Does anyone know what is the numerology on the sample edit screen is referencing (for the start and end points)? how is it relative to seconds? I am trying to match an exact video exert and feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Couldn't find much on the manual.

In digital audio, 44,100 Hz (alternately represented as 44.1 kHz) is a common sampling frequency. Analog audio is recorded by sampling it 44,100 times per second, and then these samples are used to reconstruct the audio signal when playing it back.

in the sample edit if you tap the gear icon(setting) you should be able to set the timeline units in time, samples and beats.

They should let you select default settings. I would always want it under beats/bars. I made an empty template that way so I never have to switch it again.
