Gday

I know that this has probably been covered before but:

I've got an mpc1000 with os2.0, i've had it bout two months now and am just starting to sample.
I'm trying to sample off my ipod using the analog inputs, whenever i timestrech the sample down to match my bpm (sample is 174 bpm and my sequence is set to 90) it sounds rubbish. the sample comes out sounding stacatto like.
Is this cause i'm streching it too much, an mpc bug or is it because i'm using mp3 files off my ipod.????
any good tutorials out there/?
cheers

Stretch more than 10-15% and you will get that unnatural sound you are talking about. So don't stretch too much. Or chop small peices of it and you will be able to get more stretch outta the peices, then afterwards, put them back together.
