Hi. So I sample a beat and the beat loops perfect, I save the sample, and load the sample into an audio clip - and it sounds great. But next time I sample a beat and the beat loops perfect, I save the sample, and load the sample into an audio clip - and there is an initial clip like the first beat is doubling up. I've re-recorded the sample over and over and no matter what I do I get the clipping/doubling sound. But other samples I've made today and in the past work fine.

I encountered the same clipping sound when my wife makes a drum beat on her MPC which plays great on the MPC, and I load the .wav file into an audio clip on the force. I never figured that one out either, but I'm wondering if it is the same issue.

Yes, I've read the manual and searched the internet - which is why I'm asking for help here. Thanks!

Do you mean with clipping that there are two sounds over each other, distortion or a click? My advice would be to chop up the drumbreak in even parts and sequence it that way.
