Hey mate great video. just have a few questions. ive been recording guitar covers with ableton live and this "time warp" thing seems to be making my guitar parts out of sync with the master track when i recorded them in sync. its really annoying... what do i do to fix??

[medwaystudios]

@MrDohmah You might want to try turning warp off completely for those parts. If theyve been played in time correctly they wont need any warping. although usually the only way it would throw them off is if they were in a different tempo from the master but it sounds like that wouldnt be the case.

[MrDohmah]

@medwaystudios MrDohmah ok.. how do you turn off warping completely?? like.. everything... i think i already have but im not entirely sure. but anyway now everytime i open it up its out of sync. how do i fix it?

[medwaystudios]

@MrDohmah It's turned off at the clip level, there's a rectangle button that says Warp you click off. If you want to do it for everything you can select all the parts and then click them all off in one go (this should work as it does for most of the clip functions).

you are so slow its fucking painful, get to the point already

[medwaystudios]

@sesamestreetgang if you dont like it dont watch it, some people prefer a slower pace.

I've looked at six fucking vids on this and no one seems to want to just tell what warping is. Like a description. It seems to be placing some sort of markers at the beginnings of beats, but there's definitely more. So why the fuck not talk about it? Stupid bunch of twats.

@MrDarcyzPP

warping is very basically getting a track in time to the tempo/click of live (beatmaching your track to lives tempo)

i thought that was fairly obvious.
