I did the tutorial on how to use Warping with ableton live. I’m making a mixtape on Ableton live 7. I’m mixing 10 tracks in the arrangement window. I’m placing warp markers on the first beat then selecting “Warp from here straight”. then I look at the 17th beat. and its a little off, so I correct it and click “Warp from here straight” again. I have to repeat hose steps for every 32 beats. Not only is it time consuming and really annoying, but its still not aligning up properly. I’m mixing two tunes and it sounds “off beat”.
As you can see in this picture. The beats don’t align up at all.

Here’s a zoom in on the warp. you can see its on point where I set the marker then it starts rapidly going on beat right away

do this, then skip rite to the end of the track and move it back in time at the last clear kick,
see if that makes a difference
yes, line up your first , then maybe your 8th / 16th if its not picking up the BPM,
then skip to the end of the track and line up your last beat. this should solve your problem
No sorry this doesn’t help at all. it is still not aligned and my mixes are not sounding good
Are your tracks in mp3 or wav?
If there in mp3 they wont line up right!
Yes they are in MP3. I have to convert the track to WAV before I use warp?
1)What program should i use to convert it, and what quality?
I have cool edit pro and audacity
2)I know there are a couple options, like 44100 and 48000 mhz
3)I already have a project that I’ve been working on for 15 hours, I mixed 7 different mp3 files. Do I have to start all over? or should I just start mixing the WAV files from where I left off ?
Ableton automaticly converts them to wav so this isnt the issue.
if your tracks are recorded from vinyl there would be timing issues and you would have to go through them bit by bit lining them up.
If they are off beat port it should be pretty straight forward.
This is for Ableton 7 (8 is totally different)
drag the start marker (the yellow locator) to the very first beat right click and select warp from here straight.
Go to your last beat and it will probably be out a by no more than half a beat. slide it in to place.
turn the metronome on… top left 2 dots. check if it plays along and in time with your track.
Thanks for your reply. Thats the first thing I tried doing. I watched the whole video on it. Its alwasy still off, I have to fix it every 16 beats.
