well the main thing you have to keep in mind if you're mixing in Live it to set the warp mode for the tracks to either Complex or Repitch.
Repitch is best since it doesn't degrade the quality or introduce any artifacts, but it works just a like a record player so if you speed a tune up or slow it done too much from it's original tempo it will sound pitched too low or too high.
Complex mode will keep the pitch as it was in the original regardless of what the tempo is, but it does tend to make the sound a bit soft and "digital" although it shouldn't introduce any real glitchy artifacts like you might get at the other modes (beats or tones)

But does the demo version of Live feature those algorithms?

the demo version should be exactly the same as the normal version, it's just time limited.
I think even the Lite version has all the warping algorithms.

That's what it said on the website at least, everything should be in there.

Thanks for the hints, KoS, I'll check out that Complex/Repitch thingy.

It was a lot easier than I thought: With a single click, I changed the Warp Mode from Beats (the default option) to Re-Pitch for all tracks except "There Is A Party", which I set to Complex warping because Senor BoBo sounded much too squeaky, instead of boyishly cheesy.

Btw, I find your assessment that Complex mode makes a track sound "digital" and soft very appropriate. But then, Eurodance MP3s aren't exactly the most valuable source material to begin with...

Thanks again for the explanations and pointing me in the right direction, KoS! Would you mind giving it another listen?
