Anyone know if Ableton or any other software company has this capability?

[Performance]

Perhaps I am in the minority, but I perform old-school, long-play sets live (I don't program the mix) and just burn the files to WAV on a USB stick.

That's how I approach making sets when inspired by amazing tracks to promote my sound. I listen, pick fast, and get the sound I like.

With that said, is there a way for Ableton or any software to warp and correct errors in warping long tracks when promoting a set?

I find it incredibly tedious to manually mark and correct every track. Is there an automatic solution, perhaps something using AI that I'm not aware of?

When mixing, I need to "feel" the flow. It's frustrating when something sounds amazing, and then a millisecond of bad warping ruins the whole project and the artistic vibe. It feels like I'm doing tech support!

Any ideas? Is there a way to replicate the method CDs are read by CD turntables? I've only had a couple of missed warp issues in my career. Is that proprietary technology? If so, does anyone know if Technics/Panasonic have something to mimic the actual reading method, as that would eliminate the warping issue?

By no means do I diminish the love and craft DJs put into their sets; I applaud them for that. However, that's not my approach. Considering the abundance of YouTube videos on warping, perhaps this could get more technical attention. Some of us just want to mix and let the music flow.

Thanks for reading.
