--> Another short video guide. Some of you are doing this already i bet. This solution is far from ideal but might be useful sometimes.

Ableton Live (v7 and lower) is lousy when it comes to working with grooves. Here's a workaround that might be useful until Live incorporates real groove quantize support.

It involves setting up warp markers and setting a clip to act as tempo 'Master'.

Gotchas:
If you need to change tempo during a track this method isn't suitable.
Be careful that you disable warp on single-hit clips that you place on the timeline.

the thing that amazes me about this, is that my mind is so effing old school sampler/sequncer that it would never occur to me to create a midi groove template of an actual break. I would just putter along painstakingly resequencing drums by hand, none-the-wiser. Obviously, efficiency is not one of my strong suits.
