2. you might have chopped wrong. you might think you have a 1 bar chop, but in reality it might be 1 and a half, or 1 bar and 1 beat. it might be a little longer than you thought, so when you time stretch it to 1 bar, you are condensing more than 1 bar of music to play as if it is 1 bar, this will speed it up. the best way to find out if you chopped too much/have a little extra is to put drums out over it and see if they line up right and it sounds like it should.

this shit will be my downfall

u said the beat count in the sample is how much i nod my head

i cant nod my head to this shiitt ahh
