How to Time Stretch Samples to # Of Bars?

You can do this in many DAW's by simply using their time/pitch machine and along with stretching the sample to BPM, you could set the BPM and also get the sample to fit a specific number of bars. It's super easy to do in FL Studio but I can't figure out how to do it in the MPC Software.

Any help?

What you're talking about is probably something like Elastic Audio or real time timestretch! MPC obviously doesn't have this. What I can suggest to find your samples BPM is to count how many bars the sample is, set a blank sequence to that amount of bars, record the sample in the sequencer and adjust the tempo of the sequence til the sample loops perfectly. When it loops perfect, you've found the tempo of the sample. Now go to timestretch it and enter the tempo you found into the original BPM field, then select you desired tempo in the other field!

Thanks, DJ Hellfire. I was wondering how I did this as well. Will this technique loop the sample perfectly in the original sequence?
