In this video from Berklee Online’s Ableton Live Fundamentals course, author Erin Barra shows you how to get different sounds and textures by using the Warp tool in Ableton Live. Once a file has been warped, you can freely adjust the session’s timing, and it will stay in sync with the BPM. The segment BPM box approximates the BPM between any two warp markers and may change often, depending on what part of the warping process you’re in. Erin showcases this by taking a guitar track and exploring the creative parameters inside the texture algorithm. She reduces the fidelity of the track and adjusts the flux, and you’ll hear how that continues to warp the sound of the original track. This type of warping works well in extremes: the more you adjust the parameters, the more creative results you’ll hear.
