Time Stretching Loops...

You trained musicians do the same shit! Cover songs for example. How many versions of "Total Eclipse of Th Heart" is there? Or how many versions of "Ain't No Sunshine"? Or "Long Time Coming"? I could go on! Not to mention the whole "4 Chords" shit where basically every pop song from the last 40 years has basically the same chord melody! At least us samplers flip it and make it our own! Get off your high horse!

This should be a standard feature +1

wow alien_brain is ridiculous. a lot of mpcs timestretch. and a lot of sampled music is used to make entirely new beats, rhythms, harmonies, and melodies, etc (all the things that comprise any kind of music).

Music that doesnt resemble its original source, has new melodies, new rhythms, and produces a different feeling — is hardly the same work as that of one of the sampled artists.

timestretching is used to be able to manipulate sounds from different sources so they can fit with each other as well as fit over a new rhythm.

...anyway the dude managed to get his account suspended so whatever...

you dont have to time stretch...just chop the sample accordingly...it will fall into tempo..maybe a bit time consuming..but it can be done with proper chopping
