It hasn't even been a month since i've started sampling. I know slicex is good, the only thing i can't get is making the slice/slices match the tempo of my beat without actually adjusting the tempo of the percussion ins. Ive tried the drum(loop) option and the tim stretch pitch shift and the y dont work as well as dragging and dropiing the sample into the sequencer. And im talking about making loops out of the sample/s. I will keep on messing with it ti'll someone answers this, so u cant say im not doin my research and actually learning from trial and error. im succesful with some song, but some songs im not too fond of :/ TY Heaumane///./,./mv

i know i can flip easy, slow songs, at the moment im trying to flip some fast songs with higher bpm and making them fit to a 90bpm beat.
 
Work smarter not harder. slow the sample down to fit the tempo or speed the tempo up to fit the sample
 
that's not helpful! that's what i do, but i'm sure if i learned a little more i'd be able to make loops.
 
How is that not helpful? If you want to make loops then change the samples tempo to match your beats tempo..
You want somebody to step by step tell you how to loop samples and make beats?

Download Audacity. It's free and you can easily adjust tempo and pitch in it.

it was but Im going to sound like a grumpy old man when I say this.

What is wrong with this generation of producers who can't even hold their own dicks to piss? Do I really need to tell you how to get a sample and drums to play at the same speed? I thought it was common sense. You guys have so many resources out there and then get mad when someone gives u a direct answer without telling you exactly how to do it. You said your sample is too fast and your drums are at the correct tempo what should I do? Hmmm heres a thought CHANGE THE SAMPLES TEMPO! Its not rocket science its kind of a stupid question. Im waiting for a producer to come here and say I have a turntable but I dont have vinyl how can I get some. SMH #facepalm

As crude and as harsh as they may sometimes sound, these people are still going out of their way to try and help you so backtalk isnt the thing you should be doing.. and if your that stuck why dont you buy some sort of self help book to help you or youtube? Im sure they will give you a much more detailed explanation of your problem.
 
just butting in here...

the o.p. heumane or whatever has started like 6 of these threads and quite frankly it gets annoying. Sampling is an art form and most artists dont paint a perfect picture the first time they paint. YOU ABSOLUTLEY MUST STUDY and research and practice if you are ever going to learn anything. That being said, you cant expect everyone to just tell you how to do something that they have spent years researching and practicing....thats like walking in to an artists studio and saying how do i paint a picture.....the problem lies in the fact that this whole new generation of producers( i use that term loosely) don't wanna master their craft they just wanna learn enough to seem cool because they are a "producer".


Do the Knowledge.
 
guilty i have reached out for help,too many times. i guess im trying to see how other people do wat they do. the other reason is that sometimes i think im doin it the hard way wen theres a more simple way to do it, but i do keep in mind that something worth having isnt easy, well sometimes it is. lol. slicex is busting my balls though, i think its only good to sample and slice to make your own melody/loop. in my experience, but ill keep messing with it. as of now im definately sticking to dragging and dropping to the sequencer, i admit i might get lazy at times :/

experimentation is often the best teacher im glad you are learning this. its far easier to keep a beat in time with smaller chops than it is to keep it ontime with larger ones
 
Haha akplay was bein a baby back *****.

and @Xab: You can't just say this generation of beatmakers. I'm 17 and put in my work, its just some(most) people in my generation that are ****tards!! Haha
 
Here is a tip... If you are using a sample and want a loop to match your tempo. Open edison... Open the sample.... highlight the part u want looped...then on the very right of edison is a button with and arrow and circle. Select it drag and drop it in the step sequencer. From there double click the tab in the step sequencer and a box should open with the wav in it.
Then you will see knobs and ish. Make sure ur tempo is at what u want. Then in the box right click time. if its a 4 bar loop select 4 bars. if its 2 bars select 2. try this see how it goes.

yes I can. Theres always an exception to every rule. By this generation I dont really mean age of the person rather than length of experience. There are 17 year olds that started yesterday and 17 year olds that started in 2005 and have 5 years under their belt. 2 totally different generations of producer. They understand how to be resourceful most of these new producers do not.
