As you can see from the image, Ableton thinks The Rolling Stones "Lets spend the night together" is 135BPM.

Any suggestions?

Tnanx.

The warp function is only effective when its used for tracks that were recorded with midi time accuracy, so the rolling stones would not be warped properly becouse it was timed to a human drummer, its best used with dance music, dnb, hip-hop etc... also be sure to have it set to complex mode when importing full tracks
