Dubspot Ableton Live Tutorial - How to Warp for Remixing w/ Laura Escudé

haha thanks, I didn't know about tapping session view and it was driving me nuts. Always used an external metronome to tap... ;D

Great tutorial, just used this myself. Gotta love all the enthusiasm from Escude: "now...the remixing fun can start". 

Thank you, oh god, thank you.  trying to do a cover song to fit to this.  I couldn't find anything, till i typed making a song fit with an acapella.... even though it's recorded to vocals.

you saved me a shit ton of time, thanks.

Thank u very much xD

yay help!

Laura...Yours is one of the best tutorials on this subject...I'm wondering if you can give me some specific information:
I have a song with a narration for an intro with background music at a slow tempo...When the pickup into the song occurs...the first beat does not fall on 'one' !

How do I warp this ?

Thank you...I'm former Beach Boys band member.

John Renner
Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Aretha, etc. 

where did the 6 stems come from? Is that a select sound pack or recorded audio?

What if i dont have the original track ? (great tutorial btw)

Like a boos!! She said get to remixing lol

I'm using the Ableton Live that came with my APC40, I only see warp modes : Beats, tones, textures, re-pitch . Is the complex pro only in full version?

How did you get it so the different tracks in the song, like the vocals and drums were separate? Can you split them in ableton or do you have to get them from somewhere else?

If we can make video requests, here's mine: Can you make a video outlining the steps to warping really old tracks that aren't, more or less, pre-quantized like this Metric track? I'd be great to learn the most efficient way to warp tracks for editing/using in sets, etc that aren't already easy for Ableton to figure out. Thanks.

Hard Drive: "Big Daddy"

i was the exact same, great tutorial!

This helped me alot! Thank you so much! :)

omg thank you.

why didn't I know you in High School when my counselor sent me to the best music college and they asked me on the first day, "What is an MPC 60?"

Awesome tutorial and nice demo at the end. Thank you for sharing.

I suppose you mean taking a 118BPM song and making it into a 128BPM song? Basically, do first all she says, and then change track tempo :) . Don't change track tempo right from the start. Basically, Ableton first needs to know what tempo the audio is. So this entire video is about figuring out what tempo the stems are and syncing them correctly to the bars so they're in sync with the metronome. Once that's done for all stems, you can change track tempo and Ableton does the rest.

Great Video !! what if i want to change the tempo of the song from 118 to 128 ? wat do i do then is it the same thing

I would like to know how to get stems from other artists that are not available through the web.

Press Tab I believe.

Great tutorial! Please could you help on a question about remixing though. How would I go about making stems of a track for a remix of my own choice? Thank you

nice tuttoirial guy's#

Thank you SO much for posting this! This was EXACTLY what I needed to help me over my beatmatching problem, and you presented it WONDERFULLY, both visually and aurally. Thanks so much for producing such a crisp, helpful tutorial.

Amazing video. Laid out very simply with detailed instructions. These tips have already saved me hours of trying to manually warp bar by bar.

>Volumes/Big Daddy/ Why did that make me laugh so much?

how to tap if you dont have a MIDI? is the computer keyboard helpful?

Awesome tutorial. How'd you manage to get the Help I'm Alive tracks? I've been looking for the acapella for a remix for ages...

Couldn't give this tutorial enough thumbs up, this is what I've been looking to find out for awhile now.

Nice tutorial. Thank you.

one thing i didnt understand is when do you put down warp markers and why?

because if you're going to learn how to produce music, you might as well know how different techniques, kinda lazy otherwise, you might learn something by actually applying this knowledge as well.

finally!!! thanks alot

itd be cool if this actually worked.

Anyone wanna explain how to make them sound correct when you want to change the tempo? Like, going from 140 to 128?

I dont see why not

where do you get/find all the sample sounds you were playing with at the end?

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

Can't you just use an accapella and not use stems? and if so can you still warp an accapella like you warped this??

Its a matter of time till its possible ;)

I'm stuck towards the end... Underneath "Warp" there is just a blank area, I don't have the choice to change it to Master?... Any ideas?... Also, it doesn't show me the audio itself, besides when I click on one of the tracks and it comes up along the bottom, not in the main window with all the separate audio waves?...

How would you approach warping a song that has a 2 16th note snare hit lead-in before the first downbeat??

@vetten123 you should do a remix of one of my songs. Negative-Earth

The words your using are not helpful to noobies just incase you didn't know... when you talk to a noob you need to be at the bare minimum to the top in tutorials

why go thru that trouble when you can just use a bpm reading program(mix meister bpm analyzer) or traktor if you have it.

does anyone have the acapella for this???

@Sincrol no its not lol

can we tap the tempo and compress it like in the video with only the acapella of the song and not the original one?

Great Video! I have a quick question. I downloaded a track for remixing with stems from the site that was mentioned. I'm using Ableton Live 8.2.6 The problem is the stems (bass, pad, lead etc.) are not the same length as the full track as it is shown on this video. They are only short clips. Must I lengthen the clips to the same length of the full track? Is there a way to have the clips correspond to the same bars that they appear in the full track? Help!
