Saving audio clips from numerous projects to make a sample pack question
I've checked previous posts in here about this and it has been asked and covered but I can't find a clear solution to what trying to do so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my specific situation.
I'm going through old projects and trying to save various parts of them as audio clips into a folder library of all my own sounds. Things like drum loops, basslines, percussion loops etc as well as long recordings from my modular. At first I was dragging the audio clips from each project directly into the folder I created which I put into ableton's browser but that was creating a whole project file for each audio clip. What I want is just a folder of audio files like you find in sample packs, so I tried dragging each clip into arrangement view and exporting it into the folder like you would with a finished track.
Obviously all the clips are of varying tempos and now that I'm going through the folder in a new project when I try and preview or load one of my sounds into a project that has a different tempo to the original clip, most of the sounds are out of time and not warping to the new bpm. I made sure they were all warped when I exported them so I don't understand whats going on. I labelled them all with their original bpm and even some that are the same bpm as the new project i'm putting them into sound all messed up.
Can anyone tell me whats going on here and where I'm going wrong? All I want is my own sample pack that appears and behaves like any other sample pack you would buy where all the samples adjust to the bpm of any other project you drag them into.
Thanks in advance and apologies if I missed an answer to this in other posts.
EDIT: I think I've found the problem - I noticed that the clips that are messed up have the wrong bpm in the warp section of the clip view when I drag them into a new project. For example a 138bpm clip is reading as 92bpm. Changing the clip to the correct original bpm fixes it once it's inside another project. This tells me that it's to do with how ableton reads the files maybe and not an issue with exporting. Still don't know why exactly that's happening though and if there's a way to prevent it. It seems to be happening with samples that have less clear transient information like synth loops with heavy filter modulation that smears the attack time of the notes.
Leaving this here for anyone who may be experiencing similar issues.
