Ableton/Live/UG/03 Live Concepts/09 Audio Clips and Samples
- An audio clip points to a sample (sound file), or a compressed one such as an MP3, and says which part to play and how.
- Dragging a sample in from the browser creates a clip. The headphones toggle previews a sample when you select it.
- Clip View settings, opened by double-clicking a clip, change playback in real time without altering the file.
- Warping changes playback speed independently of pitch to match the song tempo. Auto-Warp lines up most material with the tempo, and extreme settings can change a sound's character.
