Lemme see if I understand. Basically, here's the deal. You sampled a 2 bar loop, and broke it into 16 parts, so you have 8 chops per bar (2 per note if you are using 4 beat bars)
So you paste them at 1, 1.48, 2, 2.48, 3, 3.48, 4 & 4.48 (or 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 if you use the double tempo/resolution trick) on each bar. then you press play, but sh!t don't line up. Is that right?
Most likely problem is the original musician didn't play the music exactly on beat, so when you chop it and paste it on beat, it don't line up. This happens a lot, you just gotta fine tune where you paste them.
When you chop into zones, the buffer you're talking about is how many ticks extra it leaves on each end. You can make it zero, so you can tell exactly when the chop ends, and so have a more precise line-up of samples. Hope this helps
