instant classic said:yes it is important.. you don't want your sample to be drifting off the beat, because it will sound awkward and out of place. you don't necessarily have to make your beat the same tempo as the sample. I dont know what type of setup you got, but you can easily manipulate the sample to fit the tempo of your beat by stretching the time without changing the pitch. you also want your sample to lay over an even amount of bars if you'll be looping it. Trust me, you'll know if your sample is on beat..
