ABLETON SEGMENT 1: Warp your tracks correctly. You are doing it wrong.

[@ufopiloot7553]

Amazing! The BEST tutorial out there on warping full tracks in Ableton to prepare a DJ set.

[@andrewswift2683]

Very helpful to someone just getting started!

[@waffleassembly6779]

Thank's for providing simple info that doesn't come up in a damn google search

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

It really should be there on a Google search. XD

[@sajjanrajvaidya]

Does this still happen with Live 11?

[@JimmyLeeWolff]

+1sub.. i was looking for this for about 10 years........!!!! THANKS!!!!

[@EdsMusic]

the best one ever, i was always wrong! this is a bug they should fix

[@Endofanalog]

This one is complety sick man! I've always struggled warping precisely with no loss ! Thaaaanks!!!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Thank u!

[@selectionbias]

Gods work man, been struggling with this

[@franciscomaffei]

amazing! this will save me a lot of time. Just a small detail, after playing hours of loops and songs I realized ableton loses the grid of clips without the warp marker. Just to be safe I would add warp markers in the end of songs too, not to stretch anything just as a "guide" so that ableton won't fuck up in a long set.

[@adamwatson9056]

Thank you!!!! I've been trying to figure out how to fix this but couldn't. Now my mixes sound great!!!

[@nickvledder]

Finally an approach that worked for me so far in Ableton 11. Thx!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

U are very welcome!

[@draaht]

Wtf, Ableton! Thanks mate, that should save me a ton of headaches😅

[@jonberger8834]

Well done drives me absolutely nuts this I thought it was because of the audio quality itself

[@OREMETOSMusic]

This just helped me fix something I’ve been struggling with for years 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@corruptillusionist]

holy crap dude... cant thank you enough... this is a lifesaver trick...

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

I'm happy to help!! 🙏

[@zpurpz]

So ive done this but thought it was too good to be true in the past. Why ? Because I assumed (and it still appears to be the case) the warp would now happen twice. Without verification, I completely omitted this method of 'double' warping in fear that I might have introduced double the artifacts. Thanks for sharing either way ! Subscribed!!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

🙏Thank u

[@spoony303]

I literally can't thank you enough for making this video. 🙏

[@spoony303]

This method works great, but I've found that I need to play each track at it's original BPM exactly, or the kick seems to drag or push ahead on playback. I'm using MP3 source files from Beatport. Do you think AIFF or WAV files would not have this issue? Thanks again.

[@habichiblah7534]

A fantastic cure!! Man, I wish I'd known about this.

[@BappinProductions]

Very late to the party, but this was very helpful . Niceone dude!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Aweeh

[@anythingbox]

In your examples, I noticed that you are using Re-Pitch as the warp type. Can you do this with other warp modes? Or do you find that this is the best period? I'm curious because you do not mention this in the video.

[@patriciotron1392]

Hey man I should've added that you are right. I set repitch as default because for DJing tracks its the least destructive imo. Altho it changes the pitch it doesn't slice it like beats etc...

[@anythingbox]

@@patriciotron1392 Thank you for clarifying! I used your method and got some great results!

[@Skanoh]

Sweet!! Never imagined it could be this simple.. The force is strong with you 🤟👽

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Hehehe welcome to the dark Side 😄

[@jameswest360]

fantastic way faster than other method.

[@djcj]

Epic. Thank you!

[@forsale313]

Woow thank you verrryyy much. New to Abelton and this is one more reason to use it more.

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Super easy to warp like this

[@dragotamusic]

Dude you are a legend !

[@Hassan_Omer]

Thank you for this informative video, i am trying this to warp my live acoustic drum tracks. They were all syncd with the project tempo then I removed their warp and turn the warp back again and use the technique you have mentioned. The initial few bars are in tempo but they keep misaligning as they progress.

[@jaxell300]

i just still don´t get if there is an option like in Fl where you can just say stretch the sample perfectly to 8 bars and it will do that... In ableton i havn´t found an option like that sadly and I don´t know why they make it so compliated..

[@StephenAndrichuk]

Thank you so much! But still dont understand why we have to type in the wrong bpm before the correct bpm. Is it a glitch?

[@StuffOffYouStuff]

Thanks for the tips

[@DJBre]

Very neat!! 🤗

[@phoenelai]

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much!

[@itscalledalancehello4709]

So helpful

[@FlowProdOfficial]

Excellent video! More producers need to see this.

Thanks!!! And yes it's so simple this way!

[@goodvibepsyhelp366]

Thank you so much! Awesome tutorial, very informative.

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Thanks to u for the comment & feedback

[@mastersimz9531]

This is the video I've been looking for, thank you so much!

[@Mardial]

thank you so much bro. subbed

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Boom

[@HuFFyB]

Great Video. Absolutely spot on!!!

[@marcellagcher6936]

Tnx for explanation. Nice, simple and good way for electronic made music. Do you see a way like this for 80's songs? The bpm is all over the place in this songs, song I use multiple points. However artefacts do come along and we don't want those. Love to hear your input or see your video about this. Tnx anyway.

[@paulchambers3]

I asked the same, with tracks that drift and are played 'live'. Did you come up with a good workaround, to warp 70's 80's tracks without a steady BPM, easily in Live? :)

[@marcellagcher6936]

@@paulchambers3 I'm not sure if it's a GOOD workaround because it's hard to run this automaticaly. I do this by hand and therefore not for a long time. It's ideal, but a lot of work. More and more I make sure that the DJ software grid is steady at point I want to mix in or out.

[@Tony-kc5fi]

For warping older tracks with slight tempo changes this video shows you the best to do it..unfortunately there is no one click fix. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYSmZWB_pNiEd80

[@valance99]

Wow, such a time saver. Thank you

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

U R welcome 😊🙏

[@sitback7817]

Excellent video, thank you

[@metalfacemartinez]

Writing this down to remember: set a warp marker at the start of a beat, right click on it and select warp from here - straight, delete the original warp marker, change the tempo to a slightly different tempo and then back to the tempo you want. Ableton will then arrange the track better

[@AdamGoodlet]

That's just great - thanks man!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

🙏

[@Qui2B]

Great, thank you so much man! Can this technique work on a vocal track (i'll try this out :) ) I'm wondering if you have an easy way to warp a vocal track. Again, thank you so much!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Just be sure to get the right warping point to sync and know the real bpm of the vocal track .. and yes you can totally use this technique

[@cdub50]

What is the fastest way to warp when the track your working on has a diff BPM than your sample say track is 150 BPM but the sample you wan to try and use is say 128 BPM

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Same way! Just make sure the warping point is set in the right position

[@Kpophansba]

thx alot do i have to warp acapella too if making remix. How it goes? Can you please tell me.

[@djbeachkng8931]

time saver, thanks!

[@nakkadelic4486]

Tron Maestro, I had a doubt, to export this song warped wich ones is the best quality, it will be in the same as the original track unwraped? I ask that `cause this is very usefull for DJS avoid troubles mixing some times. Make things easier a lot!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Generally this is only for playing out the clips , to record it say on a set or in any case for this kind of material like full tracks i would use repitch, and the only problem is it is going to warp the pitch of the track a bit for every bpm like 1/6th or something like this depending on your base bpm. I would not process the tracks and bounce before a set because the warping will inherently do some modulation to the wave and a mastered track might need an extra limiter because of the artifacts. I would play the mastered tracks as they are and tempo sync with the cdj`s to avoid the extra artifacts from the warped bounce. ( or on the fly as we seen here with ableton also sounds pretty good!) I hope that was clear!

[@inchaoswetrust]

Excellent 👍🏻

[@mikeperrin2432]

My Ableton doesn't show the Seg. BPM. Is this not an option in Ableton 11?

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Maybe u didnt select the warp marker!

[@svorttsirhc1814]

I'm confused how do you auto detect the bpm on a midi drum?

[@marshaldudley5036]

Hello, and thanks for all this info. . . I wonder if you can tell me why Ableton keeps warping my tracks? I have turned off warp in the preferences, and in the individual track configuration; but each time I record a new track (I'm just recording with a mic and a guitar through a Focusrite USB interface), the "warp" button is lit up yellow, and my tracks are out of sync. I can't get help from the forums because my license type (I'm using Ableton First and trying to learn the basics), doesn't allow access. I could really use a hand. Thanks in advance!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Let me look into this I'll get back to u

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

I must say.. If warp is set to repitch and no bpm changes the difference in sound is negligible. I would set my preferences for warping to repitch and just do the other stuff (beats warp algorythm on beats and so on..) If there is no looping involved on that part then just 'warp off' the clip

[@TheWanderingMoon]

@@HomegrownAudioChannel I appreciate the feedback, however it's not negligible. My tracks are off by as much as a full second. I'll try to mess with some of the settings you talked about, and see if I can get any change out of it.

[@patrick3081]

Brilliant, thank you so much! Subscribed 🎧

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

🙏

[@snake6591]

i have a struggle with tracks that have tempo automation , after the section with the automation the grid is totally out of tempo , any solutions?

[@patriciotron1392]

Yeah that is tricky as... Need to make another couple of warp markers to square the final section again and one for the last beat before the tempo automation so you can get all on grid

[@paulchambers3]

Brilliant Video! Can I ask, how you'd do this, with older 'live' unquantized real drummer tracks, from 60's 70's that wobble and drift? Can the same be done? or would there be a slightly different process? 🙂

[@Tony-kc5fi]

Check this one out for sorting older tracks

can you make more warp vid with acapella

[@timetraveller2045]

thank you so much man!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

My pleasure!!!

[@siriustoons4263]

Does this also apply when we import samples in the mix? Sometimes, the drum loop samples might be in a different BPM than the mix. Will this technique help in that case as well? Cheers!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Definitely works for samples like drum loops etc

[@davo523]

Just had the time to watch this! Thank you so much! This is really really useful... I have a question if I may. What if you’re playing tracks at different BPM? You apply the same technic but typing instead the BPM you want the track to be at? (Like your set is at 145 and the next track is at 143) idk if I made my self clear...

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Yaman on the track details on the left you type the tracks bpm. Don't mind ableton project tempo! And thanks for your feedback 😊🙏 happy to help!

[@davo523]

Thank you so much for taking the time! I’ll try this out 👍🏻 hugs!

[@-Hann]

can anyone say if this has been fixed since this video was posted 3 years ago.. thanks!

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

afaik its still happening. but u try to warp a few tracks and check out yourself! :)

[@djzerot4525]

So let me confirm again what I learnt, Step 1 - Find the first Kick Step 2 - Change any number of the BPM on the bottom BPM there. Step 3 - Change to the actual BPM on the bottom BPM there. Am I correct? Please correct me if I am wrong, Thank You. :)

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Yes it is that simple but make sure you delete the original warp point so there is just the first kick warp point when you ^warp from here straight (between step 1 and 2) Remember to type the bpm not change with the buttons up and down.. Type it with the numbers on the keyboard

[@gabe7987]

Wow thank you

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Booom! U are welcome carnalito

[@michaelsmith-lb6td]

hi does this work in ableton live lite 8?

[@seekersystems]

I'd like to know the bpm before loading into Ableton ? any quick vst's you'd recommend?

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

U can always use a bpm counter like a tap bpm app if ableton doesn't read the bpm correctly

[@signaltouch7413]

thank you

[@kickflip1799]

Great video. Cubase = master race :) Just kidding, Ableton has some neat possibilities :)

Redline to headline

[@kodeinalive6160]

thanks for this but i figured that only works with tracks thats have the same bpm of the project , if i try to use a 150 bpm track on a 152 bpm project the track still goes out of the grid

[@patriciotron1392]

No, it really syncs if the bpm throughout the track is consistent. I got 155bpm sync with 140bpm tracks

[@sourbaileys]

Holy shit this is crazy. How did you discover this???

[@patriciotron1392]

By accident 🤣🤣 like all great things

cool technique but doesn't address warping old records (i know that wasn't purpose of video) If its electronic music cool easy but I would love for you to show how to warp recordings of old vinyl

[@HomegrownAudioChannel]

Yes definitely. This is for modern daw music with precise bpm in place. Also not changing bpm in the middle. I hardly ever warp old vinyl tracks but this is a great point u making thanks a lot for your comment

[@AFROSOULRECORDS]

tried a bunch of times. didn't work. not even close. ( tried it using a current house track)

[@patriciotron1392]

Well, there are a number of reasons why u might be getting it wrong. Track is same BPM all throughout? Are you leaving the original warp point? Are you getting the wrong BPM ? This has worked for hundreds of people so u are probably missing something 😅

[@DaBeatsFreak]

Omfg 😱 It’s like discovering that God is just son of the Devil. 😂😂😂 Seriously dude. U should mail Ableton about this. No wonder I spent billion hours trying to fix this crap in one of my projects.🤯🤯🤯🤯
