Here’s another video showing extreme Ableton Live warp point techniques in loops, as well as how to work with sample offset envelopes. This last one is sometimes a technique that is not that well understood, or used.

Here’s a video showing basic techniques with loops and loop envelopes in Ableton Live.There’s a part two arriving soon, showing more esoteric ways to manipulate the loops, too.

In case things happen too fast in the video, I’m using command-B to switch between paint mode and linear editing mode in the envelope window.

PS: The reverb in the voice track was an experiment. Alas, I will not use that in future :-).

Here’s a video I uploaded to YouTube showing how I usually warp dance tracks in Ableton Live. There are many ways how to do basic warping, but this is how I usually do it with tracks that have a fixed and easy-to-warp beat.And remember, the arrow keys are your friends when moving around with a loop point in Live.
