  • 90 and 180 might actually work, what with 90 being exactly half of 180.

  • I don't blame you for not knowing the Circle of 5ths. I just like this simple tutorial you put up because there's a lot of videos with people who can't speak English well, and this is the only video I liked.

  • I want to warp a track that has an intro without any beats. I know when warping I have to set the play head start point at the first beat for accuracy then set 1.1.1 at the point. I want the song to be warped but I want to be able to drop it in at the beginning of the track before the beat starts and have it in time. What is the most effective way to warp to accomplish this? anyone? thanks.

  • When I go to Preferences>Audio>Output Config, I only see "1 & 2 mono" and "1/2 stereo" . I imagine this is because I don't have the proper soundcard. Which are some soundcards that would do the trick?

  • @LATRONNIK are you sure?!?!?!?!?

  • @G3ra300 but i actually do and face the same problem

  • What if dont have a "audio Interface W/ Multiple outputs" i can't activate "Cue" Mode ??

  • @Curbst0mped you need an audio interface with 2 stereo outputs to get (1/2 + 3/4).

  • @lEGATENIOS some dubstep songs have 90 bpm as well :d

  • @LightWillIgniteUsAll u can do that by mixing Hip Hop thats is about on 80-90 To Drum And Bass that is double Speed 160-180 good luck :D

  • I only have 1 / 2 as options to select in my preferences, how do i get 3/4?
