I've made my first track in the force, in the clip view, and then recorded it into the arrangement but it sounds badly different in parts. I'm not sure why this is, the timing is off, and some of my intro parts sound completely different to the clips versions. I've tried recording it with timing correct on and off and got the same result. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Can you post a video example (for instance, a short section) of what you’re doing and what happens? Might be easier to troubleshoot.

I'll see what i can do. All I'm doing is launching my scenes into the arranger via record to lay out the track. I've got it basically mastered, (basically), and i have effects on the main outs if that makes a difference. The strange thing is the main verse chorus sections are okay but some of the intro part's are miss-timed and there is some other crazy stuff happening with a riser in my intro.

I have an MPC live NOT the force
I find AKAI’s warp alogrithms to be weak: Do you have tempo changes ?
My machine has “hiccups” between sequences from time to time: try it again and see if it just a “hiccup

Thanks DoKBrown, Yeah I've tried it multiple times making little tweaks here and there it has been really frustrating. I've got a finished tune that i can not accurately recreate in the arranger which as far as i know is the only way to lay it out for export.

YAY! Welcome to the wonderful world of resampling. Well done.
