I sampled a 4 bar loop, zoned it to to 16 pads, used my step function and it came out cool when I put the BPM to like 94, but then I tried to lay down a drum track on track 2 and they didn't sync up, can someone lend me some advice on this, thanx

Is the drum track a loop that your trying to get to line up with the sample?

If so chop up the drums and create your own pattern.

Lay the melody first then just overdub the drums.If you can't get it on time that way............i'm not sure what to say.

Its easier in my opinion to lay down basic drums just to match up the melody than just go bak and get silly wit the drums when u do them over.

if drum track is too distracting, adjust the sample to the metronome track to get a seamless loop then readjust after drums are laid on top. you can also use the slider with 'after' function to adjust sample velocity to make it fit.
