Can Ableton and Traktor use the same song library - warping beatgrid saves Posted on: 23.07.2012 by Frieda Swoboda I have always used Ableton but starting to mess around with Traktor because it seems a little better for impromptu mixing.My question is, I have my folder with all my songs warped in Ableton and I don't want to point Traktor towards it because it seems to do some automatic stuff reading the files when it boots up. I don't want it to ruin my Ableton warped songs. So I duplicated my song folders, but that seems like a mess. Can I have Traktor and Abelton access the same songs in the same location without either program messing with the warping/beatgrid data. I know Ableton makes a little ASD file for each song, but not sure yet what Traktor does. | |

| Celine Surico 24.07.2012 | Ableton stores the warp info in a separate .asd file. So you will not cause any havoc using the same audio files for Traktor and Ableton Live, or ITunes. Or WinAmp and so on... |
| Frieda Swoboda 24.07.2012 | Thanks, that will help. I'm just curious if I have a track already warped in Abelton, if saving it with Traktror will mess it up. I guess I'll do some trial and error. I know with Mixed in Key, it says to warp the tracks after you do mixed in key, because whatever tags it adds to the MP3/Wav messes up the warping in Ableton. Hopefully they will play nice with each other, I'm not looking forward to having to keep two separate song libraries. |
