a stereo pair. Left and Right. so i have two drum channels.

I want to be able to quantize them, WITHOUT phasing the signal out (like what is happening when i do one at a time...)


My only solution at the moment:

Bounce the Left and Right track into a Stereo track, and adjust from there.... But this means that i have to have the panning set correctly, and other things done that i would like to accomplish in the mixing process.




What do you guys do with multitrack drumming and audio quantizing?? I want to make use of this excellent new feature, but am not sure how to go about it for multitrack drums.

multi-warp the two tracks. select both, and create your markers. when multi-warping, make sure to select the track LAST upon which you want to place markers. something easy.. kick or snare, probably.

NB the tracks in the multi-selection must be of IDENTICAL LENGTH. use a time selection and consolidate command if this is a problem

another way, probably not as useful in this case..

if you set one of the clips to warp master (click the box in arrangement clip view, which says "slave" and it will turn to "master") then you'll set markers on that clip and a tempo envelope will be created on the arrangement, such that the master clip will play unaltered, and all other warped clips on other tracks will follow.

good: the other side of the drum recording will follow.
bad?: all others will follow too. depends on the grand scheme of your song

you can copy and paste warp markers form one clip to another if i recall correctly

i'm pretty sure you can't do that anymore. since live 8 or maybe even 7

however, you can replace the sample in a clip with another. and, if the samples are EXACTLY the same length, the warp markers will remain.

What exactly do you mean by place it in a clip with another? All the samples are the same length. Its me playing 8 bar progressions, 16 bars etc etc, so its blocked up. I just want to get the warp marks that i set to one channel, copied over to the other as so to preserve the phase.



I hope ableton can make this easier .... or is it just me?

Instead of dropping the clip onto the other clip in session (thus replacing it and all it's properties) you drop from the browser onto the filename in the clip properites.. nice little trick there.

just never mind about that.

do it the easy way. select both clips, and warp
