Ableton Forum

I think it would be AWESOME to have color coded warp markers. I primarily use
Ableton to DJ, and allowing me to change the warp markers color or even
better - the SHAPE!! - would allow me to use ableton in the same ways
that I utilize other programs such as TRAKTOR Scratch Pro.

The one feature I think TRAKTOR has over ableton is the ability to add
different types of markers within the songs. One type of marker is a
Fade In marker, another marker symbol represents loop points, another
shape represents Fade out, ect.

These markers help me immensely when I DJ. They help me to create a
"road-map" to my mixes by allowing me to mark the areas that I want to
loop, skip, ect. Imagine your Dj'ing in track A and when track B is
loaded your pre-loaded "road-map" is available to you visually - loop
points are indicated, transitions can be pre-marked, ect.

I imagine this being implemented as a "right-click" option (or
control-click for macs) for each warp marker. Right-clicking the warp marker would
bring up a menu, similar to the menu available to change clip colors,
that would allow the user to change the color / shape, ect.

DJ's! SPEAK UP - I cant be the only one who envies my TRAKTOR software for this reason.

Currently I use multiple clips with each section pre-marked at where to start.
Intro, Verse, Chorus, Breakdown etceetc
Each clip named TITLE Intro, Title Vrs1 etc
Helps cause all you need to do then is launch each clip and you can jump around the track easily, loop etc.

This is a good tip, but unfortunately this solution isnt well suited to how i work within ableton. I usually have my entire set (usually 30+ full tracks) loaded into ableton at once. Chopping each track into sections and created 3x-4x more clips just isnt feasible for workflow - but i do appreciate the tip!

maybe it was possible!
- Multi-loop highlighting the area with different color
- Warp markers with the possibility of color change (individually)
- Warp marker with insertion of a label such as locators!
- Saving different regions of LOOP (callable from a list) in warp mode
