    Default Warp then Export ... Ableton

    Hi all,

    Once I've fixed a drifting track in ableton what option do i use to then export a permenantly changed version of this now perfect time track ready for Traktor Beat Grids?

    Cheers

    In the file menu i believe you want export audio / video....

    First you'll need to place you now warped track into arrangement view, just a matter of grabbing it from session and moving it across...

    The you highlight the track and select export, it'll give you options on the quality etc. i tend to just use what it recommends....

    Cheers

    No worries, it took me ages to find it once they'd changed the menu item between 6 and 7!

    Still change is good......

    if you warp an mp3 and export it as mp3 again, will this be effectively transcoding the file, therefore reducing the quality yet again?

    does anyone know the answer to this .... is it going to be re-encoding an already encoded mp3 so even more of a lossy file by fixing in ableton ?

    I dont know the answer but I dont see how you would NOT be loosing quality (due to the reasons stated above).

    However, why not just export as WAV then encode to .flac?

    I use http://www.bonkenc.org/

    EXCELLENT little free app (which reminds me...I need to donate)


    What Im wondering about is "normalizing". I find myself having to do this when I export as wav or the analyze job does not really work properly (at least the was it is displayed in traktor).

    Anybody else experience this?

    The difference will be negligable
