EDM Production: Are single Tracks (Kickdrum, Rides ...) warped/delayed in ms?

[nyreiter]

Hi,

I am new at EDM producing.

I started with a Sample Construction Kit to get used to this and to learn.

One of the first strange things I recognized was this:

The single Tracks, like Kick and Rides, are a little bit warped.
They start in perfect tact/bar, but then after a few hits, they are moved up a few ms - I did a screenshot:

1) Ride extra verzogen Kopie2.jpg - DirectUpload.net Cloud

2) kick extra verzogen Kopie2.jpg - DirectUpload.net Cloud

as you can see it is really just a little bit, maybe 1,2 or 3 ms.

Now my question: >>> Is this a common stylistic device in this genre, for example to give a track this "PUSH MOVE FORWARD" feeling? or is it my DAW Ableton, which is ****ing with me?! Because I switched warp off and imported the samples several times.. and it's still like this.

thanks in advance!

Not sure which daw you are using. If you have something like flex mode that is in logic pro, enable slicing for drums. Or, just manually chop the loop and correct it.
