I slowly don't have the patience for this anymore.
Example. I isolated the vocals using Spleeter. Now I want warp this to the beat.
Beat is 140bpm, I added vocal as audio track and warp it to 140bpm also. Than I found specific points and shifted the audio precisely to the markers.
Nevertheless, after a short time, it begins to fall apart.
How to do it?
The only method is to cut the whole thing into 2sec parts and warp it separately? It takes hours, I just want to do a beat around the vocal because creating 4 bar beats is simply boring.

Audio sample here (start from 2:05) I tried to sync hihat for an hour and nothing:

It does NOT take hours - it takes minutes to set this up. Why don't you chop the sample into the 4-bar section you need (and make sure you tell the MPC what the BPM is for the sample), and then trigger it in a Drum Program? You can even turn on Audio Warp so it keeps time with your project tempo if you change it. Or set it up as a Clip.

Not sure why you are doing this as an Audio Track...? :hmmm:

I've tried this way before. It is even more difficult because there is no graphic equivalent of the wave, which makes it difficult to match anything with the bit.
Additionally, it is hard to put together a few samples in grid mode. The sample only starts playing from the beginning, so you can't match it halfway. You have to listen to the beginning 100x before you can match this one sample perfectly. After this time, I only hear the sample in my head and then I delete the project.

Still, I tried again now and it doesn't work like you say.

Here is my project:
