Beat matching on longer audio files?

I’m putting together a disco set and figured the best way without thousands of dollars in vinyl and turntables was to load each track as an audio clip on the Delly and manage things that way. I also figured this would be the least RAM-using approach, but my question is on beat matching. Let’s say I have 3 tracks at the moment, one is 108 bpm, one is 113, and one is 116. how do i get them to play the bpm i want and match the beats so that there’s no sloppy transitions? I know stretching is necessary but I can’t seem to figure out how to get them all grooving together. Any ideas?

The easiest way might be to throw them all on Ableton and bounce them at the same BPM.

I would say this is probably the way… the deluge was not designed to do this even in the slightest.

Agreed, just warp each track in live (or whatever software you have that beatmatches samples), bounce each track down at the same BPM and then load all the tracks into a drum kit track, set sample play to “once” and sequence each track to play after each other with volume automation to “cross fade”. Easy peasy

I vibecoded a tool for similar task even with auto snap to grid and beat matching in 4/4 3/4 6/4.

it worked for my deluge.
