Ableton Forum

Hi Folks -

Recording and looping samples directly in Ableton is a piece of cake! No problem.

I am having massive difficulty bringing in Pro Tools samples and getting them to align and loop properly.

I set the bpm within the Sample window, but I can't seem to get the loop start and end points to loop correctly - especially when it's a horn or something that is not rhythmic and doesn't start on the 1.

Is there something simple that I am missing?

hmmm.... lotta people importing stems today http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=147843

Turn OFF "Auto-warp long samples" in Preferences > Record/Warp/Launch, and set Live's project tempo to the correct BPM before you drag the stems in. This way, when you manually turn Warp on for the stems, they will pick up the correct tempo by default.

To fix the issues with the stems you currently have, delete them from Live's Arrange, go to the stems in Finder/Explorer and trash the .asd files, switch off auto-warp in prefs, set the correct project tempo in Live, and drag them in again.

Ah, Thanks for the link!
