ableton: loop a sample+slowly increase its tempo over time

[edzillion]

hey I am pretty much a noob at this so bear with me

I have an (analog) tune that ends with a bar or two of just the beat, I have looped that beat grand to give me a cushion to mix something in with it, but I need to bring it up to the tempo I need. I have tried increasing the temp of each repeated sample as it goes along but that is messy and doesn't sound great. I presume it is something to do with freezing the whole bunch of sample blocks and then increasing the pitch of the one block over time, but I don't know how.

Cheers. and please be verbose. I'll need it.

if it's at the end of the track (as i can assume) wouldn't you be safe by automating the master tempo to suit the tempo you need????

see I am using ableton to make a mixtape. I am using the arrangmenet view and just dumping tracks down and cutting them up. its all non-digital music which means no warping, no snap-to-time and no overall track tempo.

so for this example I have two tracks (of a very similar bpm) and I have cut the last 2 bars from the firs track and repeated them, I just want to be able to increase the tempo of that track over time so that it will come up to the bpm of the track I want to mix it into? you dig?

I dont think you can do that without warping.

You could try to automate the Master Tempo in Arrange and see if that works. Not sure.

I'm not sure I understand this statement....

If it's on your computer and in ableton then it is digital and should be able to be warped.

With Ableton you want to make sure that you warp everything up every time you bring any song or sample anything or else it will not sync with the rest of the tracks.. Also like suggested before you can try to increase the tempo for the mix or track which you can automate on the master channel.
