1.


Set Live's tempo to match the audio clip's. Insert a MIDI clip on an adjacent track with a note at C3 extending the full length of the clip.

2.


Insert locators in the arrangement at the desired audio slice points.

3.


Split the audio and MIDI clips at each locator. Do not consolidate the slices.

4.


Drag each audio slice to its own Impulse slot.

5.


Consolidate each MIDI slice. Nudge the note in each slice (except the first) twice to the right and once to the left to separate the notes.

6.


Consolidate the MIDI slices into a single MIDI clip and rearrange their pitches to taste.
