  • Realtime time-stretching and sync of all audio files.
  • Deep Resampling and relooping capabilities.

Tips:

  • Loading a new mp3 into live while dj'ing can take some time to render the waveform. To pre calculate this information for an entire folder of files, right-click on the folder in the file browser and choose "Analyse Audio". This will dramatically improve load times
