To verify this, note that a warped sample's speed follows the tempo as you change the
Control Bar's Tempo control.
Live offers a number of controls to adjust the time-warping engine for optimal stretching
quality. For accurate warping, Live needs to know the sample's metrical structure. For
properly prepared loops, tempo and duration are calculated automatically; most of the time
this is accurate enough that the sample is immediately ready for use in Live. For other
samples, you may have to provide some hints. We will examine these topics thoroughly in
the Tempo Control and Warping chapter.

Zooming and scrolling in the Sample Display work much like they do in the Arrangement
View. Using the zoom/scroll area in the top half of the waveform, you can click and drag
vertically to smoothly change the zoom level, and horizontally to scroll the display.
