The way I do it, is i stretch every 4 bars to match the the tempo, before I slice. But I'm not 100% if this is the best method. Let me know what you encounter bro.

And nice house of cards sig :jawalrus:

I've realized I've gotten in such a habit of cutting a exact 4 bar loop, and then auto slicing it into 16 chops so it's always on tempo.

But then I feel like this may be limiting what I can get out of a sample, or being to generic.

And does everyone stretch there samples to fit the desired tempo?

I do it this way sometimes, depends on the sample. More lately though, I don't chop like that, I'll chop samples free hand, set it to ADSR playback, duplicate to the next pad, do another chop and keep finding manual chop points manually, and you can audition the chop by just hitting the pads as you go along. Usually this gets me to do more unusual chops and I usually come up with more interesting types of chops. I'll never time stretch before, but after I get a pattern, I'll tap out the right tempo then I might time stretch the actual chopped pattern. I like how you could get real creative chopping with maschine, love that work flow.

I just feel the way I'm doing them, is to generic.

I love the groups in this thing. beats the brakes off reason and logic for drum processing. I can never go back to having separate tracks for kick snares hats etc...

Still don't know shyt about time stretching Smh
It's pretty automatic If you count your bars when sampling. Go to the edit screen after u made some tight chops u should see your tempo there. Now do you want to stretch it faster or slower you decide. Go to edit stretch. Change the tempo in the stretch options to whatever you want to make your beat then hit stretch. You can always undo it. Timestretch is great for getting tracks to have a new feel.

So its basically slowing or speeding up the chop u want?

Doesnt this damage the sample then?

Depends on how extreme the stretch is, if it's not too extreme the technology is pretty good, you won't be able to hear anything change except the tempo.

As for the other breh who asked if you could stretch a 2 bar loop to 4 bars, you could do that, even though I think it's more common to stretch a 2 bar loop at say 105 bpm to a 2 bar loop at a different bpm, 90 for example.
