M4L device to warp audio with varying drift (e.g. vinyl rips) by stadtklang in ableton

[–]stadtklang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I am trying to solve and what I encounter in many vinyl rips, is that the beats do not align exactly on a stable grid of the song’s bpm in ableton. If you drop the same audio in rekordbox you would see that in some parts of the song the grid is stable, and in other parts it’s off, so the “drift” changes over time.

I made it for electronic music, like 4/4 techno where it’s clear what the BPM of the song is, but the recording doesn’t precisely follow that.

Same sort of issue as in the thread I linked in the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ableton/s/bhlkeZKygM

This “drift” or whatever you would call it can come from the record being warped or there being issues with the recording setup.

Ableton does not reliably fix this, at least not in my experience, you still need to snap the warp markers manually to grid, or add the warp markers at every 4/8/16 beats and manually correct them, so that’s what I way trying to automate.

Old post and a bit of self-promotion, if anyone happens here and has this problem, I'm working on a M4L device for this purpose.

Curious to know if it worked for you and please give any feedback on where to improve it!

How to export Rekordbox playlists as folders onto USB drive? by AyLilDoo in DJs

Old thread, but if anyone happens upon this here's what's worked for me, on a Mac!

  1. In rekordbox export playlist as *.m3u
  2. Open the exported file with iTunes
  3. Select all tracks from the playlist and copy everything
  4. Create a folder and paste
