Hi Ned, I did the transfer last night and would you believe that Live has a
problem with some of these grooves. It's only about 5% but Live is not
mapping the beats properly. It just means you have to adjust them manually
and they're ok.
In truth you will still hear the cymbals pulsing on the slices with Recycle.
There does not seem to be a way around this.
But Ned, don't forget that once you have the tempo you desire you can simply
export the file out of Live at that tempo.............no slicing. This of
course locks you out of messing with individual slices but I've often done
both. Exported the file and sliced it as well.
Also be aware that even though the Live algorithm is incredible it does have
limitations.  You can really hear artifacts at about 10bpm slower. Speeding
up doesn't seem to matter.
