» Ableton, BPM & chopping up tracks for loops

[sproggy]

Hang on. I think the bastards might have inserted 2 extra bars in somewhere.

But it that was true, they must have dropped them back in later, or my Sample Display wouldn't have matched up even close.

I might have sussed it, but I'm still pretty confused. Counting without losing track is not one of my strenghts.

Is it commonplace for dance tracks to have 2 bars extra dropped in and out here and there?

Well I seem to be getting the end result I want, at last. Albeit via a method I don't really understand. I can move the Loop Region around and I get tidy loops, pretty much spot on the beats.

Have saved the session and will return to it another time. I've had enough head stretching concentration for one night.

One hour I've spent on that, I knew what I wanted b4 I started. If only I'd sussed how to get it from the outset, I could have cut out all my loops already, and not lost the inspiration.

I guess I'm very much still on the learning curve. I just wish I was much further down that path. I get inspiration all the time, but I put off going for it because it usually turns to frustration when I knuckle down to working on something.

I will rephrase what i meant because you didnt understand - you need to check your starting pointing of each clip if you change ANYTHING. There is no logic to it, tis just fact. Of course this can lead to nice accidents. U could of course upgrade for a laugh
