I was wondering how do you use the 4000 or any of the MPC's to correct an uneven tempo or match up the BPM to another tempo. I Know about time streching and chopping up the sample . When I use the BPM fuction it makes my sample way too fast for what I need. The original tempo showing in the MPC's window is not correct as well. I saw a video were a producer by the name of Boola(Rocafella) was working on a MPC 3000 and he chopped up the sample across the pads and made the tempo of the sample match the tempo of the MPC. My problem is that when you sample a live band off of a record the tempo might change within that, lets say," four bars. Boola spread the sample across the pads and then he made the sample overlap at first(the complete loop). Then he made the pads of the complete loop cut each other off and then some kinda of way he made the off tempo loop match the tempo of the MPC's tempo. I run into this problem alot so could somebody help me figure out this MPC trick. He said that you might need 4 pads or 16 pads just whatever it takes to get the sample on tempo. I know how to chop and spread the sample, I just need to know how to make the pads cut each other off like in the video. This is were I found the video from boola at..... http://malefactor.org/beatmakingvideos/boola.wmv
