and aligned it with this peak. Above the first Warp Marker are two arrows. The top one represents the loop start position, and the lower one is the playback (launch) start position. Hitting Play, the Clip starts on the beat, but goes out of sync because the tempo settings are wrong, which is what you'd expect at this stage. In this example, I've decided that I want to use the first four bars of the recording as a loop. Listening to the loop and counting out the four bars, I identify the point in the waveform where my loop should end. I now need to tell Live that this point is the downbeat of bar five. Double-clicking the bar five label in the ruler turns bar five into a Warp Marker. By dragging this marker left or right, I can set which point in the waveform is 'pinned' to bar five. In this example, I need to drag it to the right, effectively speeding up the tempo of the Clip between bars one and five. The end marker is still in place, so everything after the bar five marker has to be slowed down to meet the subsequent time points. The final step is to change the loop length to four bars. This can either be done by altering the loop-length number field or by dragging the loop-end marker above the waveform to the bar five position. The bottom screen shows the finished loop, with the correct original tempo of
