MPC 1000 ISSUES getting samples to fit loops etc

i have this same problem when when i am trying to loop a sample and put a beat to it so it sounds tight all in the mpc.

First i would listen to the sample and try to manually use the tap tempo feature to get the tempo settings as close as possible.
then i would set the sampe to one shot,
hitting the pad at the start of a 4 bar loop(for example) and then trying to fine tune the tempo so it loops tight.

the results are not always convincing like this ...am i going about this the right way or is there a better way to do it.

i could time stretch the sample using computer software but this is for situations where i just have the mpc

Please don't double post.

Try messing with tune, time stretch (on pc/mac), loop on off start and end points. Somewhere in this mix of processes you should be fine. Also check my signature link for a DEEP SOUND website, it has a time stretch calculator and other tools that might help.

If you're starting out with a sampled loop and build your tracks around that it might be easier to fit the sequence bpm to the loop instead.
I always do that when i use just one loop anyway.

cool il no for future..
safe for the links dog i got the tools now

ieism:thats what i have been trying to do....nice one anyway yeah
