Ableton Forum

Hello, I did some recordings at my friend's studio, where he uses protools, and brought the wav recordings over to my ableton, and even though I have the auto-warp long samples box checked off, the samples are all still warped uniformly (the pro-tool samples match in length, but do not match the ableton tempo). My guess is that Ableton is syncing the samples to what it expects was the tempo set in pro-tools? I have no idea. Please help.

Do you know the original tempo? If you set Live to the original tempo even a beat warped clips should match.

Couldn't you turn off the warp, and let the pro tools recordings play as normal? Or are you planning to change the pitch/tempo of the Pro Tools recordings?

It was a one off session, I don't have access to the protools setup anymore. I dont even know if he saved the project after giving me the wavs, so I dont know if he can even check what the original tempo was. I'll have to ask him.

Warp is off. I don't want it to warp. I never want it to warp, and it's always warping everything. Drives me bonkers.

And I was recording pro-tools tracks alongside to tracks I already have recorded in an ableton project, so if I change the tempo, the click track will no longer fit to those original ableton recordings. Never produce across programs is the lesson here.

Just a thought, but in addition to turning off auto-warping of long samples in Preferences, is Warp also turned off in the Clip View? The relevant section of the manual is...

I should have been more specific. You can turn of warp per audio file too.

Also, after the first time you drag something in, if it has gotten warped at that time by default then it will probably be warped every time you drag it in unless you first delete the reference file to that wav so Live can make a new one.
