Ableton Live Tips #6: Repitch Warp Mode + ReSampling Windchimes

For more info: http://blog.dubspot.com/ableton-tutorials-week-6 In this week's tutorial, Dubspot Instructor and Ableton expert Professor Nalepa gets inspired by a wedding present from Aunt Jade, a set of rainbow butterfly wind chimes. Using the Repitch Warp Mode, he explores how you can take a recording and play it back at 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 speed to get interesting variations of the original recording. He also explains how you can set Locator Points in the Arrangement View and then map them to keys on the typing keyboard or keys/pads on a MIDI controller, giving you the ability to trigger video in live. By setting the video window full screen out on a second monitor, this allows you to use Ableton for dynamic live audiovisual performances.

chimes+wind=no sleep

cool vid!

[repfreedomforce]

Can I add a video track to my music files to be projected as I mix using abelton? I've been using the Hercules MK4 with virtual DJ. It's the only one I know of that has the video out feature, and that's essential to my show.

@eyegore21 Yeah, since it isn't very precise, you can just go to midi map mode and adjust the current tempo as the minimum and the goal tempo as the max and slowly do it so it seems sublte. only way i've been able to do so. while doing changes from faster tempos to slower as breakdowns by renaming scenes with the bpm. Only way I can think off, but is effective. Thanks for the reply.

@The0bserv3r all I can think is grab a midi controller, set a knob to the tempo and go at it, though that seems to change the tempo to abruptly

[The0bserv3r]

Hey Steve, I've been looking everywhere for a way to gradually switch the tempo within session view, but no luck at all (found some, but couldn't make them work), Do you know a way to? It'd be of greaat help!
