"lol, Live is absolutely inappropriate for mastering tracks." It might not be the normal choice but there are no reasons why it can't be used.
"Unless you are using unstretched WAVs, your output from live is going to sound degraded." For sure. ANY stretching algorithms will have an effect of the original material. Btw, I used to always turn Warping off in Live unless I was actually warping the track; I assumed that just having warping activated would immediately effect the audio. However, this is not necessary - you can leave warping on without actually putting the audio through the time stretching engine. Live is actually clever enough to only use the stretching engine when necessary. So, unless you are changing the tempo or moving the warp markers, there will be no quality loss even with Warping turned on. Pretty cool really.. PS: I still turn warping off unless I need it :-) Paul London www.punkdisco.co.uk www.punkdisco.co.uk/Music/Wot.mp3 - New annoying track www.myspace.com/punkdisco - Zero content, more pictures
