ok i got a parliment sample i dont know how to explain but when i try to loop it it still sounds like it cuts out and then the loop comes in so i guess theres a space between the loops lol how could i fix that thank you

your looping it at the wrong speed for the length of the loop..

if you want to void that "blank spot" you will have to play around with it in "trim mode"(shift+trim)..now just mess with it in there

you need to slow your tempo down if theres a gap and you need to speed it up if it overlaps..hope that helps!!

^^^ Besides the correct tempo;

Can we assume that you've trimmed the sample correctly? (i.e. no sampled silence at start and/or end of the sample waveform data)

Are you trying to loop it by recording multiple instances of the sample into a sequencer track as linear MIDI events or are you trying to produce a self-looping sample - two different things.

How about the good ole tap tempo button and then adjust to taste?

I tried to trim as. Close as I could when it say bmp I put 100 but how many "beats" do I need I got it on only 4 bars so does that mean I need 16 seconds of sample or
More or less ? Or does that not matter
