Yo yo party peaps!

I've got a bit of a problem with my Live library...hope someone knows whats goin on!

Basically I've just got a new laptop and installed Live no probs. The problem is that I've copied over my tunes library (with warp files) but Live doesn't seem to read them and I'm having to re-warp all my tunes all over again!!

HELP!!

Hi,

Did you also move the asd files?
Are the files mp3?
If you are on PC, did you have Quicktime installed on the former computer, and is it installed on the new computer?

Same kind of error, but I know my reason why they aren't working. I forgot to click save when I warped them the first time. Is there any way I can re-associate and asd file with the mp3? Going back and rewarping will be a nightmare

Hi,

If you saved the set where you warped the tracks, then the warp markers will be at the right place when re-opening the set, even though you did not click the 'save' button in the detail view. So you can open the set and save the asd file.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there is no way you can retrieve your work.

Thanks. Thats what I did a couple of days ago to get them all back.

Seem to be getting this problem again!

Just bought a new iMac and moved over my carefully warped library (with analysis files) from my Windows XP laptop and Live won't recognise the warps! It even marks each file as having a warp file (little tick on the icon) but does a sample analysis anyway and completely looses what I'd set on the other machine!!

Do I have to go back and re-warp each of my 300 music files or is there some sort of "Import" function???!?!??!

Hi,

Same questions: did you use Quicktime Player when you warped the tracks on the PC and saved the asd files?

If you're unsure, it's worth checking. If it is not the problem, contact support giving details about your setup, and probably sending one of the mp3 files and corresponding asd file.

i got exactly the same problem... - what does quicktime have to do with it though - thats where i am a little lost.....

can someone explain?

help. version 7 has the same issue. anybody get anywhere with this?

Version 8 has the same problem. I don't understand how Ableton can let this problem of disappearing warps remain from version to version.
I have the mp3 file and the asd file in the same folder. The browser shows that the files have been warped (confirmed by the tick on the icon), but Ableton Live does not show the warps.
How can this be solved?

As a rule of thumb, I recommend working with WAVs
