Tutorial: How to Warp a Track with Drifting Tempo
In this second warping tutorial, we take a look at warping an older hip-hop track with drifting tempo throughout the song. This warping process can be used to warp songs with live drummers, older hip-hop and r&b, disco, soul and other relatively “difficult” kinds of music with beats that aren’t quantized to a fixed grid.
Understanding the basics of warping full tracks
Ableton Certified Trainer and Dubspot Instructor, Michael Hatsis, a.k.a. !banginclude explains and demonstrates basic and essential warping techniques in Ableton Live in the part one of this three-part video tutorial series exploring creative ways to warp tracks in Live. Using a standard house track with a 4×4 drum pattern, Hatsis shows how to set Live warping preferences, determining and entering an approximate tempo by tapping the tempo Tab along with the song, figuring out the downbeat and set where the track starts, in this case – first kick, transient marker. Stay tuned for part two and three, as Michael Hatsis delves further into Live and offers more creative tips and techniques for warping.

Circuit Abbey goes Gravity and Distortion
The Gravity Well is a wave modifier using asymmetrical wave warping to create interesting new sounds. Think of the signal in orbit around a heavenly body whose gravity is being changed by the CV inputs. One CV varies the gravity field, another pushes it to one side, the third affects the north-south magnitude, and the forth the east-west. The module has one signal input and four CV inputs, all of which have level controls. Each CV channel has a BIAS control for setting initial bias level.
The module works by warping the positive and negative portions of the incoming signal by amounts determined by the CV inputs. The Inclination CV varies both polarities equally. The Eccentricity CV increases the positive warp and decreases the negative warp. The Longitude CV increases the positive warp only, while the Latitude CV increases only the negative warp.
In these videos:
A short demonstration of the Circuit Abbey Gravity Well wavewarper module being used as a CV processor. Various CV sources are run through it and sent to a ULFO that is being used as a VCO. Manual tweaks and adjustments made along the way.
A quick demo using the upcoming Circuit Abbey Gozinta module as a distortion unit!
Rated PG-13 for brief coarse language.
