As someone who is new to Ableton this is much appreciated!!! I've seen so many tutorials on how to warp and its the other ones clearly got it wrong lol thanks bro

Hey Tom, do you use beats when warping all of yours tracks? Also do you ever find that tracks drift slightly even when you set the correct bpm and have the first warp marker on the first beat? I find that quite often i will need to set an additional warp marker near the end of the track in order to account for drift, even for songs purchased on beatport.

This worked for me. Thank you very much!!! The dragging the BPM of the track to match the gridlines did the job.
@williamchisholm35627 жыл бұрын
So much easier than what most people make it out to be. Half of the dj's I know always point this out as a downfall of ableton and how you have to "prepare" a set. This is an advantage in my opinion!

Hey Tom, Really nice video. The only thing is that if I import a track into Ableton it doesn't do the same thing as I see in your video after I warped it. It still follows the global bpm of the session whilst the warped track bpm shows the bpm of the song. If I turn on the click it counts in the tempo of the global bpm. Is there a setting that I have to change?

Hi Tom, I recently purchased your DJ Megaset. I'm new to everything. I clicked the link in the manual for the correct way to warp tracks but it links to this video for Ableton 9 from 10 years ago. Ableton 12 looks quite different now. If you have time to make a new tutorial on how to warp tracks for DJing in Ableton 12 I (and hopefully others) would be very grateful! -W

Tom I tried your methods successfully, apart from one track by Adam Beyer called teach me. It has a massive intro and although you said you use one marker, the beats seem to slide out of time. Please can you help? I have managed to get it working btw but I had to use several markers. I wondered if I had done something wrong to start with.

Aloha Tom Can you help me with a bit of advice. I'm trying to help my mates with one of their bluegrass songs. I want to keep the entire song, but just add beats and maybe add a few FX, without deteriorating the song in its entirety. I wouldn't call this a true remix, but maybe more of a change in the rhythm. To give it a more house vibe

In addition to this tutorial, I find adding a pseudo marker on the very last beat and sliding it to the left until it matches up is a great way to make sure the track doesn't gradually verve off.

Never mind. For some reason when I do that it changes the tempo back to what Ableton thought it was. What the heck?

I don’t think anyone has problems warping electronic music. Set the 1 and it’s done. Warping vinyl tracks is fun because even when it’s electronic music it still drifts. Usually 4-6 warp markers will fix it. But old music is nuts. Even the great studio musicians would play without a metronome and warping requires over 40-70 markers and lots of patience.
@lukasziman8 жыл бұрын
hey, so i dont have a problem with warping the tracks i use, but alot of the tempos that the track sync to is either really high or low (between 80-170) i dont believe thats the original tempo of the song because im mixing rap music, either way it just makes it hard to mix tracks with such a great difference in tempo. any pointers? good vids btw! thanks

Every one seems to warp in different warp modes.. I thought beats mode was just for straight percussion.. And rep itch was best for whole tunes.... But Tom is using beats mode!?!? So difficult ascertain which mode is best for preparing tunes to DJ
@djmattblack10 жыл бұрын
This is useful but one thing i find with some tracks is that when Ableton warps them automatically you tend to get loads of little warp markers throughout the track so you end up having to move them around to get the timing right but of course when you do that you knock out the timing off all the others, i find this particularly happens on vocal accapellas and ambient intros
@TeadsTV10 жыл бұрын
Go into preferences and turn off auto warp function. This way it wont warp the track when you drop it in Ableton. Then you click on the track and hit warp button and go from there so you don't have to mess with all those other markers.
