Ableton Forum

right i have been using ableton to dj for a couple of months(xp pro, audiophile firewire, uc33,uc17,maxtor 250gig firewire external hd). Last night in a middle of a set i was about to drop a track but for some reason all the warp points for the track i was about to drop had dissappeared, not only that but all the warp points for all the tracks in thats folder had dissappeared. The asd files are still there, there is no reason that any of this should be happening.I rewarped the tracks from last night but it has happened again tonight with a different folder of tracks.

Any help appreciated

sounds like you have some corruption of that directory. rebuild, defrag, clean, etc..

Thinking the same here. Its time to do some serious maintenance of that drive.

I've had this unfortunate experience several times with a small number of tracks, where the warping is just gone.
nothing to do with defrag though

it should'nt be the drive , its only about a month old, i am running all the audio and asd from the external drive

that's why i render all the warped tracks

would you have opened any of these files in an audio editor..?

I remember a post about this before, as soon as you open up a wav in wavelab or similar, even if you dont save it, it still touches the wav file - therefore knocking it out of sync with the asd...

what did ableton say about it?
