Hey all,

Just got the Force and when I launch clips that have a different length say one 4 bars and the other 16 bars the sound is messed up.
BPM is the same and sounds synced but it sounds like a Flanger effect is active.
This is with all clips even with the exact same sample but made shorter.

Demo projects don’t have this problem.

What is wrong?

I can’t find that.

Let me explain more detailed what I did.
How I started this project was with loops I already had.
They are all exactly 2 4 or 8 bars whatever.
All the same BPM.
I loaded all the loops on different tracks and clips.
Maybe that’s why I don’t have the option you told? That I did this the wrong way loading them.

The weird part is it only sounds like a flanger effect if they are perfectly synced, if I play a scene or different track clips while they are not in sync it’s not. But if they are not synced it sounds like crap. So that’s a problem.

Maybe I should play around with the Force more for a while to get used to it and discover things. Already watched a lot tutorials last weeks but the things I want to do I either can’t find or it won’t work. Same with the manual, many things I understand but a lot I want to know is not in it.
So I am getting a whole list of things that I think how the hell do I do this?

I am getting more formiliar with it but it’s babysteps.
Gotta put in some time and effort first and fully understand the basics.

Thanks for the help! Nice beat on your SoundCloud!
