Ableton reanalyzing tracks

At the moment I have edit the warps marks of a track, by setting a new start-point (set 1.1.1 here) and used the function “wrap form here straight”. But I like to reanalyzes the track so that Ableton sets the warp-marks for me so I can edit where it is necessary.

I tried to reanalyzes the tracks by clicking the root folder and “Wrap From Here (Start at … BPM)” but that doesn’t seems to work. And there isn’t a *.asd file present in the root folder.

Does anyone know how to reanalyzing the tracks?

There has to be a .asd file, otherwise the track isn’t analyzed at all.

I have restored a backup but it seems that Ableton only puts 1 warp marker on the track

Then it’s probably warped correctly. Tracks always have at least one warp marker.

if you are using windows, it might be considered a hidden file? if thats the case, you need to go folder options and sort that out.

in my system, the asd file is always in the same folder as the warped track. anyway, hope you get it working. gl!

When you “Warp from here straight” Ableton only uses 1 warp marker because you only need one warp marker as the “anchor point”

Why would you need to reanalyze the track? If you’re doing a normal house loop or something that is “four to the floor”, a warp from here straight should be more than adequate, and if not just double click a transient marker to set a warp marker and make your adjustments. Ableton is only gonna use as many warp markers as it needs. If you’re music has tempo changes or is an acapella then obviously you’re going to want to use a different warp mode than just “beats”.

Unless you deleted all the transient makers somehow? Then just re-drop the song into a new clip slot and ableton should just give you a brand new pre-analyzed version.
