Ableton Forum

Whenever I throw a clip into Live, it will be analyzed. I get warp markers, and a BPM value etc.
How can I access these information? I didn't ever found any files where it possibly is stored.
There are .asd files which supposed to have that info, but I never found any of my own clips.asd...

Even the API does not provide this vital information...

Where does Live store that data? It must be somewhere...

Any hints are welcome...

The .asd file should be in the same folder as the audio file.

Perhaps you need to save either the set or the warped clip to generate the .asd file - don't think so though.

Somewhere in the bowels of the forum there is a post which explains the format of the .asd file i.e how the data is stored.

I have always thought it would be possible to write an external which parsed the .asd file and extracted the warp marker data from it.

One day I'll try and do this - unless someone reads this and does it first (hint hint!)

there is a timo rozendal max external for parsing .asd files in maxforlive.

works a treat, but not used it in a while.

stefan be aware, i think it is possible to turn off auto creation of .asd files in live's preferences. be sure you have not set that by mistake.

Awesome. Nice one Timo!

Thanks a lot for all the info, this will push me forward...
