HI

I have been dragging and dropping a bunch of very long audio files (4-5min)into LIVE5 some are OK but others seem to loose their timing (slightly)- is there anything in particular I should be doing (I am new to Live).

Thanks.

Porpoise.

Yeah, you should be reading the f**king manual!

HI

What is your problem?

I have been looking at the manual and could not find anything to suggest I was doing something wrong.

I could go back and spend a week reading it but isn't the point of a forum to get access to experienced user support?

I normally come here under a different 'tag' and have been doing so for 2 years and have 2,000+ post's - I don't need stupid responses to a genuine request for help/advice.

If you don't like my question - fair enough: but why not go else where with your unhelpfull remark?

Porpoise.

look into "autowarp" and "warp markers" . . . the pdf manual is searchable . . . it's probably explained better there than by me.

check out the abe's forums - there are a few topics on warping strategies.

So are you trying to warp 'em or just play 'em straight?

HI

I am trying to play them straight - no warp involved, that's why it seems strange - who mentioned warp?

I am simply dropping the audio file in Live from XT at the EXACT same tempo - some files are OK, others are shorter than they should be - in XT they appear OK.

You may have autowarp turned on - it's in the preferences somewhere - if that's the case with long files the autowarp doesn't always do a perfect job (it's better to manually warp them) & this may be messing the timing up.

edit: I believe it is turned on by default

HI

I will go and check it, I know when you drag and drop a file onto the gui (which is what I am doing) the individual file with have it's 'Warp' button alight - I have been turning these off individually as I load tracks.

Thanks.

Sorry about that. My evil twin must have gotten on the computer again. I'll make sure to have a word with him ASAP.
