Time stretch!

Time stretch is the shyt!

I was always the main one saying how I never used it..
Not that I had anything against it...
I just thought I never needed to use it.
That shows my inexperience right their
This shyt stepped my game up crazy now...
I started fukin around with it a couple days ago

u mean on ur xl? cuz if u do then u need to chek out how much doper stretchin would b if u got a hardware piece that is made for doin that... i know alotafools here would say do it on ur pc... but ima hardware dood so thats wut i suggest...i believe u wen u say it steped up your game... when u figure out the best way 4 u to chop and stretch and pitch certain samples that r best 4 that, then it does open up a whole new spectrum... esp if ur a heavy sample dood...i am a hardcore sampler to the max...though im not bound by it...buticeewutumean...

See thats the thing Lamp...
When I stretch a long sample it doesnt take a while...
I stretch it in the bpm screen
You know when u open up Time stretch then open bpm and when u change the tempo to whatever it dont take long....
I think I waited 30 seconds Max for a long sample...

Oh, ok, than that's cool.

i still dont really use TS .. im kinda like jac .. havent had a need to yet ... im not a heavy sampler .. as ive said before i use the MPC as a sequencer mostly ... so how does time stretch do wut it do ...
i.e like it takes a sample and basically forces it into the tempo you want ...
but cant you just pitch shift it and get the same result basically ...

Peace, good info. I too never use it, i'm damn near anti-timestretch, but now i think i'm ready to get more into it, so that sparks a question...

Say u have ur loop, pitched to ur liking, but the tempo is off by say, 1/2 a BPM. How do u know how much to stretch the loop? Is it just a trial and error thing? Thx in advance!

Found it, definitely appreciate it!

no trial and error.
if the loop is an exact amount of beats (loops correctly) in the bpm timestretch u enter the number of beats and let it detects teh tempo.

it never disappointed me.

ableton then mpc, pure bliss, i can have it timestreched and about 6 different variation of the loops, exported and back on the SD card ready to load. b4 the mpc even does 10% of the TS.

It's easily the best for time stretching loops. Makes recycle look dated.

But I try to avoid time stretching in general. Anything over 5 or 6 bpm and you start hearing weird stuff in the sample. TS also has a nasty habit of messin up the starts of drum hits. So you lose some of the attack. But it's useful when you're one or two bpm either side of the tempo.

Keyword IF, not everyone can do this properly or close to properly. So back to trial and error until they learn. Look at how many posts there are about looping correctly....
