Hello everyone,
This is my first post after introducing myself (My name is Huma)
I've been following Ean's vids and blogs for a while and have no decided to come to the forum as it seems very educational.
Any way back to the point of this thread:
I used to be a Serato guy and was very happy spinning on control vinyl playing a wide variety of music including old stuff. To mix the older music I used to ride the pitch which required constant monitoring unfortunately last year in December my ears developed tinnitus but I still want to dj. So to reduce the monitoring I started using Traktor which offers the sync feature. This only works for newer music and not so much the older stuff which has live drumming.
After searching this forum, watching several Abelton videos and Ean mentioning that it's possible to correct timing in one of his videos, I realize that I can use Ableton to 'warp' older songs and give them a constant timing structure which can then be beat gridded in Traktor. Is this true as some songs have drastic changes in bpm or is there another process involved? Could anyone point out a tutorial?
If it is true can this be achieved by using Ableton Intro as I don't fancy paying 349 euros for Live 8 just for this process. If not is there any alternative software to achieving constant timing.
Finally by doing this 'warping' process will there be any degradation in sound quality?
By the way I apologize for asking this question if it has been covered before but a search on this forum only reveals a small insight into this process and a Google search mainly reveals paid for services which when calculated works out to be very expensive.
Thank you for taking your time to read my rather long post.
Huma
