can i timestretch a piece of a sample instead of the sample as a whole?I highlighted the piece of the sample i want timestretched and it only did the whole sample.

pretty sure your gonna have to extract and then timestretch your selection...

has to be the whole sample.
no selecting pieces like that.

i think that it'd be easier for you if you just chopped the sample into 8 or so pieces. that way you'd have timestretching control over small bits and warp it piece by piece into fitting your project. REAL easy to do, and worth it because you have a LOT more control later on.
think about it and give it a shot.

ok so if i cut the sample into 2 and timestretch them seperately will i be able to put join them back into one sample?

why rejoin em? just program em to hit in the order you want em played in.

you might not be able to do that on thye mpc but there are loads of sift that can do it for sure

its better practice to have the sample in the time you need first then chop it up.

either way it doesn't really matter, unless your sample is WAY off your initial tempo. in this case, definitely get it in the ballpark before chopping. in fact, it's best to timestretch it a couple bpms SLOWER than the mpc tempo so you can chop and have em overlap a bit. gives you more leeway.
it all depends on how far you want to warp your sample's sound. can't do it TOO far without killing the quality, though, so be warned. often i find that it's best to timestretch a short note rather than the whole thing. gives it an interesting sound because that note only crops up once and a while and sticks out because of the timestretching, and not unpleasantly.
