The other issue is that various Ableton Live users have a different idea where to put fixed warp markings, exactly on the transient, or just before/after. If someone is using the same methology, it will work, but mixing various .asd files with different styles might cause flamming.

But yes, the pain, I was warping Prince’s Kiss last night. I assumed it had a steady beat due to the drum machine used, but boy I was wrong, the swing factor is huge on that track. Took over 40 minutes to warp the special seven-minute edition.

I need to check soulwax. Just now I’m open for very eclectic dance DJ:ing, from sixties dance music up to today.

Thanks for the post.

This is something close to my heart. I am warping a lot of irregular unquantized stuff played on instruments. I must admit I felt a bit cheeky when I was aligning John Bohnam – When the Levee Breaks.

What would be really good is a central repositary for .asd files of tracks. As we are all probably spending a lot of time warping the same tracks. Surely these could be made publicly available as it is not copyrighted.

Have you heard much soulwax? I like what they do mixing all types of music. Also because of the ecletic nature of the mixes lots of interesting transistions. I (mainly house and progressive house) am being forced to be have a more varied set.

My current project is, I have asked my g/f for her top 15-20 songs, anything goes. It is really interesting and even though I dont really like most of the music it is great that I am playing and mixing stuff I never would normally.

I will pass a copy on if you like when it is completed.

Thanks again for your post.
