126 Audio Clips, Tempo, and Warping
Auto-Warp’s Results in the Clip View.
As long as Auto-Warp made the correct set of informed guesses, the clip will be ready to play
in perfect sync with the Live Set’s tempo. However, if Auto-Warp does not quite do what you
want, you can control its results. The remainder of this section will focus on various ways of guid-
ing Live’s auto-warping. Remember that the metronome in the Control Bar will probably come in
handy as you warp longer pieces.
The Metronome Switch.
It might happen that Auto-Warp guesses the tempo correctly but gets the downbeat wrong. To
remedy this, you can do one of the following:
•Hold the [Shift] key while dragging the first Warp Marker. This will allow you to adjust the
position of the waveform under the Warp Marker.
•Zoom in and create a Warp Marker on the downbeat. Then drag it to the beginning of bar
1 in the timeline;
•Use the start marker’s [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu to select the Set
1.1.1 Here command.
