dude this is really cool but if you want to time stretch the audio to fit the bar, alt+drag and it'll snap to the grid.

@dammitdave245 True, but this way you get a choice over which algorithm to stretch with, so you can get better quality results for the type of material you're using.

i used the zoom shortcut and i don't know how to zoom out :( i'm in a macbook. how do i do it!? D:

[soundsLogical]

@deansinghgill ha ha, just press "z" or ctrl-alt-click to go back to the previous zoom size.

In terms of tempo matching I'd just drop a Metering>BPM Counter into the inserts, play the loop and read off the BPM.

@emailjackreid Good idea. It's not always 100% precise though.

Liking dubstep doesn't mean you *only* like dubstep :P

i tried doing the exact same thing as shown here, however when i double clicked on my drum sample to get into Sample Editor, it didn't allow me to access the Time and Pitch Machine. do i need to use a specific track for the sample ...?? help appreciated!

I know this is a beginners question on an advanced video but at 16.35 when you duplicate the audio/folder by draggins and hitting a key - whats the shortcut for that again? I am an old 'logic on the PC' user relearning on the Mac and I can't remember that shortcut or seem to find it written down anywhere - awesome video though.. thank you.

Loved the loop.. Was wondering the name of the track that the drum loop came from, i dont care about the free tutorials, could you just tell me the name of it.
