Hi.
noob here :)
i try to export my tracks to HD and then drag to ableton. ( i use track mute to save separate tracks to hard disk...)
but when i drag them to audio channel i have some problems.
1 the tempo in mpc sourse is 114 in ableton 114 but in the sample editor seg. BPM is 114.66 or slightly difrent evry track(that i imported from same bpm beat...)

2 if i saveto HD the same file again the timing is difrent evry time' and its noticeable.

3 the file start point can be draged back is it ok ?

im confused plz help :?:
thnx ahead.

Not sure on abelton but if it were me i would, solo each track to abelton and set the bpm in abelton to the one you want. Record like 32 bars eack track. Then just chop it to what you need. Like 16 bar drum loop, then paste it out. Or, take each track in the mpc,make eack track its own sequence. Then convert each sequence to a wav. Drag the wavs to abelton. If you dont know how to tempo map option b is better, just name each sequence so its east to know what wav is what. The timing will be perfect that wav.

your problem is that Ableton 'warps' your tracks and tries to guess the tempo
I would turn 'warp' off for every imported clip (doubleclick the audio, bottom left there is a 'warp' button)
they all have the same tempo anyway on MPC, so just fill in that tempo in Ableton (in the top left)

Or in Ableton's preferences disblae 'automatically warp long samples'
