rendering to a le with the same bit depth as the original results in complete phase
cancellation.
rendering to a le with a higher bit depth than the original results in complete phase
cancellation.
rendering to a le with a lower bit depth than the original results in the smallest amount
of distortion possible within a 32-bit system.
30.2.2 Matching sample rate/no transposition
Playback of an unstretched audio le in Live is a neutral operation, provided that the le's
sample rate is the same as that set in Live's Preferences and that the le is played back
without transposition. This is veried by cancellation tests of rendered output. Please note
that playback in this context refers only to the audio within Live, prior to the point at which
it reaches your audio hardware.
30.2.3 Unstretched Beats/Tones/Texture/Re-Pitch Warping
If the tempo of a Clip is the same as the tempo of the Set, that clip will play back unstretched.
In this case, if the Warp mode of the Clip is set to Beats, Tones, Texture or Re-Pitch, playback
will be neutral. Any Warping caused by changing the Set's tempo is non-permanent, and
audio that plays back unwarped at a given tempo will always play back unwarped at that
tempo, even if the tempo is changed and then changed back. For example, if you've
recorded some tracks at 120 BPM, but then decide you'd like to slow the tempo down to
record a particularly difcult solo passage, the original tracks will play back neutrally again
after returning the tempo to 120 BPM. Only the recording made at the slower tempo will
be stretched. Please note that grooves work by modifying the positions of Warp markers.
This means that playback of audio clips with groove applied will be non-neutral even at the
original tempo.
The neutrality of unstretched clip playback is veried by performing cancellation tests on
rendered output.
