I'm trying to remix some songs that I recorded many years ago on 16-track analogue tape, which I've had converted to digital format.
When I import the WAV files from the original recording into Ableton Live, set the appropriate tempo and then try to run the audio alongside the MIDI sequence data, I find that the audio and MIDI tracks gradually go out of alignment as the song progresses. So what sounds perfectly in sync for the first verse sounds well out of time by the time the song has progressed to the middle.
I'm trying manually to align the audio with the MIDI by eight-measure long segments, carefully adjust the tracks so they're running in sync.
I wondered, though, if there's a way of blocking a group of tracks together so that moving one will move the lot. I know that I can block highlight a bunch of tracks and move them together in the arrangement view but that doesn't work when the timing is a matter of milliseconds and the view is really close up because you can't see beyond even a measure of the arrangement.
So how can I associate a bunch of tracks in this way, so that moving, say, the kick drum track slightly will bring the rest with it?

I am conflicted:
Do I go "Wow that's so cool, I have such a great use for that" and display ignorance or stay quiet...

It may well be that I have been making this more complicated for myself than is necessary.Tone Deft wrote: arrange view

I shall try what you suggest and see what happens.
Thanks.
