Warping tracks fast in Ableton Live 8

If you buy a lot of tracks then you can end up spending half your life warping them for your DJ set in Ableton Live. I'd seen a few tutorials on warping in Ableton Live 8 but they seemed overly complicated. So here is a quick way to warp your tracks when you load them.

What if the song fades at the end? Do I stick the end of the track or the last gray box beat ?

@hwy9nightkid I'd loop the last bar (or 4 bars) before it fades so that you can choose how and when to fade the song out.

Its a pain in the ass this ableton warp to be honest. For me it usually fucks up all the time you have to go fixing those markers, and even if it goes slightly out of sinc you defo hear it when mixing in with another track... am i doing something wrong?

[darzhliebek]

@Middollo You dont have to fix the ones it screws up. Generally Ableton will get the bpm about right so just insert a marker at the begining and select 'warp from here (straight) to get rid of all other markers. You'll have to do a little fine tuning about 16 bars in but after that it should be easy to use the method above
