The original file is excelent, it just gets beyond 0 db when I change its BPM

ok sounds very odd if im honest might have to see if warping within ableton does that naturally for myself as its a feature im not familiar with but it does seam like a strange behaviour

Its happening with all files. The bigger the BPM difference the most distortion. Also its a MP3 track, lossless files seem to distort much less when changing bpms

just processed a 120bpm 2bar loop stretched it into a 12bar so effectively changing the tempo from 120 to 20bpm and it doesnt effect its output volume in anyway at all
