The Control Bar’s Tempo Field.
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 qual-
ity (page 129). 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 Audio Clips,
Tempo, and Warping chapter (page 117).
8.2.2 Sample Loop/Region and Display
Zooming and Scrolling
The Clip Zoom/Scroll Area.
Zooming and scrolling in the Sample Display work much like they do in the Arrangement View.
When Warp is disabled, zooming and scrolling can be done anywhere in the Sample Display.
When Warp is enabled, however, scrolling only happens in the beat-time ruler and the bottom
half of the waveform.
