DJ Homewrecker - Indian Burn (Original Mix) - Look At You Records

Details:
We are very pleased to drop some serious Chicago heat on you in the form of Dj Homewrecker's 'Indian Burn'. As most of you will remember DJ Homewrecker added his golden touch to Armbar's 'You Will Never Know Me' a few months back. Now we have an original project that is eclectic, unique and most of all...fabulously fun!

Ableton Live: Complex Warp




Attention DJs (or anyone warping long audio or entire songs): Turn on "Complex" warping.

Sometimes I notice a tiny stutter when warping long pieces in the "Beats" mode. It sounds like the program is trying to re-correct the warp on every 16th note. Switching to "Complex" mode removes this problem.

Tip: Record MIDI at Lower Tempos




Perhaps everyone already knows this tip, but just in case ...

When recording a complex or fast MIDI part, record at a slower tempo (e.g. 100bpm for a 130bpm track). This is a great way to get that human groove/feel with parts that are hard to play in real time.

Ableton Live 7 Slice to Midi for Drum re-edits





Here's an example of chopping a loop into MIDI notes for re-edits. The whole secret is in the "Slice to MIDI track" right-click.



You can make your slices fit to the grid, but I like to place warp markers on each hit, then slice according to warp markers.
